BARBARA GROSSMAN

Patterning Women

July 11 - 29, 2023

Opening Reception: Thursday, July 13, 2023, 5-8pm
Artist will be present Saturdays 2-6pm

Bowery Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of the recent paintings and oil stick drawings by Barbara Grossman.

Grossman’s imagery is rich with luminous colors, shifting spaces and complex patterns that interweave with the women who inhabit interiors. Their activity seems to be one involved with music, singing and sometimes reading. In the current catalogue that accompanies the exhibition, the artist and writer John Goodrich says, “The artist's spaces are rife with contradictions. Floors become backgrounds, distant forms feel proximate, while frontal, tipped-up elements direct us into the depths.”

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
