M. Henry Jones

One of Gallery 98’s most successful exhibitions starred M. Henry Jones, a tech artist whose temperament belongs to the Jurassic age before digital media. Anthony Haden-Guest’s excellent article “Innovative provocations” occasioned this news item. Look for Henry’s appearance at the Museum of Modern Art in November 2017.

Patrons could agree, however, on the excellence of Lee Quiñones’ ceiling mural, an LES pantheon whose portrait of Purple is based on a photo by Harvey Wang available at Gallery 98.
