The Magical World of Joan Danziger

Joan Danziger is a Washington, D.C.-based sculptor. She recently had a retrospective exhibit, The Magical World of Joan Danziger, at the Katzen Museum at American University. That exhibit included some seven decades of works beginning with drawings from the 1950’s and 60’s through glass sculptures of ravens from the last few years. In between are a lot of large, poofy and playful sculptures of beetles, acrobats and birds. Some of the works from that exhibit are presented here in rough chronological order.
