Press Release

Koenig & Clinton is pleased to announce Digs, the gallery’s first solo exhibition of sculptures and paintings by Enoc Perez. On view in the main space is a selection of new cast-iron ‘swizzle stick’ sculptures and paintings that depict Minoru Yamasaki’s World Trade Center. Vivid paintings of vernacular homes in Puerto Rico populate the adjacent space. Together, all works emphasize the operations of history and memory as they relate to the legacies of optimism embodied by 20th century Modernist structures.
