Holland Tunnel Gallery will feature a collection of figurative and kinetic metal sculptures by local Brooklyn artist Alexandra Limpert in an exhibition titled, Reverie. The exhibition opening will take place on April 14th. Featured sculptures Oracle and Wallflowers.
“Holland Tunnel Gallery opened when I was living in Williamsburg and it was an artists’ neighborhood,” said Alexandra Limpert. “The gallery was surrounded by row houses and sky then – and my studio was in a factory building a block away. Although the Holland Tunnel Gallery is still here and going strong, most of the artists have moved away, the sky is now blocked by condo buildings and my old studio building has become a luxury loft building. Reverie expresses this oasis of a gallery in a rapidly changing landscape and represents the artists that have come and gone – it’s almost unreal.”
“We are proud to exhibit the sculptures of local Brooklyn artist Alexandra Limpert in our gallery,” said Paulien Lethen, Director of Holland Tunnel Gallery. “Her work combines a mastery of materials with an elegance of expression.”
Exhibition Opening, Saturday, April 14th from 6pm – 8pm. Reverie exhibition is on view on weekends 1pm – 5pm from April 14th through Sunday, May 20th.

Holland Tunnel Gallery
Holland Tunnel Gallery is a unique art space at three locations where a diverse cultural crowd and artists from all over the world meet to enjoy visual arts, music and performances. The story of Holland Tunnel Gallery started in 1997, when Dutch artist Paulien Lethen organized a one weekend exhibition in her newly installed garden shed in Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY. It was a totally different way to experience art! The smallest gallery of New York rapidly gained international recognition in the art world and the instant success led to more shows and two more Holland Tunnels – one more in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and the other Paros, Greece, each with a totally different atmosphere.
