During her time in quarantine, Ukraine-born, Tel Aviv-based artist Zoya Cherkassky has set herself the task of making one painting a day. Now on display in a new online exhibition at Fort Gansevoort, the works imagine a “collective pre-World War II Jewish life in Eastern Europe as an allegorical vehicle for contemplating our current crisis”. This particular piece shows Anne Frank peeping cautiously from her window, as she described doing in her diary, and is the subject of a thoughtful accompanying discussion between the artist and curator Alison M Gingeras about Frank’s legacy.
