This event has ended.

Westwood Gallery, NYC in collaboration with Boris Lurie Art Foundation presents an exhibition of paintings, drawings, photomontage and sculpture by Boris Lurie (1924-2008), co-founder of the NO!art movement. The exhibition includes 40 works of art which define early influences leading to Lurie’s expression against the celebrated consumerism of Pop and Abstract Expressionism. Accompanied by a catalogue, the exhibition comprises the first solo early retrospective of this fascinating artist since his death in 2008. NO!art began in 1959, co-founded by artists Sam Goodman (1919-1967) and Stanley Fisher (1926-1980).

NO!art was largely rejected by art critics, museums and collectors, until the artists and artwork of NO!art became more understood and accepted in the art world. In the early post-war period, artwork by NO!art artists evoked negative reactions from viewers who were disturbed by the imagery or connotation they perceived. Whereas, Lurie and the NO!art artists were more concerned with freedom to express highly charged imagery.
