  • Ralph Humphrey: Monochromes
    Garth Greenan Gallery 545 West 20th Street New York New York 10011 212 929 1351 www.garthgreenan.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Garth Greenan (212) 929-1351 [email protected] www.garthgreenan.com Ralph Humphrey: Monochromes Garth Greenan Gallery is pleased to announce Ralph Humphrey: Monochromes, an exhibition of paintings at 545 West 20th Street. Opening on September 6, 2018, Monochromes is Ralph Humphrey’s third exhibition with the gallery. Featuring seven of the artist’s lush abstract paintings from the late 1950s, this presentation of early works is the first of its kind in nearly three decades. The exhibition focuses on the Monochrome paintings, a singularly important, emotionally fraught body of work, created between 1957 and 1960. A single hue dominates the surface of each canvas and is subtly modulated throughout. The allover quality of such paintings as E.M. #1 (1959) is powerfully affecting, both visually and psychologically. Viewers are compelled to ponder their existence when confronted with the quiet vibration of the paintings’ surface. West End, 1959 Interviewed in Arts Magazine in 1975, Humphrey explained to Priscilla Colt, “The core of my work is contemplative. The object becomes a meditation on time, space, and light.” In all their variety, these monochromes emit a restless energy, drawing spectators closer and closer. In 1960, Donald Judd reviewed Humphrey’s first exhibition of this body of work at Tibor de Nagy Gallery, noting the following: “This is Purism of a sort, in which generality does not contain variables

  • Minimalism 1 Minimalism
    Minimalism 1 Minimalism Minimalism describes movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music, where the work is stripped down to its most fundamental features. As a specific movement in the arts it is identified with developments in post–World War II Western Art, most strongly with American visual arts in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Prominent artists associated with this movement include Donald Judd, John McLaughlin, Agnes Martin, Dan Flavin, Robert Morris, Anne Truitt, and Frank Stella. It is rooted in the reductive aspects of Modernism, and is often interpreted as a reaction against Abstract expressionism and a bridge to Postmodern art practices. The terms have expanded to encompass a movement in music which features repetition and iteration, as in the compositions of La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, and John Adams. Minimalist compositions are sometimes known as systems music. (See also Postminimalism). The term "minimalist" is often applied colloquially to designate anything which is spare or stripped to its essentials. It has also been used to describe the plays and novels of Samuel Beckett, the films of Robert Bresson, the stories of Raymond Carver, and even the automobile designs of Colin Chapman. The word was first used in English in the early 20th century to describe the Mensheviks.[1] Minimalist design The term minimalism is also used to describe a trend in design and architecture where in the subject is reduced to its necessary elements. Minimalist design has been highly influenced by Japanese traditional design and architecture. In addition, the work of De Stijl artists is a major source of reference for this kind of work.

  • PRETTY RAW: After and Around Helen Frankenthaler February 11-June 7, 2015
    PRETTY RAW: After and Around Helen Frankenthaler February 11-June 7, 2015 Organized by the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University Curator: Katy Siegel, Curator at Large, Rose Art Museum Pretty Raw interweaves Helen Frankenthaler’s work and that of related artists in the 1950s and 1960s with broader artistic effects we might gather under her name. The stage is set in the second generation of the New York School, with figures including Frankenthaler, Grace Hartigan, Frank O’Hara and others in the Tibor de Nagy Gallery— artists and writers who matched the experimentalism of Abstract Expressionism with a light spirit and references to everyday feelings and experiences. These artists located personal freedom within a seemingly impersonal abstraction, expanding the expressive possibilities of a formalist mode. Working outwards from this moment, the exhibition/book traces several related phenomena: the artistic innovations of poured paint and stained raw canvas; the social implications of decoration; authorial control vs. materiality; the body and painting; and the image of the woman painter and related questions of gender and identity. The later sections of the show embrace the intersection of feminism and painting, in easel paintings, large-scale works and performances by feminist artists in the 1970s and early 90s. Women assert their right to make assertive “pure” painting, and, conversely, men embrace embodied materiality and decorative motifs. As we approach the present moment, when abstraction is enjoying a wild flowering, Pretty Raw seeks to reveal the sensibility, social implications, and physical beauty of this history. Selected artists: Helen Frankenthaler, Grace Hartigan, Al Leslie, Morris Louis, Jules Olitski, Sam Gilliam, Friedl Dzubas, Frank Bowling, Ralph Humphrey, Miriam Schapiro, Lynda Benglis, Harmony Hammond, Andy Warhol, Christopher Wool, David Hammons, Polly Apfelbaum, Marilyn Minter, Ross Bleckner, Laura Owens, Mary Weatherford, Sterling Ruby, Carroll Dunham, Jacqueline Humphries.

