Past Exhibitions
JAZZ LOFT: DAVID X. YOUNG September 24 – December 23, 2009
Described as, ”the center of the Jazz universe,” Young’s loft provided Thelonius Monk, Charles Mingus, Stan Getz, Zoot Sims, Miles Davis and Bill Evans among other legends a place to rehearse, jam and experiment from 1959 to 1965. The spirit of those years are reflected in Young’s drawings, paintings, films and album designs, which are being shown for the first time since the artist passed away in 2001. Special thanks to the Estate of David X. Young.
