In this spring season of rejuvenation and reemergence, we have chosen to pull works from deeper parts of our collection. This exhibition explores watercolors and mixed media works that have never been displayed here at the foundation; some never exhibited at all during Leo Rabkin’s extensive career. Alongside some of the vibrant works in our core collection that you have come to recognize, you will be surprised to discover swampy, watery, ethereal spring-like works, that have been previously overlooked for Leo’s opaque and glowing works, with densely packed pigments. The rigidity and clarity of Leo’s triangles and acrylic sculptures paired with the fluidity of watercolors is fascinating. He was creating these things simultaneously, and they somehow exist together harmoniously. Where we may have initially seen battling bodies of work, we can now see threads that tie a life’s work together. Within our collection of 2,400 works, there is still much to be discovered, and we have come to embrace unanswered questions and this exploratory phase we are in. In the spirit of Leo and the season, we uncover, explore, and experiment. Join us!
