Description

Esteban Vicente's death in 2001 at the age of 97 marked the passing of one of the last surviving members of the first generation of New York School Abstract-Expressionist painters. He arrived in the United States in 1936, schooled in the old world academic tradition of his native Spain and fresh from a stay in 1920s Paris.
 
Yet his openness to new influences and to new friendships, including those with artists Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko, assured his crucial role in the evolution of Abstract-Expressionist dialogue in the 1940s and 50s New York. 
 
Exhibit will go on until November 6th, 2015.
