Jewish Museum Adds Two Alex Bradley Cohen Paintings to Permanent Collection

The Jewish Museum in New York has acquired two paintings by Alex Bradley Cohen, marking the first works by this artist to enter the institution's holdings. The pieces, titled 'Parents #4' and 'Parents #1,' were created in 2022 using acrylic on canvas. These acquisitions were funded through the Milton and Miriam Handler Endowment Fund. Cohen, who resides and creates in Chicago, focuses on portraiture that depicts his family and friends, exploring themes of intimacy and personal identity. The museum notes that these works contribute to presenting diverse narratives related to Jewish identity within its collection.
