As the year comes to a close, we reflect on all the incredible painting exhibitions we've witnessed this year - and within them, the overwhelming success of numerous New American Paintings Alumni. Over the past 29 years we've had the pleasure of sharing the work of many notable emerging and under-recognized artists with our subscribers. In the list below, you will find some big names in painting, like Amy Sherald, who was featured on our pages in 2010, as well as some names from recent years that you are sure to see pop up more and more.
