JUDY RIFKA

Exhibition of chalk drawings by New York City-based artist Judy Rifka, who also works in photographic processes.

"Yes, I showed at Hallwalls, too! [December 3, 1977.] And my son Matthew Lenski came, too, as a consultant. [See photo.] Those are great shots! It was a super show! See the burnt lumber on the floor? It made great charcoal. There was a fire in one of the rooms. I escaped down the stairs into a smoke-filled courtyard, holding Matthew. The next morning I used the burnt wood to draw my show. The opening went on just the same, and there was a crowd, and several events” (Judy Rifka, from a Facebook Comment thread, 3/14/19).
