Grey Art Gallery at NYU opens its digital window to the exhibition, Taking Shape: Abstration from the Arab World, 1950s ~ 1980s, along with a short film taken at the opening reception in January, 2020.
The Gallery also has a selection of their permanent collection Online. This collection is primarily composed of late nineteenth and twentieth century works. One of the collection’s particular strengths is American painting from the 1940s to the present, with works by well known artists such as Romare Bearden, Elaine de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Arshile Gorky, Adolph Gottlieb, Kenneth Noland, and Ad Reinhardt.
Another is the Abby Weed Grey Collection of Modern Asian and Middle Eastern Art—truly an unparalleled and unique resource—which includes some of the largest institutional holdings of Iranian, Indian, and Turkish modern art outside those countries.
