2008 Exhibits
June 12-July 31, 2008
 Falling and Floating: Paintings by Tom Weaver; Curated by Jo Yarrington, professor, Studio Art Program, Fairfield University
This exhibition features paintings on paper by Tom Weaver, Chair, Department of Art at Hunter College. Weaver's range of painterly means encodes subtle contradictions in his works which combine the "immediacy of touch" of "pointillist" drawing, glazing technique, blending, scumbling and dripping with "mechanized" devices for repetition, found wood blocks and decorative-pattern rollers. These combination assemblage images are not seamless but rather assert and question their own authority. The artist communicates states of introspection, absorption, isolation, revery and loss of control.
September 19-December 7
 A New Reality: Black-and-White Photography in Contemporary Art, an exhibition of 98 photographic works
The exhibition is derived from a major private collection of photography amassed by New Jersey residents Anne and Arthur Goldstein. A New Reality explores the continued use of black-and-white photography as a medium of visual and historical consequence. The exhibition also reflects the expanding technical and conceptual role of photography, emphasizing its recent adaptation to the complex and psychologically charged images and narratives desired by contemporary artists.
2009 Exhibits
January 22-March 8
Marilyn Cohen: Layers of Time and Memories, A retrospective of hand-dyed watercolor torn paper collage portraits from 1988-2006
Marilyn Cohen's work is a reflection of collage - layers of lives and families, images and memories. The colors and textures are like the colors and textures in each life. The layers of paper echo the layers of generations that create a family while she creates a celebration of life.
March 23-April 26
 Robert Vickrey: The Magic Of Realism
Capturing reflections of light, fleeting shadows, and beguiling figures, Robert Vickrey, N.A., (1926-) is one of America's most acclaimed realists. His poetical interpretations of childhood innocence and adults lost in the labyrinths of contemporary have been featured in nine Whitney Annuals and awarded gold medals by numerous art societies. His egg tempera works, created with a Renaissance sense of precisionist detail, are included in over 75 of the nation's leading art museums, several to be displayed in this national tour organized by the Walsh Art Gallery.
May 7-July 12
 Ernest Garthwaite: Wetlands:
A Spiritual Refrain
Always exploring new material within the wetlands series, since initiating his focus there in the 1980's, Garthwaite creates close-up compositions of these grassy areas for his latest environmental homily. These Asian-influenced landscape paintings, gestural abstractions of documented New England wetlands, are large scale works that project a vision of beauty and truth.
