exhibition · 2026-04-23

Salander O'Reilly Galleries presented an exhibition of works by Peter Agostini from June 1, 2006 to June 23, 2006 at their location at 20 East 79th Street in New York City. The show highlighted Agostini's contributions to American art during the mid-twentieth century, a period that saw diverse artistic styles emerge beyond the dominant narrative of abstraction. While critical attention often favored abstract expressionism, this exhibition brought focus to artists like Agostini whose achievements were sometimes overlooked. The gallery's contact number was 212-879-6606. The exhibition period spanned three weeks in early summer 2006, providing New York audiences with an opportunity to reassess Agostini's place in American art history. The show was documented on artcritical.com, which maintains an archive of Agostini-related content. This presentation occurred during a time when art historical reassessments were bringing renewed attention to mid-century American artists working outside the abstract expressionist mainstream.
