Multiple Gallery Exhibitions Feature Abstract Painting Shows Across New York and Chicago

Multiple gallery exhibitions are currently on view across New York and Chicago. At the Renaissance Society in Chicago, a show runs through November 5. Skarstedt presents "Nice Weather" at both its uptown and Chelsea locations through April 16. Karma Books has extended its exhibition through August 30, while the Studio Museum in Harlem also hosts a show. A NoHo gallery and publisher features works from the 1990s, extended through August 30. Grid paintings that take serial risks are on display. Lennon, Weinberg presents "The Ghost in the Machine," and Zürcher Gallery shows "REVERIE." A Soho exhibition remains on view through Saturday, May 11. One artist's fourth show with their gallery continues through December 21. The exhibitions prompt questions about whether recent conversations on abstract painting miss the point, with one description noting color is liberated to function kinetically.
