DEBORAH REMINGTON AT BORTOLAMI
Bortolami Gallery will host a solo show by Deborah Remington (b.1930, d. 2010) featuring paintings and large drawings from each of five decades of her practice. “It is the most comprehensive exhibition to date by Remington, a reevaluation of an artist whose biomorphic abstractions defied categorization during her lifetime and remain stridently unique today, over a decade since her passing.” Remington was a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and a Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant. Through June 12 at 39 Walker.
