In 1972, Grytting moved to the Bowery in New York City, where she studied art at City College of New York. She was guided by her friend and mentor Jan Groth (1938-2022) who introduced her to the New York art scene. In addition to her art practice, Grytting was the art director of Fiction Magazine for over forty years, where she connected international writers and visual artists.

Selected museum exhibitions include The Vigeland Museum (Oslo, Norway), and Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum (Tromsø, Norway).

CHARLES HINMAN
Labradorite (2012)$48,000.00 -
Hinman's ‘Gems and Minerals’ series from 2012-13 continues an exploration started in the 1960s into the aesthetics of tension and the relationships between form, color, line, and space. Expanding beyond the limits of the canvas, Labradorite (2012) and Sardonyx (2013) exploit the surrounding wall to reflect colors hidden from plain view, continuing his innovative manipulation of form, perspective, and illusion.
Today, at 93 years-old, Charles Hinman is firmly in the lexicon of the most important geometric minimalist painters of the twentieth and twenty-first century.

Charles Hinman (b. 1932) is a New York Minimal painter who pioneered three-dimensional shaped canvas paintings through his innovative use of shadow, light, and shape with complex mathematical formulae. Born and raised in Syracuse, New York, Hinman holds his BFA from Syracuse University and taught at the Arts Student League of New York. In 1965, he joined the growing community of artists on the Bowery and moved into his studio and living space at 231A Bowery in the same building with artists Will Insley, David Diao, Tom Wesselmann, Frances Barth, Harvey Quaytman, and Max Gimblett, where Hinman resided for over fifty years. His art career began with a seminal group exhibition at Sidney Janis Gallery, and thereafter his first solo exhibition at Richard Feigen Gallery in 1964.
Charles Hinman's artwork is exhibited internationally and collected by major institutions and private collectors across the world. In Dallas, his work is in the prestigious Carl & Marilynn Thoma Foundation.

James Juthstrom (1925-2007) was an American artist who was born in the Bronx to a Finnish immigrant family. James Juthstrom studied at the Brooklyn Museum Art School under Bill Kienbusch (Modernist painter, 1914-1980) and Reuben Tam (American Landscape painter, 1916-1991).
Following his initial success in the 1950s, he traveled around the country, visiting the Hawaiian Islands, the mountains of Southern California, and the highlands of the Southeast. When he returned to New York in 1965, he leased the top floor of an abandoned, burnt out brownstone loft building in SoHo on Broome Street, where he lived and worked for 50 years creating paintings, drawings, etchings, and sculpture ranging from abstract to figurative. His artwork was exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum (1955, 1956, 1958, 1960), the Whitney Museum of American Art (1956), Detroit Institute of Arts (1957), Gallery G (1957), Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (1959, 1960, 1963, 1967), and The Bronx Museum (1977), among others. Although he had opportunities for gallery representation, he lived on an electrician’s salary and was driven purely by an instinctive drive towards self-expression, creating work in the privacy of his loft.

-
For over four decades, Simmons has created paintings, works on paper, and assemblage informed by cross-cultural history and spirituality embedded within indigenous and African cultures. As the founder of the artistic movement Neo-African Abstract Expressionism, the artist seamlessly integrates traditional African motifs, textiles, and markings with gestural symbols reclaimed from modernism. Simmons’ mixed media collages, like Kubakingdom (2016) embrace not only differences across space but also speak to the many layers that comprise the artist’s own identity as well as the complex and multiplicitous history of black diaspora.
Kubakingdom (2016) is also the subject of one of Simmons' three large-scale public art murals in Philadelphia completed in partnership with Mural Arts Philadelphia.

Boris Lurie
-
Boris Lurie's oeuvre is often characterized by its critique of consumerism, imperialism, sexism, and war; however, the presented works reveal a softer side to the artist. Although born from darker memories, the women depicted in these paintings are rendered as expressive, abstracted forms that emphasize the organic beauty of the human body. Despite the horrors that Lurie endured during his life – including the loss of his family and childhood to the Holocaust – his artworks have taken on a renewed sense of hope. They depict pain, not as suffering, but as healing symbols of survival and the perseverance of humanity.

Boris Lurie (1924-2008) was born in Leningrad, Russia, and grew up in Riga, Latvia. At the age of sixteen, he was taken prisoner by the Nazis and imprisoned for a period of four years at Buchenwald and other concentration camps. After his liberation, Lurie remained in Germany for a year and worked for the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps. He moved to New York City in 1946 and began his art career there. From 1954 to 1955 he lived and worked in Paris. During his lifetime, Lurie’s NO!art was largely rejected by art critics, museums, and collectors, and in the past decade has finally received renewed appreciation and accolades due to the work of the Boris Lurie Art Foundation.
Boris Lurie’s artwork is exhibited internationally and has been included in group exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York (NY), Grey Art Museum, New York (NY), Jewish Museum, New York (NY), Prada Foundation, Venice (Italy). Recently, Boris Lurie has had solo exhibitions at Museo Judio de Buenos Aires (Argentina), The Jewish Museum of São Paulo (Brazil), Ludwig Museum, Budapest (Hungary), Museo Nacional de las Culturas del Mundo, Mexico City (Mexico), Museo De Art Contemporáneo, Santiago (Chile), Museum of Jewish Heritage, New York (NY), and many others.

gerhardt liebmann

"In all the works there is a thread, I think, that ties them together. Beyond the mere emphasis on space, that is. Even though I seldom use the figure of man, it is man which is my theme: his loneliness, his innocence in the hands of God, his numbers overwhelming the earth.”
