Glenn Goldberg
THE PRESENCE IN PAINT | SEPTEMBER-October 2025
Glenn Goldberg (b. 1953, Bronx, NY) is a unique, idiosyncratic figure among the landscape of contemporary painting. His works are meticulously crafted via a systematic mark-making method that resembles stitching on top of demarcated fields of vibrant color. His paintings recall everything from Persian rugs to Tibetan mandalas to aboriginal picture making to the flat, spaceless graphics of early video games. The 70-year-old painter’s work is in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn, New York; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA; the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C, among others.
