New York City Circa 1960: Works From the Collection of Robert A. Ellison Jr.

Step into downtown Manhattan’s electrifying postwar art scene with “New York City Circa 1960,” a sprawling exhibition at Schoelkopf Gallery. Drawn from the collection of Robert A. Ellison Jr., the show gathers paintings and works on paper by 15 artists—including heavyweights like Elaine de Kooning, Bob Thompson and Milton Resnick—from the pivotal moment when abstraction, figuration and experimentation collided. Running through July 2, the free exhibit offers a vivid portrait of artistic camaraderie in midcentury New York.
