About the Gallery
The Meeting was founded in 2016 by Bill Cournoyer and is based in the West Village neighborhood of New York City. Its mission is to present a muti-generational and international program of contemporary artists. Its name references the painting “The Meeting, Or Bonjour Monsieur” by Gustave Courbet, a masterpiece that depicts an encounter between the artist and his patron, and which defines the synergetic relationship between them.
The gallery has presented the debut solo exhibitions of Andy Bennett, Nick Hoecker, Samuel Farrier, and Tod Lippy, as well as the first New York solo exhibitions of Andrew Chapman, Buck Ellison, Christopher Culver, Henry Belden, Hongyan, Jack Ryan, and Patrick Carroll.
About the Presentation
The Meeting will present a single work titled ‘My Fellow Americans’, 2025 by Tod Lippy. Lippy’s practice delves into the intricate themes of space and identity, examining how one’s personal environment can position and define one socially, politically, and economically, while also having the potential to divide. Through the physical act of painting in ‘My Fellow Americans’, Lippy attempts to reckon with the complexities of a fractured world and perhaps even offer a modest alternative.
