On View | FRESH PAINT: Rudolf Stingel

The Parrish Art Museum and The FLAG Art Foundation continue their FRESH PAINT collaboration with a new work by the artist Rudolf Stingel (American, b. Italy, 1956). At the Parrish, Stingel presents Untitled (2025), a large-scale, interactive installation in the Museum’s Interior Lobby, made from a series of Celotex panels—aluminum-faced foam insulation boards—which invite visitors to draw into the work’s surface and leave behind marks and impressions of their own designs.

On View | Nina Yankowitz: In the Out/Out the In

Organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, FL, Nina Yankowitz: In the Out/Out the In traces the unconventional trajectories of Yankowitz’s career, beginning with her early unstretched canvases that blur the line between painting, sculpture, and textiles and her Dilated Grain Readings (1973–7), abstract paintings that translate her synesthetic experiences of sound and color into visual forms. The presentation of Nina Yankowitz: In the Out/Out the In at the Parrish also recognizes Yankowitz’s importance to Long Island’s East End art community.

On View | Endless Limits: The Work of James Howell, 1962–2014

This exhibition presents the first-ever career retrospective of American artist James Howell (1935–2014), best known for his minimalist paintings that explore the vast tonal range of the color gray. In the later decades of his life, he produced hundreds of paintings, prints, and drawings that explore the subtlety and scope of the neutral shade, as well as its relationship to light and perception of space.
