D
Berman Gallery is pleased to present Lance
Letscher: Work from the middle ages, a collection
of new collages. Fresh from his successful
exhibition in Paris (France), now in Wimberley
(Texas) Letscher continues to utilize the
paper scraps of our culture to create his
particular worlds. In Bookforum, Albert
Mobilio writes:
"If the Book is doomed, it could have
no better funeral director than Austin-based
artist Lance Letscher. He may be inclined
to dismember the deceased, but he’ll
leave behind a beautiful corpse. The raw
materials for his intricate and startlingly
colorful collages are mined, by and large,
from his favorite Dumpster out back of a
local used-book and -record store, where
he collects discarded volumes—he’s
especially fond of shiny-covered college
tomes and beat-up high school books—for
his studio-cum–chop shop."
Lance Letscher has exhibited extensively
in Austin, Houston, Los Angeles, New York,
San Francisco, and Seattle, as well as in
Poznan, Poland; Munich, Germany; and Barcelona,
Spain. His work can be found in the collections
of the Austin Museum of Art, Austin, Texas;
Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas; California
State University Print Collection, Long
Beach, California; Vinson & Elkins Law
Firm, Houston, Texas; Dell Children's Medical
Center, Austin, Texas; and numerous other
public and private collections across the
globe.
Letscher lives and works in Austin.
