Al Held: Paintings and Drawings Across Two Venues

Al Held's paintings and drawings are currently on view in Philadelphia, PA and Purchase, NY. The artist is also the subject of a second solo show at Loretta Howard Gallery, following a review of his 2013 debut there. A group exhibition titled "Planet X" is on view in Williamsburg through April 21. Paintings of astonishing variety are on display through April 20. A book is noted that will change how familiar art is perceived. The interplay of colors and contrasting directions endows open spaces with specific movements, with cinematic cropping adding implied drama. Robert Miller Gallery in New York hosted an exhibition from November 20, 2003 to January 3, 2004, showcasing Held's grandiosity and technical finesse at colossal scale.
