Sarah Peters

Group exhibitions include Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum (CT), Galerie Eva Presenhuber (NY), Perrotin Gallery (South Korea), and Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park (MI), among others. Her work has been reviewed and featured in publications such as The New York Times, Art in America, Artforum, and Brooklyn Rail.
