THIS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 7PM:

"Judith Schaechter's stained glass narratives are a paradoxical assemblage of medieval depictions, mediated by contemporary tales of human failings. Hers is a demented carnival world, made claustrophobic by dizzying arrays of texture, obsessive detail and intense color."

That's part of Judith's official biography from Claire Oliver Gallery, but just go to her website and be amazed for yourself: www.judithschaechter.com !

Unassailably one of Philadelphia's most significant living contributors to the international art scene, Judith has FINALLY gotten the lavish coffee table book that her work has deserved for so long.

Published by Philadelphia's Free News Projects and offered at a SPECIAL DISCOUNT TONIGHT ONLY, the perfect holiday gift is even better with the artist's signature. And don't miss her Powerpoint lecture: always an impeccable cross of art history lesson and the darkest humor.
