Marlborough Gallery - Avigdor Arikha: Works from the Estate

This show will be the first New York exhibition of works from the artist’s estate and will consist of approximately 56 works, including 12 oils on canvas and 16 pastels along with watercolors, drawings, and a few rare lithographs. These works have been in the artist’s collection and many have never before been exhibited. The depictions, quintessentially Arikha, are composed from his personal canon of favored subjects, including still lifes, self-portraits, and portraits of his wife, the poet Anne Atik; as always combining intense observation with an inherent refinement, creating a penetrating, quiet beauty.
