Join the New York Academy of Art for a conversation between Neil Jenney and author and critic Linda Yablonsky. The pair will discuss how the artist has challenged models of taste and subject matter in the three key phases of his career—Bad Paintings (1969–70), Good Paintings (1971–2015), and New Good Paintings (2015–)—as well as his commitment to exploring, and ultimately transcending, realism as both style and philosophy. Jenney will be honored at the Tribeca Ball 2024 on April 1.

Tour

American Pastoral

Thursday, March 5, 2020, 6:30pm
Gagosian, Britannia Street, London

Join Gagosian for a tour of the group exhibition American Pastoral. The show juxtaposes modern and contemporary works with historical American landscapes ranging from Albert Bierstadt’s depiction of the sublime in Sunset over the River (1877) to Edward Hopper’s tranquil seaside scene, Gloucester Harbor (1926). Gagosian’s Alice Godwin will focus on a select grouping of exhibited works that seek to challenge the idealized vision of the American Dream that has long been a rich topic of inquiry for artists in the United States. To attend the free event, RSVP to londontours@gagosian.com. Space is limited.
