Despite early success and a long teaching career at Cornell University, Eleanore Mikus seems to have largely been missed by history. The Drawing Center’s fall exhibition Eleanore Mikus: From Shell to Skin, featuring a selection of the artist’s early work, aims to redress this oversight. The exhibition includes drawings and paintings, featuring several of Mikus’ “Tablets” from the early 1960s, as well as slightly later folded paper works.
