Description
New York, NY - (January 31, 2023) Following a successful run in London and Paris, Small is Beautiful: Miniature Art Exhibition, a unique experience that will immerse visitors in the peculiar, yet wonderful world of miniature art, will make its US debut in New York City this February. Tickets are now on sale.
Small is Beautiful will showcase over 130 miniature artworks from more than 30 internationally-acclaimed artists, offering visitors a rare opportunity to discover and appreciate this incredibly skillful, yet under-recognized artform up close. The artwork on display varies from photography, sculpture, miniature food, and more. Attention to detail is paramount at the exhibition, and fans of the mini-phenomenon can bring their childhood imaginations back to life inside a number of small-scale universes.
Small is Beautiful was born from social networks, where there are hundreds of miniature artists, who each propose their vision of a world on a reduced scale. The expression "Small is Beautiful" was originally proposed by Leopold Kohr and used in the economics book Small is Beautiful: A Study of Economics as if People Mattered by Ernst Friedrich Schumacher. It advocates a return to a society that is commensurate with the size of the human being, in the face of the gigantism that has become the norm. Each of the artists expresses their own "Small is Beautiful" in their creations, consciously or not. Which is why Small is Beautiful, the first international and innovative immersion in the universe of miniature art, gathers such a wide audience in its unique artistic experience.
The experience will open on February 21 and run through August on Tuesdays through Saturdays at 718 Broadway near Washington Square Park. More information about the Small is Beautiful: Miniature Art Exhibition can be found on the website here.
