exhibition · 2026-04-22

The Luise Ross Gallery in New York City is hosting Glenn Goldberg's exhibition titled 'Welcome,' which displays a variety of paintings, sculptures, wall pieces, and works on paper created between the early 1990s and 2009. This exhibition runs from March 26 to May 23, 2009, at 511 West 25th Street. Goldberg’s romantic style stands in contrast to modern trends, emphasizing that art should guide viewers toward deeper meaning. Influenced by Paul Klee, Persian miniatures, and Richard Pousette-Dart, the exhibition features delicate imagery of bird-like figures and organic shapes. Works such as 'Blanket' and 'Bloomer' evoke themes of safety, showcasing Goldberg’s naive quality and inspired romanticism that defies strict classification.
