The group show at Lennon, Weinberg, Inc. is nicely done.
Norbert Prangenberg is showing at Betty Cuningham. Known primarily as a sculptor, these paintings “are all small, ranging from 10 x 8 inches to approximately 27 x 20 inches. Prangenberg paints on a variety of surfaces: cardboard, wood, metal, and occasionally canvas, often allowing a portion of the foundation or ground to peak through the paint. The artist uses brushstrokes, finger marks, varying densities of paint and intensities of color resulting in a vibrant tactile surface. And to anchor the thickly impastoed surface, Prangenberg introduces either a simple, non-narrative geometric form, or a picture within a picture, a small area of intense color that contrasts to the larger painting.”
Lucio Fontana is the inaugural exhibition at Marianne Boesky‘s new Upper East Side Gallery. It closes Saturday.
