Sanford Wurmfeld's Color Visions Exhibition at Hunter College Times Square Gallery

exhibition · 2026-04-22

Sanford Wurmfeld's exhibition 'Color Visions 1966 – 2013' runs from February 15 to April 20, 2013, at Hunter College Times Square Gallery in New York City. The show features large-scale optical paintings with grid-based patterns that integrate primary and secondary hues, demonstrating his investigative approach to color. Wurmfeld, a leading geometric abstract painter, taught at Hunter College from 1967 to 2006, serving as art department chair from 1978. His work is informed by color theories from Leo Hurvich, Josef Albers, and Dorothea Jameson, resulting in a sequential modulation of color that impacts visual and emotional perception. Notably absent are his full-scale circular dioramas, which have been shown elsewhere but not in New York. The gallery is located at 450 West 41st Street, with contact number 212-772-4000.
