Try this when you visit
Give an apparently simple work time. Count repeated forms, notice changes in spacing, and look at the relation between its surface and surrounding wall. A narrow colour shift or a tiny interruption may become the most important event in the image. Describe the change you notice before reaching for an interpretation.
A question to take with you
What stays constant, and where does the work interrupt its own pattern?
Before setting out
Confirm the exhibition, opening arrangements, entrance and accessibility directly with the venue. This directory is a starting point, not a booking or a guarantee that a particular event is open. Descriptions of a programme do not establish which works are on view on your date.

The district listing gives 43 N. 2nd Street and (215) 925-5389. Its “Visit Website” link leads to the gallery’s Artnet profile, which asks visitors to call for an appointment and await confirmation. Dated exhibition entries and an older “current exhibition” label are not confirmation that the gallery is open on your date.
