Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects and Martha Henry, Inc. present Bob Thompson Drawings, an exhibition of drawings by Bob Thompson (1937-1966) that date from the late 1950s to the mid 1960s and includes Thompson’s last known work, a large drawing in oil paint on canvas after Titian.

On view are more than 20 works on paper representing Thompson’s favorite themes executed in a variety of mediums including ink, charcoal, pastel, oil and watercolor. The show covers the artist’s full career, beginning in 1958 in Provincetown, MA to his premature death in 1966 in Rome, Italy. All of the drawings are from private collections, and most of them have never been seen in public. We are pleased to present the first comprehensive exhibition in over 35 years devoted to Bob Thompson’s drawings in SHFAP’s new Lower East Side gallery located around the corner from Thompson’s former Clinton and Rivington Street studios.

Bob Thompson Drawings is co-produced by steven harvey fine art projects and Martha Henry, Inc. An illustrated catalog with text by Hettie Jones is available.
