Shirley Goldfarb in "Americans in Paris" at New York University's Grey Art Museum
Loretta Howard Gallery is pleased to present a group of 1960s oil paintings on paper by Shirley Goldfarb. These small format works were tipical of her studio practice, often used as studies for large scale paintings.
Following World War II, hundreds of artists from the United States flocked to the City of Light, which for centuries had been heralded as an artistic mecca and international cultural capital. Americans in Paris explores a vibrant community of expatriates who lived in France during the post war period.
