January 10 - April 1, 2017

For those interested in mid-century New York art outside of Abstract Expressionism, sure to visit NYU’s Grey Art Gallery before April 1, 2017. Inventing Downtown: Artist-Run Galleries in New York City, 1952-1965 explores the often chaotic art produced in that creatively-fertile setting. Seemingly without the constraints of the market, artists from Yoko Ono to Mark Di Suvero did pioneering work in sculpture, installation, performance and conceptual art — along with advancing the state of painting and more conventional forms. Inventing Downtown is curated by Melissa Rachleff, clinical associate professor in NYU’s Steinhardt School.
