Thank you for this excellent review of Milton Resnicks’s work. I have had the honor of restoring a number of Resnick’s paintings for this exhibition, and consequently spent months experiencing them on an intimate, topographical level. Each is a journey into a fascinating landscape, and rather than leave them feeling morose, I always left reluctantly and looked forward to returning. I had little knowledge of Resnick’s life when I began cleaning and treating the work, but found the pieces resonated strongly with me and it was deeply satisfying to introduce my clients and visitors to my studio to his painting. The show rewards repeated viewing and the Foundation has done an excellent job ensuring Resnick’s legacy.

This review was sent to me today by someone intimately familiar with Milton’s work — perhaps more so than anyone else alive today. I was, for years, the director of the Max Hutchinson Gallery, where we mounted numerous Resnick exhibitions, and, with the possible exception of the person who sent me this review, I have never read a statement where the writer so closely captured the essence of an artist’s work, and, more importantly, his intention.
Congratulations – and welcome to what I hope is a growing club of people who ‘get’ what Milton was after.
I know that someday his reputation will catch up to where it should be. He is, and always has been, a major artist and needs to be spoken about in the same breath as his former colleagues and friends. Exhibitions such as the extraordinary one at Mana and reviews such as this are important elements in righting this wrong.
Thank you for your efforts.

The Resnick Passlof Foundation is pleased to present this exhibition at Mana Contemporary; it is open mondays through fridays until august 1st. Guided tours are available.
The foundation building at 87 Eldridge street in lower Manhattan that served as his last studio will serve as a public exhibition space and archive featuring, but not limited to, his extraordinary artistic legacy. A former synagogue, it is currently being renovated and will hopefully be ready for public access in 2016.
Milton Resnick is represented by Cheim & Read, NYC.
