A New Show of Summer Brings the Beach and Hot Dogs to the Upper East Side
The artist, Wayne Thiebaud, is a perpetual boy of summer, alert to America’s fling with the season’s sweet irresponsibility.
‘Wayne Thiebaud: Summer Days’
Acquavella Galleries, 18 E. 79th St.
Through June 14
Summer is in the air and hanging on the wall at Acquavella Galleries, on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. “Wayne Thiebaud: Summer Days” is an evocation of sun and sand. It captures the carefree indulgences that tempt when the temperatures soar and the days lengthen. The artist lived more than a century before passing away in 2021. This show captures him as a perpetual boy of summer, alert to America’s fling with the season’s sweet irresponsibility.
