A survey of works created at the Los Angeles-based artists' workshop, Gemini G.E.L., first solely by Edward Kienholz and then later in collaboration with his wife, Nancy Reddin Kienholz, will be on view at Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl from February 7th through March 30th, 1996.

The exhibition begins with Edward Kienholz's The Marriage Icon (1972). Through the use of reproduced postcard images collected by Kienhol, the timeline of old-fashioned romance is depicted, from courtship to marriage and family. Placed in an antique wooden frame and dripping with resin, these images explore sexuality and human relationships, questioning personal and societal ideals.
