HERTAWORKS AT ESSEX NYC
If you’re in NYC and looking for a great place to have brunch, come see Herta’s paintings on permanent display at Essex Restaurant, down on the lower east side.
Herta used to have group art shows there with Maxstyle.tv when she first moved to NY. She sold her first painting to the restaurant, a triptych of showcasing red, yellow and black gloved bodies. Soon after, one of the 3 panels were stolen and Herta was approached for a new commission. Herta then created a diptych, also part of the original bodies series, in black, red and white. Essex also acquired “A Hairy Situation”, a multi-media piece in black and red, where Herta adhered synthetic hair to the canvas for textural interest and “a playful take on hair at a restaurant”.

APRIL 2016 IONA, Brooklyn, NY: On display were 2 collections, a total of 27 small paintings ranging in sizes from 6"x6" to 11"x14". The first collection, as you walk in is called "My favorite things". This collection uses salvaged fabric and leather samples that had been discarded as her canvas. The fabric was stretched and the leather was framed like paper. The second collection across the bar is called "Places", and is a series of paintings on masonite inspired by NYC. All paintings are for sale and will be up for the first 3 weeks in April.
