Jonathan Lasker Remembered by 21 Artists, Critics, and Friends
An exhibition showcasing Jonathan Lasker's artwork from 1987 to 2020 features contributions from 21 artists, critics, and friends who reflect on the legacy of the late painter alongside editor David Cohen. Lasker is recognized as one of the most provocative abstract artists to emerge from the tumultuous postmodern era of the 1980s. Reeves offers a humanized interpretation of abstraction. Five artists outline the fundamental principles of painting. The offspring of the 1960s express their maturation through their art. Le Tableau, curated by Joe Fyfe at Cheim & Read, will be on display until September 3.
