The artist’s “shack” works.
Andrew Edlin Gallery, 212 Bowery, through May 8.
Before she died at 75, in 2015, Beverly Buchman fashioned a private city from cardboard and found wood, painted in beautiful colors. The structures are those of Jim Crow: old shotgun shacks, tobacco barns, tumbledown homes—places that people cobbled together out of what was at hand, having found ways to not only survive but create a vernacular architecture.
