Eric Firestone Gallery is pleased to present Women Across America: 1945-1977, an exhibition that showcases connections between women across the country in the post-World War II period. This exhibition highlights the rich tradition of abstraction within the period across various mediums. Taking inspiration from William Gerdts’s sprawling Art Across America: Two Centuries of Regional Painting 1710-1920, the three-volume encyclopedia of art in the United States, this exhibition reimagines what an Americanist Art History of the postwar period might look like if told through women’s art. The show traces a transitional time for women within the art world, with figures such as Adaline Kent and Jeanne Reynal who forged their own paths in order to work as artists, painters like Pat Passlof and Helen Frankenthaler who fought for a place within the New York School, and artists who became outspoken in their feminism during the women’s movement like Miriam Schapiro and Nina Yankowitz. This exhibition furthers the gallery’s commitment to reexamining modern and contemporary art histories of the United States, especially championing underrecognized artists.

Eric Firestone Gallery is pleased to present Couples, an exhibition of work by 26 artist-partners. A throughline in the exhibition is artwork that visualizes component parts, distinct but coming together into a whole. This aesthetic becomes a metaphor for connection, partnership, and individuals belonging to a larger community and consciousness. Many of these abstract paintings and sculptures suggest the bridging of spaces between personhood, the digital world, and the cosmos.

Eric Firestone Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition Sari Dienes: Night Eyes, on view February 4 – March 21, 2026 at 40 Great Jones Street, NYC. The show is a survey of the groundbreaking experimental artist, born in Hungary in 1898, whose career links European Surrealism, American Neo-Dada, and Pop art. Sari Dienes (pron. SHAR-ee deens) is best known for her mixed media frottage paintings (painterly rubbings from textured surfaces) of rural and urban environments. Dienes’s foremost artistic belief was that raw materials and forms exist everywhere, and her goal was to see and reflect them. This attitude influenced her younger contemporaries and friends, including Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. Night Eyes is the gallery’s first solo exhibition of Dienes’s work since announcing representation in September 2025. It will include work made between 1935–70: early Surrealist paintings; mixed-media rubbings of New York City manhole covers, walls of Kyoto, and ancient petroglyphs; plaster collages; and assemblage sculptures.

Alix Vernet (b. Denver, CO, 1997) is an artist who explores, through her “street casts,” the histories and life cycles of public spaces and the built environment. She creates molds from the street and architectural facades of New York City, like the lintels of tenement buildings or letters from the facade of the Brooklyn Public Library, casting them into wall-mounted stoneware sculptures. Her work is often glazed in a metallic, silvery gray with a reflective finish. Everything She Touches, taking place on the gallery’s lower level, will showcase distinct movements from Vernet’s oeuvre, including ceramic casts of manhole covers, lifted urban surfaces, and a new series of foil rubbings.

Eric Firestone Gallery is pleased to announce its first solo exhibition of the internationally recognized ceramic artist Sana Musasama. The exhibition will be a dynamic installation of Musasama’s formative House series: vertically stacked ceramic sculptures, like abstracted small-scale temples, exploring multicultural connections to home and community.

The exhibition will be on view at the gallery’s 40 Great Jones Street location from January 15 through March 1. Susan Fortgang (b. New York, NY, 1944) is a painter who has been working in her SoHo loft since the early 1970s and is known for her highly impastoed gridded paintings. Over the past five decades, Fortgang has developed a singular artistic process and a deep oeuvre; however, this is notably the artist’s first solo exhibition.

Eric Firestone Gallery is pleased to present Spirit Keepers: Walter C Jackson, Marie Johnson-Calloway, and David MacDonald, an exhibition of three artists working in the Black radical tradition. The exhibition serves as a significant reintroduction in New York City of these artists, showcasing work from the 1970s-90s, a time when each of the artists responded to civil rights activism. They are united in their explorations of family history, African American experience, African heritage, and experimental combinations of materials.

Across the Pond: Contemporary Painting in London is a group exhibition of 11 UK-based artists, curated by Emma Fineman in collaboration with Eric Firestone Gallery.
