Salander-O'Reilly Galleries Hosts Multiple Exhibitions Featuring 20th Century American Artists in New York

Salander-O'Reilly Galleries at 20 East 79th Street in New York presented numerous exhibitions throughout 2004-2006, showcasing diverse American artistic styles often overlooked by art historical narratives favoring abstraction. The gallery featured works by Christopher Winter, whose Bavarian-themed pieces were described by the Wall Street Journal in 1998 as "one of the most notorious" collections, presented as a courtesy to mega-collector Asher Edelman. Willard Boepple's abstract sculptures were displayed through July 31, 2006, with the artist noting that such work has "the wonderful potential of catching people coming around a corner." Graham Nickson and Giorgio Cavallon both had painting exhibitions running through April 30, 2006, exploring figurative traditions. Additional shows included "Anthony Caro: Sculpture" at Artemis Greenberg Van Doren Gallery through December 27 and "Michael Steiner: Sculpture" at Salander-O'Reilly through January 3. Other venues like OK Harris Gallery at 383 West Broadway hosted exhibitions from March 25 to April 22, 2006, while the Ansonia Pharmacy Windows at 6th Avenue and 10th Street displayed works from March 14 to April 18, 2006. Gregory Amenoff's paintings were shown through October 25, 2004, and a September 8 to October 2, 2004 exhibition examined the painting process for representational artists. The gallery's programming highlighted mid-twentieth century American art's varied styles beyond mainstream abstraction.
