To accomplish this, we fund the most innovative clinical and laboratory research around the world, support the next generation of the field’s leaders, and serve as the trusted source of information on immunotherapy for cancer patients and their caregivers.

Your support this evening and throughout the year provides vital funds for the CRI Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. This program supports young immunologists at top universities and research centers around the world. CRI fellows are deepening our knowledge of the immune system and making discoveries that are transforming cancer treatment and helping to save lives with immunotherapy. We thank you for your participation in tonight’s event. We hope you enjoy yourself, and that your enjoyment is deepened by the knowledge that your continued help can make a real difference in our fight against cancer.

ED RUSCHA

IS, 2017 Acrylic on paper Image size, 4 ½ x 5 3/4 Frame size, 12 ½ x 15 ½

The epitome of California cool, Ed Ruscha has become synonymous with pithy and laconic drawings of words and phrases. The artworks take these segments of language out of their natural context and focus on the weight or the weightlessness of each word on a stand-alone basis. The background illuminates the phrase, giving it character and individuality. Ed has been working nonstop since moving to from Oklahoma in the 1950s, inventing and reinventing the notion of West Coast art. One of the most sought-after living artists, Ruscha represented the US in the 2005 Venice Biennale, and is due for another major retrospective, “Course of Empire,” this June at London’s National Gallery.

FRED TOMASELLI

NYTimes, Sunday, July 31, 2016, 2016 Gouache and archival inkjet print on watercolor paper Image size, 10 ½ x 11 5/8 inches Frame size, 16 5/16 x 17 ½

Drawing upon art historical sources and Eastern and Western decorative traditions, Fred Tomaselli’s works explode in mesmerizing patterns that appear to grow organically across his compositions. Tomaselli takes inspiration from actual New York Times front pages, and picks those that strike him most to create an alternative universe, a new interpretation. His work has been called “meticulously crafted, richly detailed, deliriously beautiful”, “forms implode, explode, oscillate, buzz, loop, swirl, and spiral.” The July 31, 2016 work twists the image from the article on immunotherapy, which mentions the origins of the Cancer Research Institute.

ANSELM REYLE (b. 1970)

BLACK EARTH, 2008 Mixed media on canvas, chrome enamel varnish, steel frame Image size, 95 1/4 x 75 3/16 inches Frame size, 100 13/16 x 80 11/16 inches

This work is accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity signed and dated “Anselm Reyle 2008” on the reverse. Anselm Reyle’s work is celebrated for the way in which it pushes unexpected materials to their limits. Rather than use oil paint to make what appears to be a painting, Reyle used thick gesso and chrome enamel varnish, adding significant weight and texture to the work. Rendered in large format scrapes and brushstrokes on a bright purple background, Reyle’s black marks criss-cross the work, creating a powerful composition in two colors. Surrounded by an enormous steel frame painted the same color as the background of the painting, Black Earth is a major example of Reyle’s large-format works on canvas.

SEAGRAM BUILDING, MIES VAN DER ROHE WITH PHILIP JOHNSON, NEW YORK, NY, 1958 Gelatin Silver Print 20” x 16” Estate-Stamped, Dated and Numbered Verso From an Edition of 20 + 4 Artist’s Proofs

Stoller’s “concise and descriptive photographs” from the 1930s to the 1980s captured iconic structures, from the Guggenheim Museum to the TWA Terminal at JFK to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater. His images “convey the three-dimensional experience of architecture through a two-dimensional medium with careful attention to vantage point and lighting conditions as well as line, color, form and texture.” Every photograph is a crisp representation of the building in question, but also a memento of the era. Stoller’s works are in numerous museum collections, including the , the Whitney, and SFMoMA. The above work captures the Seagram Building, where the “Through the Kitchen” party has been taking place for three decades.

Studio Visit – Artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov

Visit the studio of Ilya Kabakov in Mattituck, Long Island. As described by Tate Modern during their major retrospective this year, “the Kabakovs are amongst the most celebrated artists of their generation, widely known for their large-scale installations and use of fi ctional personas. Critiquing the conventions of art history and drawing upon the visual culture of the former Soviet Union—from dreary communal apartments to propaganda art and its highly optimistic depictions of Soviet life—their work addresses universal ideas of utopia and fantasy; hope and fear.” The couple has enjoyed a continuation of a productive career after emigrating to the US in the late 1980s. The Kabakovs’ works are in the collections of the , the Museum of Modern Art, and Guggenheim among others.
