Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) will present a selection of chairman and founder A. Eugene Kohn’s watercolors at the Galleries at 153 East 53rd Street in New York City this summer. Opening on July 2nd and on display through the end of August, the exhibition will feature highlights of Kohn’s work from the 1950s through today.
Kohn paints primarily in watercolor with a range of subjects, including cityscapes, landscapes, still life, and abstract. Much of his work is done when he travels in foreign countries, and he frequently gives them as gifts or donates them to charity auctions. His watercolors have previously been displayed at the Guggenheim Museum in a show for the works of well-known architects, as well as an exhibition in Hong Kong last year, and are shown at Belgravia Gallery in London. Kohn’s fascination with painting began when he was a young boy sitting by his mother’s side while she painted. Hannah Kohn was an accomplished painter in her own right and had a show at the Guggenheim Museum on for her 100th birthday.
