The Ark, The Church; An exhibition curated by Eric Fischl
Published by Pointed Leaf Press
The Ark, the extraordinary book which both stands alone and accompanies the identically titled exhibition at The Church in Sag Harbor (21 June to 1 September 2025), brings together sculptures from several generations of artists who have captured humanity's deepest pleasures and fears through imagination and self-expression. Curated by renowned artist Eric Fischl, this collection resonates with the ancient story of survival against overwhelming odds. Within this contemporary ark, you'll discover sculptures that embody the inherent beauty of animals while simultaneously exploring the mythic, visual, and cultural with unexpected power. The book presents works that are not mere representations but embodiments of mysteries in our struggle for survival and protection against a hostile world. From Louise Bourgeois’ monumental spiders to Deborah Butterfield's reclining horses, from William Kentridge's bronze pigeons to Jane Rosen's ethereal glass hawk—each piece invites contemplation of our place in nature.
