DRAWING DISCOVERY A trove of rediscovered drawings by the British-born artist and botanist Dwight Ripley, a figure in the New York art world during the 1950s, is on display in “Unlikely Angel”. The colored-pencil drawings were recently found after decades in an abandoned storage trunk. The exhibit, which was organized by poet and author Douglas Crase, also includes photographs, rare books, birthday cards, and other correspondence. Ripley was also an art collector and the financial backer of the Tibor de Nagy gallery. Through Saturday, March 18, Tuesday-Friday, 11 a.m.-7 p.m., Poets House, 72 Spring St., between Broadway and Lafayette Street, 212-431-7920, free.
