The second installment in our Office Art series examines a set of prints by Milton Resnik, an abstract expressionist who died in 2004. He is remembered as the last major painter of the original New York School and as a teacher, and for that we salute him.
Three untitled monoprints from 1982 hang along a narrow hallway. The prints share an underlying abstract image, which I think began as a lithograph, but each one is slightly different in color and texture. They are rather dark to begin with, but they also suffer from poor lighting and reflective glass that renders them invisible. Sadly, I suspect that no one pays much attention to them, and so we give them a rating of B.
Resnik seems to have been bypassed by the paper of record, as well: He is mentioned in a 1996 New York Times art review of Pat Passlof - he was her husband.
