Black Hole

Please join Nancy Spero and sons, Stephen, Philip, and Paul Golub, in a tribute to celebrate the extraordinary life and work of Leon Golub – painter, activist, author, and teacher – who died August 8, 2004 in New York City. Golub’s outsized paintings bear searing and prophetic witness to a history of war and oppression, conflict and violence. In the iconography of the second half of the twentieth century art, his images of mercenaries, napalm victims, goons, and white squads create an implacable lexicon. Not withstanding the seriousness of Golub’s commitment to his politics in paint, his work was filled with pathos and a raunchy sense of humor and sexuality. Family, friends, colleagues, and students will miss his extraordinary knowledge and wit, his love of provocative discourse, and his generosity. For further information, please contact Laura Muggeo at the Ronald Feldman Gallery. (212) 226-3232 (laura@feldmangallery.com) To honor the spirit of Leon Golub, memorial gifts can be made to Amnesty International.
