California Street San Francisco, CA I ; www.anthonymeier!nearts.com Donald Moffett Richmond Terrace 4 November thru 9 December 2011 Opening reception: Thursday 3 November, 6 to 8pm* Anthony Meier Fine Arts is pleased to present Richmond Terrace, an exhibition of new work by New York artist Donald Moffett. In his fourth exhibition at the gallery, Moffett debuts a suite of works that continues his ongoing investigation into the dimensionality of painting and its potential meanings. In this latest step, Moffett shifts viewers’ perspectives from the wall to the round. While maintaining a clear delineation between front and back, Moffett’s paintings are displayed on freestanding structures of functional, although at times elaborate, components that allow access to the verso of his canvases. The structures are utilitarian in nature – made of wood, metal, concrete, buckets, wire, and chain – and unadorned. In contrast, Moffett’s paintings remain elegant and formal, their surfaces heavily textured and brightly colored, their shapes complex. The essence of the new hanging structures is a simple idea – a presentation apparatus – that has fueled Moffett’s dialogue with painting and its histories to a distinctive level. As pieces of a whole, the structural components are unassuming. In combination, they are formidable in scale and presence, providing a backdrop to Moffett’s lush paintings that is both strong and humble. Donald Moffett’s work is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, TX; the Museum of Fine Art, Boston; and the, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN; among others. A mid-career survey exhibition of his work, The Extravagant Vein, is currently on view at The Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, thru 8 January 2012. It will travel to The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY (18 February thru 3 June 2012) and The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, PA (23 June 23 thru 9 September 2012). *complimentary valet parking provided .

Oil on linen with Arts Museum Houston is pleased to present the first wood panel support. 17 x 17 inches. Collection Mickey and comprehensive survey of work by New York-based Jeanne Klein, Austin painter Donald Moffett. Donald Moffett: The Extravagant Vein will provide viewers with insight ! into the breadth of the artist’s practice over the past twenty years. As a painter, Moffett extends the traditional two-dimensional frame by creating highly textured relief works in oil paint or sometimes turning monochrome surfaces into intricate illuminations by incorporating video projections. The subject matter of his paintings—from politics and history to landscape and nature—are poetic, provocative, and even at times humorous. Donald Moffett: The Extravagant Vein presents nine important bodies of work created over the last two decades, including painting, works on paper, photography, sound works, and Moffett’s light- loop paintings (paintings that incorporate video projections onto their surfaces). An astute and thoughtful painter, Moffett knows the power of the artist to critique the world at large. A founding member of Gran Fury, the artistic arm of the AIDS activist group ACT UP, Moffett has remained engaged with issues surrounding the presence of gays in historical and contemporary culture.

Tonic of Wildness at Boesky West, Aspen, to Feature Recent and Historical Works by Pier Paolo Calzolari, Donald Moffett, and Günther Uecker
Tonic of Wildness at Boesky West, Aspen, To Feature Recent and Historical Works by Pier Paolo Calzolari, Donald Moffett, and Günther Uecker On View December 13, 2017 – February 19, 2018 Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present, at its Aspen location, Tonic of Wildness, an exhibition of works by Pier Paolo Calzolari, Donald Moffett, and Günther Uecker. Taking its title from a phrase in Henry David Thoreau’s Walden, Tonic of Wildness highlights how these three artists are inspired by nature and incorporate the organic into their work. The exhibition will include a selection of Calzolari’s signature works composed of elemental materials, new extruded and resin wall works by Moffett, and several of Uecker’s nail-relief works as well as his acclaimed tree trunk sculptures, among other recent and historical works by the artists. Displayed together, their works present an international and multi-generational exploration of the natural environment’s influence on the creative process. The exhibition will be on view at Boesky West from December 13, 2017 to February 19, 2018. As one of the original members of the Arte Povera movement, Calzolari embraced the use of readily available, nontraditional materials such as salt, lead, moss, and neon in his artworks. Over his decades-long career, the artist has continued to explore states of matter, transience, and beauty through his choice of materials and containment of the exothermic processes of freezing and combustion. Tonic of Wildness will include recent lead wall works, some oxidized and another embellished with paintings of small birds and gold thread, as well as a diptych of moss gathered from the environs of Fossombrone, Italy where the artist lived for many years.

