The Flinn Gallery will hold its final exhibit for the 2017-18 season. “Art Students League Revisited” will open Thursday, May 3 at 6 p.m., with a Cocktail Opening Reception.
Ever wondered what do renowned artists; O’Keeffe, Pollock, Rothko, Nevelson and Ai Weiwei have in common? You will be surprised to find out that apart from being famous and successful, they were all trained and taught at the Arts Students League of New York. The league, which was founded in 1875 by a group of artists, has ever since been a critical instrument in shaping America’s fine arts and continues to remain a legendary community of artists.
The exhibition includes diverse works of eight artists at the League and will feature sculpture, prints and paintings.
Complementing a similar popular exhibit ten years ago, this exhibit seeks to highlight several current League artists and their varied and interesting work. The artists are award winners at the Art Students League.
The artists have been selected by curators Linda Butler and York Baker. The result is an assemblage of artworks that are diverse but also complementary to each other.
The event is free and open to the public. Flinn Gallery is located at Greenwich Library, 101 West Putnam Ave. For more information, contact 201-580-0259 or karen@azestforlife.com or visit flinngallery.com