  • DOOMED and FAMOUS Selections from the Adrian Dannatt Collection
    MIGUEL ABREU GALLERY DOOMED AND FAMOUS Selections from the Adrian Dannatt Collection January 16 – March 13, 2021 36 Orchard Street All notes by Adrian Dannatt Clockwise 1 HUGO GUINNESS Tit, 2020 signed; signed, titled and dated on the reverse oil on board 8 x 10 inches (20.32 x 25.4 cm) Hugo Guinness is the most belovèd Englishman in New York, as adored for his elegant persona and naughty wit as his art. An eternal man-about-town spanning several continents, Guinness has been an advertising copywriter, ceramic craftsman, actor, voice-over artist and flowerpot designer not to mention muse and story man to Wes Anderson. Best known for his drawings and distinctive block prints, of late Guinness has happily been developing his pictorial practice with actual paintings, of which this distinctive “tit” is particularly pleasing. It makes the perfect introduction to the exhibition, as dextrous as decorative, comic as poignant. ARTIST SELF-PORTRAITS Sometimes one ends up with two things of the same type without really being aware of it, and accidentally put them together and bingo, gracious me, then find a third and by the fourth it’s a thing. Pencil self-portraits by artists; and I am pleased anew at just how good they look together, these three, Noguchi, Richard Prince, Hirst, each making the other look better, actual draughtsmanship in action here, hands to the face, glances askance. There is another really great one, the young John Bratby chain-smoking, but I left it in London as nobody knows him stateside; and one I really wanted to buy from Simone Subal by Brian O’Doherty as a young medical student—too expensive.

  • Ralph Humphrey: Conveyance
    Garth Greenan Gallery 529 West 20th Street 10th foor New York NY 10011 212 929 1351 www.garthgreenan.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Garth Greenan (212) 929-1351 [email protected] www.garthgreenan.com Ralph Humphrey: Conveyance Garth Greenan Gallery is pleased to announce Ralph Humphrey: Conveyance, an exhibition of paintings, collages, and drawings at 529 West 20th Street. Opening on April 2, 2015, the exhibition is the artist’s first since 2012. Seven of Humphrey’s thickly impastoed abstract paintings will be on view, as well as a selection of collages and preparatory drawings, many of which have never before been exhibited. The exhibition focuses on the Conveyance paintings, a singularly important, emotionally fraught body of work, created between 1974 and 1977. The paintings— hulking masses of casein and modeling paste in blacks, blues, and purples—often loosely resemble actual objects, like packages or containers. But, what do they contain? Ostensibly, they are vessels for Humphrey’s emotions, his life experiences and ideas about paint- ing. Their textured surfaces simultaneously attract and repel, even as their dimensionality literally forces viewers into the objects’ space. Their actual content is Untitled #4 (1976) perhaps not so easily read. Born in Youngstown, Ohio in 1932, Ralph Humphrey studied painting at Youngstown University. In 1957, Humphrey relocated to New York, where he met artists Theodoros Stamos and Mark Rothko. Rothko’s fierce opinions and strong, personal emotionalism were major influences on the young artist—ones that continued throughout his career. From 1966 to 1990, Humphrey taught painting in the graduate art department at Hunter College.

    Gary Snyder Gallery 529 West 20th Street 10th floor New York NY 10011 212 929 1351 www.garysnyderart.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Garth Greenan (212) 929-1351 [email protected] www.garysnyderart.com Ralph Humphrey Gary Snyder Gallery is pleased to announce Ralph Humphrey, an exhibition of paintings and works on paper at 529 West 20th Street. Opening on September 13, 2012, the exhibition is Humphrey’s first in a New York gallery since 1998. Fifteen of the artist’s thickly impastoed abstract paintings will be on view, as well as a selection of works on paper. A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition, with contributions from Klaus Kertess, David Pagel, and Stephen Westfall. In addition, the catalogue will include excerpts from Humphrey’s sketchbooks and journals—none of which have ever been published previously. The exhibition and its accompanying publication provide a detailed view of the artist’s work from 1973 to 1984—hulking masses of casein and modeling paste in a palette of intense colors. Works in the exhibition such Untitled (1973) as Untitled (1973), Christmas Story (1979–1980), and Bridge (1983–1984) demonstrate Humphrey’s unique ability to create surfaces that are at once immediate yet boundless in depth. Icons of Postminimalism, these paintings transform the traditional relationship between viewer and object; their large scale and density literally force viewers into the objects’ space. Christmas Story (1979–1980) Bridge (1983–1984) (more) “Space coming forward is more of a confronting, more like an experience,” wrote Humphrey, “but an experience that calls attention to its own time.
