This October, for the first time, Lyndhurst is home to an outdoor art exhibition presented within the bare bones of an 18,600 square-foot greenhouse, a historic structure located on the Lyndhurst grounds. Artists were invited to explore the theme of the Scarecrow and look beyond the traditional straw-filled dummy to explore broader themes associated with this figure as human surrogate, decoy, and silent observer.
The Scarecrow exhibition coincides with the annual “Scarecrow Invasion” at Lyndhurst, a popular Halloween event in which hundreds of scarecrows created largely by children from local school districts are displayed throughout the grounds of Lyndhurst.
Anki King grew up in a small village in Norway. After completing her arts education in Oslo, Norway, she moved to New York City in 1994 where she studied at The Art Students League until 1998. In New York, King has built a strong career as a painter and exhibits frequently both in Europe and in the USA. Her work is included in many private and public collections including the Appleton Museum of Art, Ocala FL. Additionally, King has exhibited at the Katonah Museum of Art, NY, Las Cruces Museum of Art, NM, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Tokyo and the National Gallery of the Dominican Republic. In 2010 she won the London International Creative Competition Award. For more information visit: www.ankiking.com. Contact
