Faye Hirsch

Faye Hirsch’s forthcoming book, co-written with Ingrid Schaffner, is In The Company of Artists: A History of Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture (Hirmer Verlag).

Poems from Here, the title of Tessa Greene O’Brien’s first solo show in New York, evokes the sensation of viewing her Maine landscapes across the twenty-one works from 2026 that make up her dual-venue exhibition, at Candice Madey and Alexandre.

It is a particular pleasure to see an ambitious display of over thirty works by Neil Welliver in a pop-up outpost of New York’s Alexandre Gallery in Rockport. Welliver resided in mid-coastal Maine for some half a century before his death in 2005, but this is, according to the gallery, his “first significant showing” at home since a major exhibition at the Ogunquit Museum of Art in 2001.
