Roberto Lugo Is Using a Greco-Roman Pottery Tradition to Tell His Own Stories
2 of 7
Roberto Lugo poses in his Philadelphia studio with an in-progress work, an urn that he’s since completed for his new exhibition, The Gilded Ghetto, now on display at R & Company in New York. The urn is a focal point of the show and a key component of his Peacock Room installation, Lugo’s interpretation of painter James McNiell Whistler’s period room of the same name at the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
