He becameinvolved in the avant-garde New York art scene, meeting Franz Kline,Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, and Milton Resnick among others.In 1951, Goldberg, under the name Michael Stuart, showed his paintingsin the “Ninth Street Show.” The following year he moved to 28 East 2ndStreet and joined the Club, gathering with other Abstract Expressionistpainters to exchange artistic ideas. Around this time, he met the poetFrank O’Hara, who became a life-long friend and dedicated many poemsto Goldberg. In addition, they collaborated on a project titled “Odes” in1960. Goldberg maintained his connection with the Abstract Expressionistpainters throughout the fifties and into the sixties.A second generation Abstract Expressionist artist, Michael Goldberg’spainting defies classification, having undergone numerous changesthroughout his long and prolific career.
