“Ed Clark: A Survey”

Now in his nineties, Ed Clark is one of the few living links to midcentury New York’s heyday as the crucible of AbEx and Lyrical Abstraction. This selection of paintings, spanning a period from the early-’70s to the ’00s, features stately compositions awash in majestic passages of color that have been poured onto the canvas before being pushed around with a broom. They recall a moment when the stakes in art were much higher than money.
