A portraitist in the age of abstraction and a working woman in the era of macho Formalism, Alice Neel bucked convention at every turn.

The body makes itself known in many ways in the works gathered here, the second in a series of group presentations related to our anniversary exhibition, 45 at 45. Including Nick Cave, Jimmie Durham, Sherin Guirguis, Tim Hawkinson, Sui Jianguo, Heather Gwen Martin, Jason Martin, Juan Uslé and John Zane Zappas -- the works offer a physical connection with the viewer, in an experience that moves beyond the visual, and into a space that incorporates one’s entire being.