Donald Moffett Nature Cult 9 November Thorough 14 December 2018
Donald Moffett Nature Cult 9 November thorough 14 December 2018 Anthony Meier Fine Arts is pleased to present Nature Cult, an exhibition of new paintings by Donald Moffett. For his fifth exhibition at the gallery, Moffett will present a suite of five new works, featuring a luminous resin surface in deep ruby and ice blue on intricately shaped and perforated wood panels. This new body of work highlights the artist's attention to precision with his manipulated and sculptural canvases. The complexity of the form yields a visual presentation beyond the standard two dimensions; the smooth appearance of the poured-on surface gives credence to process and the order of gesture. Long recognized for embedding social, political and sexual issues in his work, Moffett’s new paintings go beyond to include nature – emblematically assaulted, yet still radiant. Moffett’s investigation into the definition of a painting challenges the traditional connection between an artwork and the wall. The ongoing question of a painting as a two-dimensional presentation is answered by an exaggerated float and internal exposures. Donald Moffett lives and works in New York, NY. Moffett received Bachelor of Arts degrees in Art and Biology from Trinity University, San Antonio, TX. Moffett’s work has been exhibited at The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, PA; The Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, TX; Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York; Columbus College of Art and Design, Columbus, OH; Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, TX; Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL; Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany and Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, OH, among others.

Exhibition of New Work by Donald Moffett Signals Change in Direction
Exhibition of New Work by Donald Moffett Signals Change in Direction Donald Moffett: any fallow field On View September 8 through October 15, 2016 New York, NY—August 16, 2016—Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present Donald Moffett: any fallow field, the artist’s sixth solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition will feature new work that examines nature and human disregard, broadening Moffett's ongoing engagement with the body politic. any fallow field is the first show dedicated to a single artist to be presented in the gallery’s recently expanded Chelsea location, across both 507 and 509 West 24th Street. The exhibition will be on view from September 8 – October 15, 2016. In his last exhibition with the gallery, in 2012, Moffett sought to inject “texture and weight” in the dialogue of our increasingly digitized lives. Deepening the interrogation in any fallow field, Moffett reverts to the primal source—nature. “With the tightening noose of social media, and the retinal-screen more generally, my empathies and intellectual inquiries are now with nature. Is there a way to look beyond the neurotic human hive—with its infinite self-interest and love of violence—to see again something that is far more interesting? With this work, I will look the other way and remind myself of what is there,” says Moffett of the exhibition. any fallow field includes Moffett’s latest extruded paintings, contemplating the natural world. With these signature works, the artist coaxes his oil paint into individual tendrils that are perpendicular to the canvas yet seem to undulate on the surface.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACTS: Kathleen Brady Stimpert, 512-475-6784, [email protected] Rachel Judlowe, 212-951-1895, [email protected] BLANTON MUSEUM OF ART PRESENTS NEW ACQUISITIONS BY TEXAS NATIVE DONALD MOFFETT Donald Moffett August 29, 2015-February 28, 2016 AUSTIN, TX⎯June 16, 2015⎯As part of a growing initiative to increase holdings by artists from Texas or currently based in the state, the Blanton Museum of Art presents a special installation of newly acquired works by San Antonio native Donald Moffett. With eight works by Moffett in its collection⎯including the entire suite of eighteen drawings comprising the artist’s Mr. Gay in the U.S.A. series⎯the Blanton currently holds more works by the artist than any other museum in the United States. In this intimate presentation, Moffett’s diverse and influential practice is showcased through a rich variety of media including painting, drawing, and projected video on canvas. In addition to the Blanton’s new acquisitions, a handful of works by Moffett on loan from two Texas collections will be featured. “I think Donald Moffett is one of the most exciting artists working today and I am thrilled that his work is now well represented at the Blanton and in his home state,” explains Veronica Roberts, Blanton curator of modern and contemporary art. “One of the things I admire most about him is the way he consistently takes risks. This exhibition will spotlight the diverse directions that he has explored in his practice.” Moffett emerged onto the New York art scene in the late 1970s and quickly became immersed in political activism.
