Abstract
During the 1950s and 1960s approximately one thousand new synagogues were consecrated in the United States, a significant number of which directly commissioned work by Abstract Expressionist artists. The synagogue projects provided the opportunity for many abstract artists to work on large-scale and important commissions. Such noted sculptors as Herbert Ferber, Ibram Lassaw, David Hare, and Seymour Lipton and such painters as Robert Motherwell and Adolph Gottlieb collaborated with architects on synagogue projects at this time.
