Jon Schueler: Women in the Sky (1960s)

17 November - 23 December 2016
Berry Campbell Gallery is pleased to present 19 paintings and works on paper by Abstract Expressionist Jon Schueler (Milwaukee, 1916-1992). Known for his ethereal and abstracted paintings of the sky, Berry Campbell has curated an exhibition of rarely seen figurative works from the 1960s. Many of these paintings have not been on view since an exhibition at the Maryland Institute, Baltimore in 1967. Schueler himself described these paintings as "woman emerging from landscape" and as we call them "women in the sky." Please join us in celebration of Jon Schueler and his "women in the sky" paintings at Berry Campbell in Chelsea on Thursday, November 17 from 6 to 8pm.  The exhibition will run through December 23, 2016.
