Joseph Kurhajec- Mérida Museum of Fine Art

Gallery and studio of Joseph Kurhajec, a sculptor and painter who divides his time between Mérida, France and Treadwell, a hamlet in upstate New York where he has maintained a base since 1971

Art critic Edward Bryant called painter and sculptor Kurhajec “a wild and generous artist, the creator of formidable, declarative sculptures which bite sharply into our fin de siècle complacency.”

Kurhajec’s extensive career includes exhibitions at Allan Stone Gallery and the Whitney and Guggenheim museums in New York City; the Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, N.Y.; Galleria Etrusculudens in Rome; Art 6’75 Basel, Switzerland; Gallery Alexander Monet, Brussels; Galerie Caroline Corre, Paris; and Czech Museum of Fine Arts in Prague.

“For us, art is research. It is through art that we explore the unknown. With this spirit in mind, we make art and collect art. Our doors are open to share with you a unique experience”—Joseph Kurhajec.

His studio on Calle 60 is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Call ahead to confirm: 999-328-9045.
