The Parrish Art Museum is currently showing “Alice Aycock Drawings: Some Stories Are Worth Repeating.” Aycock emerged onto the New York art scene in the 1970s and is best known for her large-scale installations and outdoor sculptures.
It is her drawings, however, that truly capture the full array of her creative process. The Parrish Art Museum Director Terrie Sultan describes Aycock as “an artist who thinks on paper.”

Consisting of approximately 100 works, the exhibition traces Aycock’s career from 1971 to the present, highlighting the major themes that have governed her artistic practice. The exhibition is presented in two parts, 55 works are on display at the museum covering the years 1984 to the present and 48 works covering the years 1971-1984 can be found at the Grey Art Gallery, New York University’s fine arts museum.
The exhibition is open for viewing at both locations through July 13.
