Bruce Conner at Kohn Gallery for « Crossroads »
Kohn Gallery is pleased to present Bruce Conner : Crossroads, on view November 8 through December 20, featuring the iconic 1976 short film of declassified footage of the first underwater atomic bomb test.

Diversity is the hallmark of Conner's work and it is also reflected in his multiple careers and manifold identities. Drawings, collages, sculptures, assemblages, paintings, prints, photographs and films are just as much ... - Exposition
Michael Kohn Gallery presents Bruce Conner
The Michael Kohn Gallery is honored to present an exhibition of this great artist's works, "Bruce Conner from the 1970s." This show has been organized with a keen curatorial edge, crisply defining an elusive yet important period of Conner's work when he produced some of his most important historical works on paper, conceptual works of art, paintings, photographs, lithographs and films.
Conner's drawings of the 1970s display a remarkable range of invention, from the works he made early in the decade that showed his continuing interest in labyrinthine, densely worked "Felt-tip Pen" drawings to works on paper which betray the lean influences of minimalism.
In 1970-71 Conner produced an extensive series of lithographs that documented in part many of the "Felt-tip Pen" works on paper, and t...
