Lehmann Maupin is pleased to announce a one-person exhibition by Bonnie Collura entitled "In the Gutter." This show marks Collura's first show at Lehmann Maupin and it will consist of Collura's signature works on paper as well as her amalgamated sculptures of plaster, foam, paper, putty and paint.

Bonnie Collura studied sculpture at Virginia Commonwealth University and then completed her MFA at Yale University before moving to Brooklyn. Since beginning to exhibit four years ago, her work has been included in the "Pop Surrealism" exhibition at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in Connecticut, the "Concentrations" series at the Dallas Museum of Art, as well as the "Spectacular Optical" exhibition at Thread Waxing Space and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami. Jan Hoet selected her for two commissions in Germany: one for the Kunstwegen outdoor sculpture center in Nordhorn in 1999 and the other for Hannmünden in 1998. Last year, Collura was presented with the Emerging Artist Award by the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art. This spring she will participate in the "Dialogue" series curated by Douglas Fogle at the Walker Arts Center in Minneapolis.
