James Chance by Curt Hoppe via Howl! Arts
The work of Curt Hoppe, a longtime resident of the Bowery, is getting an encore presentation at Howl! Happening starting tonight.
Via the EVG inbox:
Howl! Arts | Howl! Archive is pleased to present "Downtown Portraits Revisited," an exhibition featuring Curt Hoppe's large-scale realist paintings and black-and-white photographs of New York City artist friends. These were first exhibited five years ago at Howl! Happening in conjunction with Frank Bernarducci Gallery. Since then, we've experienced not only the loss of some of the artists who are subjects in his series but significant changes in our daily lives due to the pandemic.
James Chance, the no-wave saxophonist seen above, passed away on June 18.
The opening reception for "Downtown Portraits Revisited" is tonight (Thursday!) from 5 to 8.
Howl! Happening is at 6 E. First St. between Second Avenue and the Bowery. Hours: noon to 6 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday.
