    Under the mentorship of Willem de Kooning in the early 1960s Saul White became convinced of the permanent viability of expressive abstraction, regardless of the dictates of fashion. In the ensuing decades, even though painting itself became anachronistic in the eyes of the art world, White continued to explore his chosen style of abstraction. This exhibition presented a small group of White’s work from 1980s and ’90s, selected in conjunction with the artist shortly before his death in May 2003.
