A standout opening this week is Anna Leonhardt’s fifth New York solo exhibition, Resonance, at Marc Straus Gallery in Tribeca. Opening July 10 at the gallery’s Walker Street location, the exhibition debuts a new body of abstract paintings that explore the emotional relationship between color, space, and material. Working with richly layered oil paint applied primarily by palette knife, Leonhardt creates atmospheric compositions where bold geometric forms appear to float, balance, and shift across luminous fields of color. Drawing on a lineage of German abstraction while embracing an intuitive, process-driven approach, Resonance transforms the physical act of painting into meditations on tension, movement, and equilibrium.
Whether you’re planning a gallery walk through Tribeca, SoHo, Chinatown, the Lower East Side, or the West Village, these are the exhibitions worth adding to your itinerary this week.
