Artforum Must See: American Realism Today
September 7, 2024
Artforum has named Venus Over Manhattan’s upcoming exhibition American Realism Today a “Must See.” On September 18, Venus Over Manhattan will open American Realism Today: Robert Lobe and Neil Jenney, featuring a selection of both early and recent works by two of the most influential artists of the American Realism movement. Lobe and Jenney first met in New York City in 1967, and for more than 50 years, they have pursued their distinct artistic visions, shaped by and in contrast to the prevailing movements, trends, and styles of the city’s art scene.
Opening September 18, the forthcoming presentation at Venus Over Manhattan offers a unique opportunity to see their work together again and consider their profound impact on the trajectory of American art. The exhibition will remain on view through November 9 at the gallery’s location at 55 Great Jones Street.
