  • Anderson Gallery to present Goldberg tribute

    An opening reception for the memorial exhibition “Ode to Michael Goldberg: Selective Thievery and the Practice of Looking” will take place from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Sept. 13 in the UB Anderson Gallery, One Martha Jackson Place near Englewood and Kenmore avenues in Buffalo.

    The exhibition, which will be free and open to the public, will be on view through Jan. 18.

    Goldberg is best known for his large-scale abstract paintings that reflect the early influence of Abstract Expressionism. The exhibition, which includes a group of important paintings from the university’s collection and loans of artwork from private collections and public institutions—many shown publicly for the first time in years—provides a unique opportunity to observe the development and evolution of the artist’s life and work through drawings, paintings and prints dating from the 1940s to the 1980s.

    The UB Anderson Gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and from 1-5 p.m. on Sunday.
