On February 13th, the Salt Queen: Bettina Werner, an internationally renowned pioneering Milan born American artist, unveiled her one of a kind innovative collection of glowing salt-crystal artworks at the notable ABXY Gallery. The exhibition runs until March 3rd, 2018.
Known as the Salt Queen for her significant accomplishments within the art world, Bettina Werner has attracted international attention since the early 1980s for her invention of her own technique for colorizing and texturizing salt crystals, and became the first artist to use salt exclusively as an art medium.
