Nussbaum’s wide-ranging career has taken him from Minneapolis to New York and across the country through commissions and exhibitions. You may have seen his public art in places like Montclair’s Bay Street Station or the Albert E. Hinds Gates in Princeton, NJ. This exhibition offers a closer look at the studio practice behind the public works, alongside rarely seen early pieces, and intimate works on paper.
The exhibition takes its name from one of Nussbaum’s latest works, But Wait, There’s More! (2024)—a fitting title for an artist who’s never stopped creating, questioning, and surprising. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, there’s always more to discover.
A fully illustrated catalogue, by Gail Stavitsky, with essays by Tom Nussbaum and Jennifer McGregor, accompanies the show, featuring new essays on Nussbaum’s career, creative influences, and public art projects.
The exhibition is curated by Gail Stavitsky, Ph.D, Chief Curator, Montclair Art Museum.
