This is the fourth exhibition in The New Museum’s “New Work/New York” series. The six artists included here have not had extensive gallery or museum exposure to date, nor have they yet received critical approbation. Because much of the work we show comes from outside New York, we feel that this ongoing exhibition series provides a special forum for artists of our own milieu: it is therefore extremely important to us that the Western Association of Art Museums has provided a welcome opportunity to share the work of these artists with organizations outside New York by circulating “New Work/New York” for the first time.
