FANTASY WORLDS
UBU Gallery displays drawings made by troubled German artist Unica Zurn during the decade before her 1970 suicide in Paris. Born in Berlin, Zurn was fascinated by fantastical creatures and repeating patterns. She was encouraged by her lover, Surrealist artist Hans Bellmer, to experiment with “automatic” drawings that incorporated repetitive shapes and lines. Zurn was also an accomplished writer who is known for poems in which each line is an anagram of the last. Through Saturday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., UBU Gallery, 416 E. 59th St., between York and First avenues, 212-753-4444, free.
