About the Gallery
Borowsky Gallery highlights include solo exhibits by Art Spiegelman, acclaimed artist and author of Maus; noted painter Archie Rand; and French photographer Frédéric Brenner; and many group shows on themes from new landscape to touchable art. In 2003, the ambitious exhibit A Happening Place revisited the Gershman Y's history as a leading forum for Pop Art, Happenings and other pioneering art of the sixties and seventies.
