Benjamin Benno: Making Modernity
Benjamin Benno's career spanned perhaps the full range of Modern art. This exhibition celebrates a few key highlights from his practice, showing select pieces that are the best examples of movements like Impressionism, Cubism, and Abstract Expressionism.
Mechanisms and Monoliths
This exhibition looks at monumental artworks from a series of remarkable artists. Featuring art by Marina Abramović, Chryssa, Cork Marcheschi, Robert Rauschenberg, Mel Ramos, Shirley Shor, and Andy Warhol, each piece is a point of reverence that directs the viewer to contemplate at a larger scale what worship looks like in a mechanical and commodified age.
Remembering the Holocaust: Then and Now
Michael Knigin built a practice off of Pop Art juxtaposition, contrasting opposing themes, aesthetics, media, and symbols to create works in constant dialogue with themselves. The works shown in Then and Now all stem from a common theme centered around the violence of the Holocaust and the societal fallout that followed it over multiple decades.
Sacred Geometry
In certain systems of belief, there is an understanding that specific geometric shapes and configurations hold sacred meaning. While none of the artists in this exhibition believed innately in those concepts, there is a reverence for the purity of mathematical forms in each of the included works. Featuring art by: Josef Albers, Richard Anuszkiewicz, and Mark Kostabi.
The Paintings of Marshall Goodman
Marshall Goodman's paintings are fleeting glimpses of scenes that feel both surreal and intimate. Goodman's style reflects a casual humanity that was first captured by the Impressionists. Goodman approaches every fleeting moment with sincerity and sensibility.

The Museum is open by appointment only Wednesday - Friday between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Walk-in appointments cannot be made at this time. Reservations can be made by emailing Info@RoGalleryMuseumofLIC.com directly or through the reservations link on the RoGallery Museum website. The museum is now available for booking for future events.
