THOMAS NOZKOWSKI: PAINTINGS

Installed in the expanded 3rd floor gallery, this exhibition
traces Mrs. Landau's passion for this artist's original vision
and monumental intimacy. Beginning with a painting from
his first exhibition in 1979, the show covers three decades
of artistic investigation into abstraction as a desire to depict
the real world in terms of visual language.
