Join the New York Academy of Art for a conversation between Neil Jenney and author and critic Linda Yablonsky. The pair will discuss how the artist has challenged models of taste and subject matter in the three key phases of his career—Bad Paintings (1969–70), Good Paintings (1971–2015), and New Good Paintings (2015–)—as well as his commitment to exploring, and ultimately transcending, realism as both style and philosophy. Jenney will be honored at the Tribeca Ball 2024 on April 1.
