Ralph Fasanella (1914-1997) celebrated the common man and tackled complex issues of postwar America in colorful, socially minded paintings. The exhibit, Lest We Forget, celebrates the one hundredth anniversary of the artist's birth and brings together key works from a career spanning fifty-two years. This major exhibition includes a selection of artworks from the American Folk Art Museum's collection, which holds more than one hundred paintings and drawings by the artist. Visit the exhibition's gallery to learn more about the collection and archive.

Willem van Genk's Mind Traffic is the first monographic exhibition of works by the internationally acclaimed Dutch artist Willem van Genk (1927-2005) to be presented in the United States. The exhibition features over forty pieces including: panoramic paintings, collages, drawings, personal notes, sculptures of trolleys, and even an installation of raincoats (van Genk collected hundreds of raincoats over the course of his lifetime). Van Genk was a restless stockpiler of information, factoids, and trivia and his artworks can be seen as "memory palaces" or visualizations implemented to organize and recall information. Since the artist believed that all things were connected, these imaginary landscapes serve as sophisticated frameworks to map hidden forces.

This is the best time of year for produce at the Greenmarket. Both summer and fall crops are in season and they are available twice a week right here in Lincoln Square at Richard Tucker Park. There are heirloom tomatoes, peppers and eggplants, as well as perennial favorites like swiss chard, kale and beets. And now, fall crops like winter squash, cauliflower and bok choy are popping up too. 

The produce at the Greenmarket is ripened in the sun and has typically been picked less than 24 hours before it arrives in Lincoln Square. And who knows fresh fruits and vegetables better than those people who grew them? The farmers and their representatives are present at the market to answer your questions about how they produce their food.

The Greenmarket accepts Food Stamps (EBT) and many of the farmers accept Farmer's Market Nutrition Program checks, and WIC. And until Saturday, November 15, EBT shoppers get an extra $2 coupon for fresh fruits and vegetables for every $5 they spend with their EBT card. 

The Richard Tucker Park Greenmarket is a year round, twice-weekly farmers market, located on 66th Street between Columbus and Broadway. It is open every Thursday and Saturday from 8am-5pm. There are over 50 Greenmarkets in New York City featuring fresh local foods all grown and produced within 200 miles of the city.
