​Space and the Sacred: Letterio Calapai’s Prints

Louise and Bernard Palitz Art Gallery
Lubin House, New York City
February 10–June 5, 2025

Between the 1940s and his death in 1993, printmaker and art educator Letterio Calapai produced dozens of prints examining outer space and Catholic subjects. By focusing on these two seemingly disparate subjects, this exhibition explores how Calapai sought to understand the changing world around him by placing the Space Race in conversation with the late-20th-century cultural shifts.

This exhibition is curated by Julia Neufeld, G’24.
