The institution of Contemporary Art of the University of Pennsylvania and the Hayden Gallery of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are pleased to present an exhibition of the recent spray paintings of Jules Olitski. This group of works, here brought together for the first time, demonstrates Olitski’s pioneer achievements in the exploration of a new medium and establishes his position among the major painters of today.
