Adolph Gottlieb: Early Prints
May 1 – July 27

Although the Abstract Expressionists are known primarily for large-scale paintings, many of them also made more intimate works, including graphics. Gottlieb (1903-1974) began making prints in 1933. Over the next 15 years, during which he was developing his Pictographs, he created numerous linocuts and intaglio prints, primarily etchings. This exhibition, organized by Sanford Hirsch, executive director of the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation, surveys that period and includes several unique impressions, as well as rare images from very small editions.
A catalogue with an essay by Richard S. Field is available.

Lee Krasner, Untitled, 1947. Oil on canvas, 22 1/8 x 15 7/8 inches. Lent by Mr. and Mrs. Eugene V. Thaw.

Lee Krasner: Little Image Paintings, 1946-1950
August 3 – October 31

Soon after Lee Krasner (1908-1984) moved to East Hampton in 1945, she began to develop a series of allover abstract compositions that she later called her Little Image paintings. They are notable for their richly impastoed surfaces, mosaic-like structure and calligraphic imagery. To celebrate the centenary of her birth, the museum in her former home will feature ten of those paintings, on loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Guild Hall Museum, AXA Financial, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, and several private collectors. A catalogue with an essay by Gail Levin is available.
