June Leaf: Street Dreams Exhibition Poster (1968); First New York Solo Show
The exhibition poster published in conjunction with June Leaf’s first solo show in New York at the Allan Frumkin Gallery in 1968. The poster depicts a black-and-white image of Leaf’s hand sketching, with many of her tableaux, vignettes, and cut-out painted figures in the background. This exhibition effectively launched Leaf’s art career, showcasing a distinctive blend of abstract and figurative painting with theatrical undertones—creating expressive tableaux of cut-out painted figures, carousel-like forms, and layered canvases.
Leaf is best known for her abstract allegorical paintings, densely layered drawings, and spindly, expressive tin and wire figurative sculptures. Throughout her career, she explored the human condition through a deeply imagined world of unreal creatures and fantastical settings. Following her recent passing in Manhattan in 2024 at the age of 94, Leaf’s legacy has returned to the spotlight, reinforcing the lasting impact of her expressive work. Item #1850.
