“FOCUS ON ABSTRACT GEMS”
Small Paintings, Sculptures, and Paper Pieces
February 13th – April 7th 2018
As winter is fully upon us, few people venture out to visit galleries. Our charming exhibit of small paintings, paper pieces, and sculptures are worth the trip. These works adhere to the gallery’s focus of abstract expressionist style, but offers an eclectic variety of genre, medium and eras. It exposes rare drawings, prints, photographs and paintings from some of the most significant artists of the 1950’s and 1960’s. This show follows our tradition of representing important artists from all backgrounds to the public. Seeing these wonderful works of art will certainly lift your spirit by invoking feelings of pleasure that we often seek.
The artists included are:
Karl Appel, Mario Bencomo, Seymour Boardman, Ernest Briggs, James Brooks, Lawrence Calcagno, Perez Célis, Herman Cherry, Beauford Delaney, Lynne Drexler, Amaranth Ehrenhalt, Augustin Fernandez, Sonia Gechtoff, Grace Hartigan, Burt Hasen, David Hayes, Carl Hecker, Mitchiko Itatani, Buffie Johnson, Andrey Klasson, Ibram Lassaw, Michael Loew, William Manning, Jeanne Miles, Leonard Nelson, Richards Ruben, William Saroyan, Ethel Schwabacher, Aaron Siskind, Keith Sonnier, Charmion Von Wiegand, and Wilfred Zogbaum.
