Sabbath - The 2017 Doroty Saxe Invitational

Catalog of the exhibition "Sabbath: The 2017 Dorothy Saxe Invitational", organized by and presented at The Contemporary Jewish Museum, Nov 12, 2017¿Feb 25, 2018. The Dorothy Saxe Invitational is The CJM's longest-running commitment; endowed in Dorothy's name by her late husband George Saxe, the Invitational asks artists to make work that relates to selected Jewish ritual objects. For 2017, the eleventh iteration of the series, we have for only the second time commissioned works inspired by a Jewish idea, that of the Sabbath. Fifty-seven artists are showing three-dimensional work displayed on shelves and pedestals, filling the gallery with colorful and surprising forms.
