Mitchell’s (1925–92) first solo show in the city of her birth since 1974 illustrates the Abstract Expressionist’s love of poetry through artist’s books, her stunning quadriptych painting Minnesota, and letters from poet friends such as Frank O’Hara. While the small exhibition could explore the connections between poetry and Mitchell’s visual art in more depth, it reminds viewers that her work is, in O’Hara’s words, filled with “the ecstasy of always bursting forth.” Through May 31.—PH
