Trompe L'Oeil Triumphant

Early works by Stephen Posen (b. 1939)—New York-based artist and, incidentally, father of fashion designer Zac Posen—are on display in “Threads: Paintings From the 1960s and ’70s,” an ambitious two-part exhibition at Vito Schnabel Projects (thru June 23, this page) and its sister gallery in St. Moritz, Switzerland (July 28–Sept. 2). “Untitled” (detail, left), a large-scale, photorealist painting of cloth-covered boxes from 1970, has never been publicly shown in New York until now.
