The exhibition Paint New York: Painting from the American East Coast is a tribute to the city of New York as the birthplace of artistic movements and an international art capital. 

The exhibition features the work of eleven artists, including Elizabeth Peyton, Cecily Brown, James Todd, Joe Bradley and others – all of whom have been influenced by a legendary city whose art world never sleeps. 

Their work covers a vast variety of subjects and styles, from American culture to the human body, and from graffiti art to classic still-lifes.
