“Mr. Carone was present at the beginning of the New York School and friends with Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko and Lee Krasner. … In the early 1960s his career was eclipsed by Pop Art and Minimalism. He effectively withdrew from the New York gallery world for 40 years but continued working in several mediums and styles. In 1964 he joined the founding faculty of the New York Studio School, where he taught drawing for nearly 25 years. He also taught at Columbia University, Cooper Union and the National Academy of Design.”
