Alfonso Ossorio: Line and Lineage

About this event

Through a focused selection of works and archival materials, Alfonso Ossorio: Line and Lineage explores the recurrent subjects, material experimentation, and development of line in prints, drawings, and wax-resist paintings by Alfonso Ossorio (1916–1990). Born in the Philippines, Ossorio studied art history at Harvard and shortly after moved to New York City, becoming an influential figure in the post–World War II American avant-garde. Showcasing works that chart both continuities and innovations across his six-decade practice, the exhibition positions Ossorio in dialogue with the artists he influenced, learned from, and inspired.
