poster for Hedda Sterne "Drawing Friends: Hedda Sterne's Portraititis"

This event has ended.

Notable for being the sole woman included in the famous 1951 Life photograph of The Irascibles by Nina Leen, Hedda Sterne stood alongside artists and colleagues such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, Barnett Newman, Robert Motherwell, and others.
Now the last surviving member of the group, Sterne has put forth an oeuvre that reaches across a vast landscape of 70 years. This exhibition focuses on an enduring aspect of her career – drawing portraitures which provide a glimpse into the close relationships she shared with her friends through the intimacy and simplicity of pencil on paper.
Sterne’s subjects have included, among others, her husband Saul Steinberg, art critics Harold Rosenberg and Dore Ashton, and artists Elaine de Kooning and Joan Mitchell.
