Paintings by Eddie Eckenrode have been shown in the gallery above Sam & Eddie's Open Books, which will be re-dedicated the "Eddie Eckenrode Gallery" at this fall's Art Stroll. Though these abstract structural pieces are typical of Eckenrode's later work, his never-before-exhibited figurative paintings from the late 1960s and early 1970s will be on display this Friday.
