Robert Arneson, Lynn Chadwick, Spartacus Chetwynd and More Open Summer Shows in NYC Today

ROBERT ARNESON: EARLY WORK
537 West 20th Street
July 8 - August 9
Opening reception: Monday, July 8, 6 - 8 PM

Closely associated with the countercultural California Funk movement of the 1960s, Robert Arneson was integral in elevating ceramics from mere craft to a valid form of aesthetic expression. This exhibition brings together a grouping of Arneson's seldom seen early works that simultaneously demonstrates the genesis of his unique artistic vocabulary and underscores his tremendous influence on generations of artists working in clay.
