"Placing Avery: Paintings and Prints from the Collection of the Neuberger Museum of Art" Exhibition
1285 Avenue of the Americas Art Gallery
This event has ended.
The exhibition traces Milton Avery’s pivotal role in the American transition from representational artwork to Abstract Expressionism through his 53-year career, highlighting landscapes, portraits, still lifes and domestic scenes in a variety of media, including oil paintings, watercolors, etchings and lithographs. The exhibition will also examine Avery’s circle— Avery surrounded himself with an artistically and politically sophisticated group of friends of all ages, who viewed artwork together, sketched and critiqued one another’s progress. "Placing Avery" will illustrate these influential artistic relationships, exploring how Avery studied the work of his predecessors, shared his work and advice with his contemporaries, and inspired subsequent generations of artists.
