Exhibition Label: "NetWorks: Art and Artists from the Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection," Mar-2011, Susan Earle, Stephen Goddard, and SMA Interns Despite the text penciled boldly beneath this drawing, it is a preparatory sketch for an oil painting that would be titled Forsyth St 4 (see image at left). White produced a large series of street-name paintings in the early 1970s, offering abstracted bird’s-eye-views of New York’s Lower East Side. Although historically an immigrant neighborhood, the Lower East Side became a magnet for hippies, artists, and musicians in the mid-to-late 1960s. The Vogels recount that they were drawn to this neighborhood on weekends to visit its many galleries and artist studios.
