Hi Aaron,
Sharing these for the hell of it - all these paintings are oils from the 60s by Paula Brunner Abelow. Would make for a concise little
show...
Anyhow, thought you might dig it.
Take care and speak soon!

Sneak this with those sculptures in mission?

An artist we’ve worked with who is also a curator in his own right and a friend reached out with a body of work by his grandmother – incredible, simple, striped paintings made in the sixties. We’d seen Paula Brunner Abelow’s work before hung alongside Joshua Abelow and his sister Tisch Abelow. This suite of works was striking, with a palette all its own.
Something about them made us think about the work of another artist we’d recently met with: Renée Gertler. Specifically her sculptures: strange, charmed little monochromatic geometries, they’d been on our mind since we showed a work in a mini-exhibition on an office desk.
Made fifty years apart, there was a ring to the pairing that we could all agree with.
Sometimes it’s as easy as that.
