Retrospecting
Gordon Binder
Curated by Mary Higgins
May 21st - June 14th, 2025
A longtime resident of Washington’s Dupont Circle neighborhood, Gordon is a big fan of urban life. He studied architecture and urban planning and devoted his career to conservation and the environment.
This urban interest is expressed in his paintings and drawings of skylines, cityscapes, streetscapes, urban landscapes, people out and about in urban settings.
As he considered what to include in the show, he decided to select favorite work from over the years that speak to this urban theme.
Mary Higgins curated the show.
An artist by avocation, Binder studied at the Corcoran with the late DC artist William Christenberry and has been showing art for more than 25 years. His work is in collections in the Washington area, in New York and San Francisco, Los Angeles, Aspen, Boston, and elsewhere in New England.
