If by chance you want to catch a little of the Art Basel spirit in Brooklyn, then be sure to stop by the opening reception of Abstract Tapestry at the Williamsburg Art and Historical Center this Saturday night from 6-8pm. Three of the ten featured artists are also exhibiting at Art Basel in Miami, enduring the 20-hour drive down to Florida, then hopping on a plane back for the WAHC exhibition on Saturday – all in the name of art.

Curator, Eniko Imre, has created an intriguing web of abstract painters by beginning with three artists and inviting them to select others that influence their own work, culminating in an exhibition that showcases both the presence of cornerstone techniques in abstract art and the manipulation, and evolution of the medium into its present-day form. Abstract Tapestry reveals the modern-day styles of abstract painting and highlights ten of its contemporaries.
