Judith Seligson creates hard-edged abstract oil paintings in a style, according to The Washington Post, “reminiscent of those of Josef Albers and Frank Stella.” Her new exhibition at Galerie Merlout includes 50 works, mostly small scale—a signature. In the 1970s, after graduating from Radcliffe, Seligson set up shop in a Tribeca loft. Modern art at the time was dominated by men producing large works, and smallness was nearly disqualifying. But Seligson stuck to her four-by four-inch canvases, paving a distinctive path for herself. —Clara Molot
