The Grey Art Museum’s inaugural exhibition at its new location at 18 Cooper Square is the kind of deep dive into a cultural moment that has long distinguished New York University’s art institution, formerly called the Grey Art Gallery. For its survey Americans in Paris: Artists Working in Post-war France, 1946-62, the independent scholar Debra Bricker Balken and Lynn Gumpert, the museum’s director, have dug into the phenomenon of US artists pouring into the French capital after the Second World War.
The show includes more than 130 works made in Paris by around 70 artists.
