Milton Resnick's Abstract Expressionist Legacy Reexamined at Mana Contemporary Through August 1
At Mana Contemporary in Jersey City, there's an important exhibition highlighting Milton Resnick’s often overlooked role in Abstract Expressionism, which is open until August 1. His vibrant artwork has been compared to a nuclear-age Monet for its powerful energy that seems to leap off the canvas and has been displayed across various venues in New York. A memorial service honoring Resnick occurred at the College of Staten Island on November 18, following a tribute at St. Marks in the Bowery. His pieces were previously showcased at Cheim & Read until October 29, marking a significant shift in Abstract Expressionism. Resnick’s works were also featured at the New York Studio School from February 17 to May 7, 2005, and he has been documented by Artcritical since 2004.
