Palermo

Wooster Street

1975

A bold and minimalist composition rendered in acrylic on two aluminum panels, Palermo's *Wooster Street* reflects the artist's characteristic interplay between geometric abstraction and urban experience. The cool, industrial surface of the aluminum lends the work a sleek luminosity, while the two-part structure invites the viewer to consider fragmentation and continuity. Rooted in the visual language of his New York surroundings, the piece quietly bridges the everyday architecture of the street with the formal rigor of abstract art.
