The 1980s

Garth Greenan Gallery is pleased to announce Gladys Nilsson: The 1980s, an exhibition of paintings at 545 West 20th Street. Opening on Thursday, January 12, 2017, the exhibition features twelve of the artist’s densely-layered, intricately detailed works, most of which have never before been exhibited.

The exhibition focuses on a series of monumentally-scaled watercolors—Nilsson’s preferred medium—all of which were created between 1984 and 1987. In each of them, a flowing, sinuous line is as often her subject as the frieze-like grouping of distorted figures or the brightly hued patterns of their surroundings.
