Don Nice's Early Works from the 1960s at Craig Starr Gallery

Craig Starr Gallery will present Don Nice: Early Works, 1963–68 from May to August 21, 2026. Organized with the artist's estate, the exhibition unites two bodies of work: larger-than-life American motifs based on labels and ads (first shown at Feigen + Herbert Gallery in 1963) and detailed renderings of everyday objects and consumer products. It also includes Nice's Object Boxes from 1964, first exhibited in 'The Box Show' at Byron Gallery in 1965. Nice, born in 1932, studied at Yale's Graduate School of Painting after apprenticing with Oskar Kokoschka in Europe. His work emerged in the wake of Abstract Expressionism.
