African American Abstract Masters Exhibition at Anita Shapolsky Gallery
In honor of Black History Month, the Anita Shapolsky Gallery and Art Foundation on the Upper East Side is showcasing an exhibit called 'African American Abstract Masters.' Curated by Dr. Mary Anne Rose, the display includes works from influential artists such as Frank Bowling, Betty Blayton, and Ed Clark, among others. The exhibit aims to highlight significant contributions to abstract art by African American creators. A notable poster invites attendees to reflect on their familiarity with these artists, asking, "Do you know these people? Why not?" The exhibition will be open to the public until April 24.
