Acrylic on canvas

Price Upon Request
-
William Perehudoff (1918–2013) was a seminal figure in Canadian modernism, celebrated for his color field paintings. Trained under Amédée Ozenfant, his participation in the Emma Lake Artists’ Workshops throughout the 1960s brought him into contact with figures like Kenneth Noland and Clement Greenberg, whose ideas on non-objective abstraction had a marked influence on the artist’s practice. In the 1980s, Perehudoff evolved from hard-edge geometric forms to an organic technique combining delicate paint washes with saturated strokes to produce layered saturated surfaces. His work is held in major collections including the National Gallery of Canada, Art Gallery of Ontario, Montréal Museum of Fine Arts, the Glenbow-Alberta Institute, and the Canada Council Art Bank.

Kathleen Jacobs (b. 1958) is an American artist known for her meditative abstractions that fuses natural processes with minimalist aesthetics. Her distinctive practice involves wrapping raw linen or canvas around tree trunks and leaving them exposed to the elements for months or years, allowing the environment and its element to imprint its textures upon the material. Influenced by Taoist philosophy and her studies in Chinese calligraphy, Jacobs’ work explores the subtle interplay between human intent and nature’s imprint. She has exhibited internationally, with notable solo exhibitions at the Aspen Art Museum, Galerie Karsten Greve, Fergus McCaffrey Gallery, and The Bonnier Gallery.

From 1957 to 1962, he co-ran the influential Brata Gallery in Manhattan, showcasing leading contemporary artists such as Ed Clarke and Yayoi Kusama. Krushenick’s work is held in over sixty major museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Stedelijk Museum, the Walker Art Center, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Lilian Thomas Burwell (b. 1927) is an American artist known for merging painting and sculpture into fluid, organic forms. Emerging in the 1960s with bold, abstract compositions, she later developed a sculptural approach in the 1980s—carving and shaping her canvases to echo the movement of petals, vines, and terrain. Her luminous works erode the boundaries between surface and space while retaining a sense of visual lightness. Burwell’s art is held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Phillips Collection, and the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Cleve Gray (1918–2004) was an American abstract painter celebrated for his radiant, large-scale works that blend fields of color with expressive, calligraphic gestures. Trained in postwar Paris with Jacques Villon and André Lhote and later influenced by Abstract Expressionism and East Asian art, Gray developed a distinctive style using techniques which included pouring and sponging to evoke both stillness and intensity. His most acclaimed works emerged in the late 1960s and 1970s, shaped in part by his friendship with Barnett Newman. Gray’s work is held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, among others.

Joe Overstreet
Untitled, 1978
Acrylic on canvas
60 × 92 in.
Price Upon Request
-
Joe Overstreet (1933-2019) was an American abstract painter and activist whose work fused formal innovation with deep social engagement. Emerging from the Bay Area’s Beat scene and later settling in New York, he developed a bold visual language rooted in Abstract Expressionism, jazz, and African-American history. His paintings often responded directly to the Civil Rights movement, while his experiments with poured and peeled acrylics in the 1970s and 1980s pushed the boundaries of non-representational painting. A co-founder of Kenkeleba House, Overstreet was also a tireless advocate for artists of color. His work is held in major collections including the Brooklyn Museum and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and was recently the subject of a major retrospective at the Menil Collection, which closed on 13 July 2025.

Price Upon Request
-
Yuka Kashihara (b. 1980) is a Japanese-born, German-based artist whose luminous landscapes merge real and imagined spaces, reflecting a deep engagement with memory and geography. Drawing from both nihonga and Western painting traditions, she creates ethereal, iridescent surfaces through delicate layers of oil and tempera. Her otherworldly scenes—featuring recurring motifs like caves, lakes, and mountains—explore the emotional and spatial distances between Japan and Germany, and the internal sense of dislocation that comes with living abroad. Kashihara is represented by the venerable Acquavella Galleries, with a solo exhibition forthcoming in the spring of 2026.

Perle Fine
A Criss Cross of Currents #1, 1970
Oil on canvas
54 x 74 in.
Price Upon Request
-
Perle Fine (1905–1988) was a pioneering Abstract Expressionist whose five-decade career spanned multiple modes of abstraction. A student of Hans Hofmann and peer to Lee Krasner and Louise Nevelson, she was an early champion of nonobjective art and exhibited with the influential Betty Parsons Gallery alongside Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. While her brushwork grew looser and more expressive over time, she remained known for her rhythmic use of geometry, color, and line. In her final body of work, the Accordment series, she fully embraced a grid-like aesthetic. Her work is held in numerous collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Brooklyn Museum.
