Leonora Carrington’s Enigmatic Sculptures Get a Rare Outing in New York

L’Space Gallery in New York is presenting “Shape of Dreams: Sculptures by Leonora Carrington,” a rare exhibition focused on the British Mexican Surrealist’s bronze sculptures and jewelry, on view through June 27, 2026. Produced with Consigna Gallery of Mexico City and the Leonora Carrington Council, the show includes works such as *The Palmist* and *La Inventora del Atole*, alongside a selection by her son Pablo Weisz Carrington. An interactive Tarot Reading Booth, featuring a deck designed by Carrington and an A.I. reconstruction of her voice, anchors the exhibition.

The exhibition matters because Carrington’s sculptures are seldom shown in the United States, offering a new dimension of her practice beyond her celebrated paintings. By highlighting her sculptural output and integrating immersive, mystical elements, the show deepens understanding of Carrington’s engagement with mythology, the occult, and folklore, while also bridging her art with contemporary technology.
