Lerner attended Franconia College where he studied with the artist Peter Bradley. Early in his career Lerner was a gallery assistant to the British sculptor Anthony Caro.[2] In 1987 he exhibited in a group exhibition the Fall Invitational at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in Ridgefield, Connecticut with Ross Bleckner, Barry Le Va, Keung Szeto, Gary Stephan, and Deborah Remington.[3]
Lerner was a member of the New New Painters a group of artists brought together by the first curator of modern and contemporary art at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Dr. Kenworth Moffett (1934-2016), in 1978, contemporaneously with the further advancement of acrylic gel paint as developed by the paint chemist Sam Golden.[4] Lerner is also considered a trailblazer in the visual genre of hypertexture.[5]
