Van Doren Waxer, New York
October 7 – 24, 2020

A special presentation of six canvases installed at Van Doren Waxter and exhibited at the gallery’s virtual stand in Frieze Viewing Room. These paintings were made in New York City by Sterne in her 70s between 1985, the year she was celebrated in a survey spanning four decades at Queens Museum, Queens, New York, and 1989. The works evince her ongoing interests in the universality of signs and symbolism and in perspectival space and light. The period later led to a more meditative mode of drawing in which dense, intricate organic abstractions took on a more central role in her practice.
