From All About Photo:

Meryl Meisler’s solo spotlight exhibition, “On the Money,” is part of the wider “A Collector’s Vision” show at The Bank Art Gallery. Meisler’s photographs are installed inside the luxurious parlor room of a 100-year-old historic building that once housed the Newburgh Savings Bank.

Money talks, and in Meryl Meisler’s case, it wisecracks, reflects and reveals. In “On the Money”. Meisler’s work, dating from 1976 to 2025, many of which have never been seen before, takes us on a fast-paced ride through idioms, attitudes, and absurdities surrounding money. From “dirty money” to “funny money,” her images and wordplay dig beneath the clichés to ask: What are our relationships with money? And why is it still taboo to talk about it? This tongue-in-cheek mini-solo explores what we value, how we spend, and the price we pay – served with wit, wisdom, and a wink. Talking about money might be impolite, but Meisler is doing it anyway, and she’s making it funny, fabulous, and impossible to ignore.
