ACME Fine Art

An exhibition of paintings and works on paper titled: Lillian Orlowsky & William Freed: EMERGING at MID-CENTURY will open with a reception from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, 17 November 2012 at ACME Fine Art's 38 Newbury Street gallery in Boston. The exhibition has been curated by the Provincetown Art Association and Museum's Executive Director Christine McCarthy. 

With the intention of taking a fresh look at the body of work created by the two well-known New York and Provincetown based abstract expressionists, McCarthy focused on works in the artists' estates that have not been previously exhibited. As a result, in addition to important oil paintings dating from as early as the couple studied with Hans Hofmann; the exhibition will also include a series of large freely executed tempera on paper still-life abstractions, as well as a fascinating group of modern fabric designs from the 1940s and 1950s by Orlowsky. The exhibition is designed to coincide with a concurrent exhibition at ACME Fine Art of artwork by Myrna Harrison, who was a close friend of Freed and Orlowsky. Both exhibitions draw from the same mid-century post-Hofmann experiences of the artists.
