The exhibition features paintings and sculpture by Olitski, focusing on a major phase of the artist's development during the critical period of the sixties and early seventies. Olitski made his first stain paintings in the early sixties and during the spring of 1964 he developed the spray painting technique which which he is most closely identified. It was through these stained and sprayed canvases of the sixties that he redefined for contemporary painting the relationship between surface and support, color and field.
