MUNICIPAL ART SOCIETY OF NEW YORK
A LIGHT IN THE CITY EXHIBIT
Now Showing Virtually!

The Municipal Art Society of New York (MAS) is delighted to introduce the latest exhibition in the Doris C. and Alan J. Freedman Gallery: a collection of paintings by artist Rick Secen. Capturing scenes of New York City life with a particular eye for the changing character of light, Secen’s art evokes the experience of the seasons in the five boroughs.

From the bright skies of spring and the enveloping rays of summer sun, to the sharp shadows of fall and the cool softness of winter light, A Light in the City depicts a year in the life of an ever-evolving metropolis. This exhibition is the first collection of paintings to be featured in the Freedman Gallery.

UPCOMING EXHIBITION:
SELECTIONS FROM AUSTRALIA'S WESTERN DESERT

FROM THE COLLECTION OF STEVE MARTIN & ANNE STRINGFIELD
On View September 12 - October 27

The National Arts Club is honored to host this dynamic exhibition of contemporary Indigenous Australian painting from the remote regions of Central and Western Australia. The six large works that make up this exhibition all spring from thousands of years of tradition, disconnected and uninfluenced from the outside world. Distinct from outsider art and not defined by chance affinities with western contemporary abstract art, these paintings stand as stories and narratives infused with an intense connection to the local landscape. On view will be significant works by Bill Whiskey Tjapaltjarri, Timo Hogan, Carlene West, Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri, and Doreen Reid Nakamarra.
