Lennart Anderson, who passed away in 2015, maintained a daily studio practice but left behind a limited body of work. His paintings, celebrated for their tonal subtlety, included classical idylls, street scenes, portraits, and still lifes, which he repeatedly revised over decades. In his final years, Anderson coped with macular degeneration. James Esber has displayed flags above his Williamsburg home on Grand Street, with recent ones encouraging voting and others offering witty subversions. Brenda Zlamany's double-sided masked work is on view atop Store for Rent Gallery through April 9. Laura Karetzky's painting Toast (2019), depicting a family around a Hanukkah menorah captured via phone reflection, was featured in the virtual 2020 New York Studio School Alumni Exhibition. A chapel on Court Street hosted prayers for Donald Trump's defeat. New Yorkers typically visit air-conditioned museums in summer and rush to gallery openings after Labor Day, but now timed tickets are available for previously closed museums, including exhibitions like Donald Judd's. Lennart Anderson's work is on view in Tribeca through May 15.
