BRUCE SILVERSTEIN GALLERY In the “Spotlight” section, showcasing a single artist in each booth, Bruce Silverstein is exhibiting three spectacular canvases from the 1970s by Alfred Leslie, a painter who started off as an Abstract Expressionist and later turned to figurative realism. “Americans, Youngstown, Ohio” (1977-78) is three conjoined canvases with figures dressed in everyday clothes and lit from below, while “A Death in the Family” (1976) features a corpse, but also a plate of eggs with a cigarette butt. Odes to banal America, the paintings feel like Caravaggio or Georges de La Tour for the ’70s recession era.
