Those particular paintings have consequently vanished, but their replacements are still works by contemporary Americans. The show that has been on during past months includes Wolf Kahn's diffused Yellow House (1967), Roy Moyer's semi-abstract Cypresses (1968), John Button's Hopperesque Lake Erie (1968), and an assortment...
