Small is Beautiful at Van Doren Waxter features small-scale works by 22 artists, including Etel Adnan, Richard Diebenkorn, and Sam Francis. Inspired by E.F. Schumacher’s book, the exhibition challenges the "bigger is better" ethos and emphasizes the value of quality over quantity. The works encourage viewers to engage intimately with the art, highlighting personal, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the human experience, inviting reflection and empathy.
