On March 21, an opening reception was held for “Shimon Okshteyn: The Artists Estate/Part 1: There Are Many Forms But Few Classics,” the inaugural exhibition at Black & White Gallery/Project Space in Southampton Village. The show features work curated from the estate that was created by Okshteyn from 1976 to 2019. This is the first presentation of Okshteyn’s work since the artist’s death in 2020. Featuring 21 works, the exhibition traces Okshteyn’s artistic evolution, from his early cityscapes and figurative paintings to his iconic black and white graphite paintings and late vibrant abstract landscapes.
The show runs through May 17 at the gallery, which is at 4 North Main Street in Southampton.
