Dimensions variable.

Gallery Counter is a sculpture and parody on the stereotypical gallery counter often seen in galleries in Chelsea, New York. Finding it amusing to only see the top of someone's head behind the counter motivated me to make a replica of one of these counters, while replacing the person behind the counter with a dummy head and wig.

This image shows Gallery Counter installed in a solo exhibition at Lora Reynolds Gallery in Austin, Texas (January 26 - March 1, 2008).
