Heinz Mack, The Garden of Eden at Sperone Westwater

Post-war German ZERO group leader Heinz Mack carries his decades-long interest in color right up to his recent work, including this nearly 20-foot long abstract painting at Sperone Westwater on the Lower East Side. Titled ‘The Garden of Eden (Chromatic Constellation),’ Mack’s colors conjure verdant earth and the colors of the hot sun and cool night. (On view through March 25th.)
