Figures, How Things Look by Denise Kupferschmidt is a selection of drawings, sketches, and materials cut from books and magazines, collected over the years, that retained importance as either inspirational materials or moments of discovery or shift in her studio practice. Created at different times but here grouped together they present a new layer through which to view Kupferschmidt's iconic drawings.

Denise Kupferschmidt has had solo exhibitions in Chicago, Boston, and most recently in East Hampton and at NADA NY with Halsey McKay Gallery. Her work has been included in exhibitions in New York at Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery, Marvelli Gallery, Lucien Terras, and Eleven Rivington, as well as at Western Exhibitions in Chicago, and Cooper Cole Gallery in Toronto.
