Artist Spotlight: Liz Glynn
See work by the Liz Glynn in Upstate New York, Long Island, and Italy this summer.
Storm King Art Center, New Windsor, New York
On view until November 9, 2026
As part of Storm King's 2026 season, Liz Glynn presents Open House, the artist’s 2017 concrete reconstructions of Louis XIV-style furniture in the rolling meadows of Upstate New York. Arranged to evoke an opulent Gilded Age ballroom, the work was first installed at the southern end of Central Park by the Public Art Fund. Nestled in the grass, Glynn’s sculptures invite visitors to engage directly with the works and imagine the origins and former lives of the displaced furniture.
