ABOUT THE ARTIST Painter and printmaker Lawrence Nelson Wilbur's artistic career spanned almost seven decades. A long-time resident of Manhattan, his numerous exhibitions and awards include shows at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (twice), the National Academy of Design (Obrig Prize), the American Watercolor Society (Silver Medal, and Zabriski Purchase Award), the Salmagundi Club (5 awards), and the Society of American Graphic Artists (John Taylor Arms Award). Wilbur was the subject of a half-hour national broadcast on PBS in 1987, which stimulated renewed interest in his work and a major one-person retrospective, 'Scenes from New York,' at Associated American Artists in New York City.
