2. Hanukkah Party Celebrating “Judith Seligson: Drawing the Line” at Galerie Mourlot
At age 66, Judith Seligson is enjoying her largest solo show (on view through January 22) to date of her colorful geometric abstractions. The 50 recent paintings on view, however, are among her smallest works, some as minute as one or two inches across.
The artist considers this a feminist statement: “Men were making paintings that were physically overpowering,” Seligson said in her artist’s statement. “Why should the line between painting and not-painting (or not-so-great paintings) be drawn according to size?”
On the fourth night of Hannukah (which starts Christmas Eve and ends New Year’s Day this year), the gallery will host a party for Seligson replete with latkes, libations, and a menorah lighting.
Location: Galerie Mourlot, 16 East 79th Street, Second Floor
Price: Free
Time: 6:00 p.m.–8:30 p.m.
