Remembering Henry

Henry Geldzahler, former Curator of Contemporary Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and NYC Commissioner of Cultural Affairs, fostered an unusual spirit of community amongst young modernist artists in NYC during the 1970's & 80's. As I hear it, Henry was tireless and generous with his energy, often shared on a summer evening at his home in the Hamptons.


We have shown three of these artists over the years: Stephen Hannock, Tom Slaughter, and Ray Charles White. Scott Kilgour with join them to complete "the crew" for our summer show, "Remembering Henry", July 6 - 31.

Get ready for a trip down an artistic lane full of anecdotes, recognitions, and contemporary works created by these artists, hand-picked by Henry G. in his days of recognizing artists who "make it new". This will be a celebration worth the trip.
