The Floyd Memorial Library in Greenport, New York, is hosting an opening reception for the exhibition "Stow Wengenroth The Flacks: The Greenport Group." The show features nearly fifty rarely seen lithographs by Stow Wengenroth, a prominent 20th-century printmaker whose work is held in major institutions like the Met and MoMA. The exhibition also highlights Wengenroth’s creative circle, including doll-maker Edith Flack Ackley and children’s author Marjorie Flack, alongside contemporary commissions by puppet-maker Carmen Campos.
This exhibition serves as a significant local retrospective that reconnects a celebrated American lithographer with the community where he lived and worked for two decades. By showcasing Wengenroth alongside his family and artistic cohorts, the library provides a unique look at a mid-century regional creative hub while highlighting the rarity of the Flack sisters' multidisciplinary contributions to American craft and illustration.
