Ruth Miller’s Enduring View: September 8–October 22, 2023
The New York Studio School presents a solo exhibition honoring the work of Ruth Miller (b. 1930), whose lifework is guided by a meditative and honest portrayal of the world and objects around her. Ruth Miller’s Enduring View spans more than fifty years of creative work, pairing Miller’s early paintings—which include rarely seen works from the artist’s time living in rural Pennsylvania during the 1960s—with recent still lifes and landscapes to explore the technical experimentation and succinct observations that characterize Miller’s oeuvre.
Concurrently with the exhibition, Grid Books has released Ruth Miller: Painted Presence, curated by the Tulsa-based artist and Miller’s former student, Mark Lewis. The collection features sixty full-color reproductions of Miller’s work and a compilation of essays from Eric Aho, Alix Bailey, Riley Brewster, Graham Nickson, and Karen Wilkin, among others. Together, the exhibition and the book speak to the lasting legacy and continued relevance of Miller’s half-century-plus career. Click here to learn more.

Stephen Antonakos Drawings: Geometry and Space: November 2, 2023–January 7, 2024
Opening reception: Thursday, November 2, 2023, 6–8pm ET
New York Studio School presents Stephen Antonakos Drawings: Geometry and Space. Curated by Karen Wilkin in close collaboration with the Stephen Antonakos Studio, the exhibition will highlight the life and drawings of Stephen Antonakos. Antonakos (1926–2013) defined his art as “real things in real spaces in the here and now.” The many directions Antonakos explored over nearly six decades are echoed in the variety and the sheer number of his works on paper—from early machine-stitched lines on canvas, to formal compositions with colored pencils, to experiments with collaging, cutting, folding, and crumpling. Antonakos’s drawings reveal the essence of his work. It can be argued that they constitute the most personal and fundamental aspect of his artmaking.
