NICHOLAS KRUSHENICK | ORANGE BLOCK CO.

Nicholas Krushenick first developed his signature “pop abstract” style in the early 1960s, which was a synthesis of Op Art, Pop Art, Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism and Color Field. The high-keyed color, formal rigor and graphic intensity of his paintings set Krushenick apart from his contemporaries. His work was exhibited in solo exhibitions at the blue-chip galleries of the 1960s and 1970s, including Galerie Sonnabend, Galerie Beyeler and Pace, and he was the subject of a mid-career retrospective at the Walker Art Center in 1968.
