Michael Ingbar Gallery is proud to host a benefit exhibit for the Center for Architecture, which will receive 20% of artwork sale proceeds during the opening reception. On view from September 7-29, 2018, the exhibition Images of New York City – Richard Haas & Friends features many well-known architectural landmarks from Richard Haas as well as work by Daniel Hauben, Assunta Sera and many others.

Richard Haas is best known in NYC for his rendering of the cast-iron façade in SoHo as well as his many architectural etchings and trompe l’oeil works. His descriptive architectural artwork has been described as making: “…people stop and think about architecture and realize that buildings are not just a backdrop; they are also an active presence in our lives”(Paul Goldberger, Architecture Critic, Vanity Fair).

The artist’s reception will be held on Friday, September 7, 2018 from 5 to 8 pm. Richard Haas will give a brief lecture around 6:30 pm. Other artists will also be present. Register here.
