THOMAS NOZKOWSKI PAINTINGS Installed in the expanded 3rd floor gallery, this exhibition traces Mrs. Landau’s passion for this artist’s original vision and monumental intimacy. Beginning with a painting from his first exhibition in 1979, the show covers three decades of artistic investigation into abstraction as a desire to depict the real world in terms of visual language.
