Golden Artists Colors has announced its acquisition of Williamsburg Handmade Oil Colors, a brand created by the late artist Carl Plansky. Plansky, who passed away from a heart attack during his "Divas" exhibition at the New York Studio School, was a significant influence in the art community. To honor this new collaboration, the Sam & Adele Golden Gallery in New Berlin, NY, is presenting an exhibition celebrating Plansky and notable artists such as Milton Resnick and Pat Passlof. Curated by Jim Walsh, the showcase will remain open to the public until November 20.
