LOUISE FISHMAN: always stand ajar at Van Doren Waxter presents the late artist’s works from her final two decades, influenced by American poets Emily Dickinson and Wallace Stevens. Known for her bold, physical approach to abstraction, Fishman fused gesture with identity, drawing on her life as a Jewish lesbian and her connections to poets and activists. This exhibition emphasizes her belief in painting as both personal and linguistic, where brushstrokes act as extensions of thought and self.
