A retrospect of yet another accomplished painter and poet too is currently on at New York’s Eric Firestone Gallery. 91-year-old accomplished artist and poet Sally Cook’s works are on display in the exhibition titled ‘Sally Cook. Where Fantasy Has Bloomed Painting And Poetry Since The 1960s.’ This is Sally’s first solo presentation in New York City since 1963. The exhibition brings forth a wide range of art created by the artist over the years — from her art dealing in Abstract Expressionist to that laden with geometric abstractions and symbols; from her figuration that resonates with the dreamy tableaux of Florine Stettheimer to the magic realism of Frida Kahlo, Cook’s indulgence and approach in abstraction, portraiture, still life, and poetry (she has been writing since the 1980s) is all brought together by Julie Reiter Greene with support from Robert Scalise, Director, University at Buffalo Art Galleries. The first part of the exhibition ‘Sally Cook: 1960–Present’was displayed virtually in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The exhibition is on till June 30.
