After Virginia
CHART is pleased to present After Virginia, an homage to the distinguished gallerist Virginia Zabriskie (1927-2019) by revisiting her 1989 show “Abstraction in Photography”. Presented at her eponymous 724 Fifth Avenue gallery, the exhibition surveyed a range of photographic abstraction by 20th century artists who explored modernist ideas and experimental techniques, producing imagery with and without a camera.
