Company Gallery is proud to present DOLL PARTY, an exhibition of works by the seminal, multi-disciplinary artist, Greer Lankton (1958-1996), organized in collaboration with the Greer Lankton Archives Museum (G.L.A.M.). The presentation pays homage to the ethos of this great cultural icon in photographs, polaroids, and sculptures which were made in the 1980s when she lived and worked in the East Village with her husband, Paul Monroe. In 1984, Monroe gave Lankton her first solo show at his boutique EINSTEINS which proved so successful that two years later, she opened her own gallery in the shop called THE DOLL CLUB. In addition to showing works in the gallery, Lankton would also use the window of the store to create displays which expressed her delights and concerns. Having lost 36 friends in a two-year period to AIDS, Lankton created several installations that forced people to face the ongoing effects that the crisis had on their community. The window also introduced passerby’s to the doll Sissy, one the most recognized artworks by Lankton, who underwent the same sexual reassignment surgery as the artist.
