Lincoln Glenn Gallery Features Exhibition of New York Scenes
LARCHMONT, NEW YORK (SEPTEMBER 16, 2022) – Lincoln Glenn Gallery is excited to announce The City That Never Sleeps, a survey of American Art depicting scenes of New York City. The exhibition will be on view December 10 – January 28, with an opening reception scheduled for Saturday, December 10 from 6pm-9pm ET.
This marks the gallery’s first exhibition of pre-war American Art after two consecutive one-person exhibitions for rediscovered abstract expressionists of the mid-20th century. Since the construction of the Tenth Street Studio Building in 1857, New York has effectively been the center of the art world in the United States. For over 150 years, artists and important galleries have relentlessly flocked to The Big Apple for educational opportunities, artistic inspiration, and community.
Chronologically, the exhibition begins with Hudson River School views by Francis Augustus Silva and William Rickarby Miller of New York Harbor and Staten Island, respectively. The show moves onto the Gilded Age, where the early Jewish-American artist Hermann Hyneman is represented. Ashcan examples by William Glackens, Jerome Myers, and Guy Pene du Bois add to the impression of an ever-bustling and electrifying urban center. The highlight of the exhibition is a large wintry street scene of Hudson Street in the Tribeca neighborhood by the impressionist Guy Wiggins. The circa 1932 painting was originally in the inventory of the Grand Central Art Gallery and portrays the Art Deco tower of the Western Union Building, in addition to the commercial warehouse of The Paul R. Dillon Company, one of the largest of the wholesale dealers of eggs and butter in the region. Gritty works by WPA artists Bertram Hartman and William Sharp round out the later years of the Great Depression, before giving light to a wonderful rooftop view by Herman Rose, which was detailed in a 1955 ArtNews article written by Fairfield Porter.
