Earlier this year, Audrey Flack published her memoir, With Darkness Came Stars. The book reflects on a long and evolving career, beginning in New York in the 1950s, with Flack’s embrace of Abstract Expressionism, moving on to Pop art and kitsch (she influenced the young Jeff Koons), and then in the 1970s exploring hyper-realism. In the memoir’s epilogue, Flack writes of her eventual death: “I have been lucky enough to make it this far and am in the process of preparing for my inevitable demise.” She died last June, at age 93. Flack had left hyper-realism for post-pop baroque, which saw her recreating works by Italian Renaissance artists. “She has taken the signs of indulgence, beauty, and excess,” the art critic Robert C. Morgan wrote in the Brooklyn Rail, in 2010, “and transformed them into deeply moving symbols of desire, futility, and emancipation.” This exhibition, planned by Flack herself, presents 30 of her later works. —Elena Clavarino
