American artist Adolph Gottlieb was a founding member of the “New York Artist Painters” in the 1940s. The group of abstract painters included Mark Rothko, George Constant and John Graham.
Gottlieb’s Petaloid-Negative sculpture, with its interplay of positive and negative shapes, enhances its surroundings at the Nassau County Museum of Art. The sculpture is on extended loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
