New York Abstraction: 

Dan Christensen

Dan Christensen (1942-2007) is a pivotal figure in post war American abstraction whose importance lies in the way he consistently challenged painting’s possibilities — its techniques, its energy, and its materials. The great critic Clement Greenberg anointed him in 1990 as “one of the painters on whom the course of American art depends” and viewed him as an exemplar of “post-painterly abstraction.
