The weekend of September 15/16 sees the official opening of the restored former residence of Milton Resnick as the home of the Milton Resnick and Pat Passlof Foundation. This historic synagogue on Manhattan’s Lower East Side has in fact been open, in preview mode, since July with an inaugural show of Resnick’s painting from 1937 to 1987. The building restoration, overseen by Ryall Sheridan Architects, was made possible by the sale of Passlof’s nearby studio-home, coincidentally another former synagogue. Passlof will be the subject of the Foundation’s second exhibition, in 2019. To welcome the Foundation to New York’s cultural life, artcritical offers this selection from our archives of coverage of Resnick and Passlof over the years.
