Among mankind’s greatest inventions and obsessions, organized sports and games are, inarguably, one of culture’s greatest sources of passion, ritual, and amusement.
Featuring quilted masterworks that draw formal inspiration from some of our most celebrated table games, dreamy oil paintings depicting solitary bodies immersed in water, fantastic works of folk and naive art (both real and faux), and complex abstractions that, when viewed from afar, reveal themselves as formal drawings of beloved sports stars, Games People Play is a wide-reaching celebration of some of the myriad intersections of art and sport.
The exhibition also features works by Louise Crandell, Robert Otto Epstein, Charley Friedman, Garance, Justin Horne, Jerry McLaughlin, Dan Nelson, Sam Schugren & Phoebe Faint, Wendy Small, Peter Treiber Jr., Felix van Dam and Winneke de Groot (We Are Out of Office), Lexa Walsh, and Jeffrey Wolf.

On view: Saturday, November 4 to November 25.
