On view as part of the group exhibition, Between Picture and Viewer: The Image in Contemporary Painting, curated by Tom Huhn and Isabel Taube at SVA’s Visual Arts Gallery on the 15th floor of the Starrett Lehigh Building, 601 West 26th Street, between 11th and 12th avenues. The show, which features nineteen artists, transcends its somewhat bland and generic title to constitute a generous and intelligent survey of current practice, with a multi-genre and generational grouping of individuals, some fashionable and others under the radar, that would do many of our museums proud as a “from the permanent collection” type display. Halvorson also features with fellow exhibitors James Hyde and Dana Schutz in a panel discussion, moderated by Katy Siegel, on December 9 at the SVA Theater, 333 West 23 Street. The event is free and open to the public.
