Now on view at Gallery 16, A Light That Never Goes Out is an exhibition of new work by Libby Black and the first solo exhibition in San Francisco for the artist since 2012. The artist presents arrangements of her signature still life sculptures—recreations of luxury goods made with paper, hot glue, and acrylic paint—as well as a series of new paintings and drawings. Spirit, one of the sculptures included in A Light That Never Goes Out, is a seemingly full scale recreation of a boat, complete with luxury cargo.
