This event has ended.

CUE Art Foundation presents Harmonies, an exhibition of new paintings by New York-based artist Marilyn Lerner, curated by Deborah Kass. The exhibition is comprised of a series of vibrant, geometric abstract paintings on wooden panels and shaped supports. These nuanced works are informed by Lerner’s wide-ranging travels, as well as her fascination with music, particularly Algerian Raï folk music. Created over the past two years, the paintings in this exhibition are the latest embodiment of a singular, rigorous practice—an exploration of color and form that Lerner has pursued for decades.
