From the press release:

George McNeil (1908 - 1995) was a pioneer Abstract Expressionist and had over forty solo exhibitions during his lifetime.

The exhibition is comprised of a group of sixteen works that date from between 1957 and 1969. This period demonstrates an important transitional period for McNeil from his signature multi layered abstractions to a growing interest in figurative associations.
