Contemporary Art: Graham Nickson @ Betty Cuningham Gallery New York


(Drivebycuriosity) -  - Manhattan`s Lower East Side is slowly degenerating into a party district with a legion of fast food places & other dives. But there are still some fine art galleries. Betty Cuningham Gallery on Rivington often shows museum quality art works.

 


The art displays now paintings by Graham Nickson. The exhibition is called "In Black and White".  (through October 15,2022   bettycuningham ). On top of this post you can see "Walkway" (1982, Charcoal on paper, 26 1/8 x 31 1/4 inches 66.4 x 79.4 cm) followed by Nexus (1984- 1994, Charcoal on paper, 57 x 66 inches).
