ANDOVER — Addison Gallery of American Art held its Spring Opening Reception Saturday night to show off its latest offerings. Highlighting the Addison’s new lineup of exhibitions is “June Leaf: Shooting from the Heart,” a show that will be on display here before moving to New York University’s Grey Art Museum in September and then to Oberlin College’s Allen Memorial Art Museum, just west of Cleveland. With a career spanning some 75 years, Leaf (1929–2024) produced an extraordinary body of work that revels in the human experience in all its banality and sublimity. Born and trained in Chicago and later relocating to New York after two formative stints in Paris, Leaf’s career took off in 1968 with her carnivalesque, breakout exhibition “Street Dreams,” at Allan Frumkin Gallery in New York. In the 1970s, in tandem with her part-time move to a remote fishing village in Nova Scotia, Leaf developed her signature mode of densely layered drawings and paintings, and spindly, expressive tin and wire figurative sculptures. Leaf’s work defies categorization. In her studio everyday to weld, draw, paint and rearrange her characters, Leaf was an epic interpreter of human relations and experiences. Accompanied by a scholarly publication produced by the exhibit’s co-organizers and Italian book publishers Rizzoli Electa, “Shooting from the Heart” made its debut at the Addison Saturday.
