Frye Salon + Jonathan Lasker

Edited by Jamilee Lacy

Since the late 1970s, Jonathan Lasker has plumbed the formal elements of painting to reimagine its possibilities. This compact book captures Frye Salon + Jonathan Lasker—an unlikely pairing of the artist’s abstract works with the Frye Art Museum’s collection of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century paintings. In this curatorial intervention, Lasker’s vibrant, evocatively titled compositions open unexpected conversations across time, style, and painterly intent. 

The publication includes photographs of the exhibition, as well as a foreword by collector Judy Greenstein, an essay by director Jamilee Lacy discussing the exhibition in the context of Lasker’s overall practice, and an interview between the artist and Lacy.
