Provincetown Artists: Irene Lipton

P-town's reputation as a "gay mecca" is such that most people don't know that it is one of the oldest and most important art colonies in the US. The seminal abstract painter Hans Hoffman worked and taught there in the mid-twentieth century, and that tradition lives on. One of our favorite contemporary Provincetown abstractionists is Irene Lipton. The work above is 16" x 16", but she works much bigger, too, up to 48" x 48" or so.

Her website is here.

She shows at the Albert Merola Gallery.
