George McNeil Exhibition
Katharina Rich Perlow Gallery
This event has ended.
McNeil’s work in the 1970’s and 1980’s abandoned its previous non-objectivity and adopted a Neo-Expressionist creed with explosive force. The works on view investigate the thrill of contemporary urban life and values, often imbued with tension and ambiguity. These enigmatic compositions rebel against the highly intellectualized abstract art of the 1960’s, celebrating counterculture and the friction it created. In these paintings, pink and green hair and reeling expressions convey the incredible dynamism of punk rock, graffiti and the disco era of New York City.
