    P A U L A C O O P E R G A L L E R Y FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JENNIFER BARTLETT Grids & Dots 243A Worth Ave, Palm Beach January 16 – February 7, 2021 PALM BEACH—Opening on Saturday, January 16, 2021 in Paula Cooper Gallery’s Palm Beach location is a focused presentation of work by Jennifer Bartlett titled “Grids and Dots.” On view will be five examples of Bartlett’s pioneering steel and enamel plate works, made between 1971 and 2011. Installed in an interior room of the gallery, the presentation is in dialogue with the concurrent exhibition “Sol LeWitt: Cubic Forms,” highlighting both artists’ parallel interest in geometric forms and programmatic strategies as the foundation for complex and exuberant works of art. Bartlett first began making paintings on white enameled, square-cut steel plates in late 1968. The idea was born from her interest in the metal signs found inside New York City subway stations. “They looked like hard paper,” Bartlett explained. “I needed paper that could be cleaned and reworked. I wanted a unit that could go around corners on the wall, stack for shipping. If you made a painting and wanted it to be longer, you could add plates. If you didn’t like the middle you could remove it, clean it, replace it or not.”1 Inspired by LeWitt's application of the grid and serial systems, Bartlett begins with vertical and horizontal lines silkscreened onto the baked enamel surfaces. Using Testors brand enamel paint, she then plots out various dot patterns within the framework, following simple mathematical schemes.

Kayden * Faced with mounting social needs and continuing fiscal constraints, more and more cities "mint" money through their zoning codes to fi- nance a wide array of public amenities. Through the land use regula- tory technique formally known as "incentive zoning," cities grant private real estate developers the legal right to disregard zoning restric- tions in return for their voluntary agreement to provide urban design features such as plazas, atriums, and parks, and social facilities and services such as affordable housing, day care centers, and job training. Since its inception some thirty years ago,' incentive zoning has enjoyed broad support from developers and their attorneys, avoiding the legal challenges commonly brought against land use regulations requiring * A.B.

Courtesy the Emily Mason and Alice Trumbull Mason Foundation and Miles McEnery Gallery, New York. Artists, lovers, life-partners, art-world rivals, benefactors, and luminaries, Emily Mason (1932–2019) and Wolf Kahn (1927–2020) were all of these things—and more. Miles McEnery Gallery has devoted each of its two spaces to the first posthumous solo gallery exhibitions for the couple, who died within months of each other after more than sixty years of marriage. The shows offer a rare opportunity to compare and contrast the work of two very different painters—one abstract and the other figurative—who shared a passion for vibrant color, the bucolic landscapes of Vermont and Italy, and who both aimed in their works for pure, soul-baring expressivity. Filling the larger gallery at 525 West 22nd street, some 26, mostly large major works by Kahn feature his trademark landscapes with brilliant color contrasts and lively gestural touches. Despite deteriorating eyesight and other physical ailments in his last years, Kahn managed to produce some remarkably intense composi- 1 Wolf Kahn, Woodland Density, 2019, Oil on canvas, 52 x 52 inches.

    YA L E UNIVERSITY A R T PRESS For Immediate Release GALLERY RELEASE April 29, 2021 ON THE BASIS OF ART: 150 YEARS OF WOMEN AT YALE Yale University Art Gallery celebrates the work of Yale-educated women artists in a new exhibition from September 2021 through January 2022 April 29, 2021, New Haven, Conn.—On the Basis of Art: 150 Years of Women at Yale celebrates the vital contributions of generations of Yale-trained women artists to the national and interna- tional art scene. Through an exploration of their work, the exhibition charts the history of women at the Yale School of Art (formerly Yale School of the Fine Arts) and traces the ways in which they challenged boundaries of time and cir- cumstance and forged avenues of opportunity—attaining gallery and museum representation, developing relation- ships with dedicated collectors, and securing professorships and teaching posts in a male-dominated art world. On view at the Yale University Art Gallery from September 10, 2021, through January 9, 2022, the exhibition commemorates two recent milestones: the 50th anniversary of coeducation at Yale Irene Weir (B.F.A. 1906), The Blacksmith, College and the 150th anniversary of Yale University’s admit- Chinon, France, ca. 1923.

  • Jack Tworkov: Becoming Himself
    Jack Tworkov: Becoming Himself By Carter Ratcliff, May 2017 Jack Tworkov developed an acclaimed Abstract Expressionist style and then left it behind, seeking to transcend style and achieve true self­expression through painting. In 1958, the Museum of Modern Art in New York launched one of its most influential exhibitions. Titled “The New American Painting,” it sent works by leading Abstract Expressionists on a tour of eight European cities. Responses were varied. Some Old World critics saw canvases by Jackson Pollock, Barnett Newman, and their colleagues as unnecessarily large and aesthetically naïve. Others acknowledged, with differing degrees of reluctance, that the unfamiliar imagery confronting them was genuinely innovative. A critic in Berlin praised Jack Jack Tworkov, X on Circle in the Square (Q4-81 #2), Tworkov for dispensing 1981, acrylic on canvas, 49 x 45 in.; Courtesy Alexander with ready-made premises Gray Associates, New York © Estate of Jack Tworkov / and assumptions, seeing the Licensed by VAGA, New York, NY world afresh, and painting what is “real.” “The New American Painting” advanced an ambitious hypothesis: the Abstract Expressionists now formed the modernist vanguard. Convinced that they were no less significant than Impressionists or Cubists, the painters themselves had come to this conclusion a decade earlier. No longer American provincials, they had merged personal ambition with historical destiny. with historical destiny. Understandably, then, when an Abstract Expressionist achieved a mature style he—or she, in the cases of Lee Krasner and Joan Mitchell—tended to stay with it. Of course, signature styles evolved over the years. Mark Rothko’s imagery grew darker.

This show was notable for acquainting the New York School with the medium as its artists would go on to embrace collage, creating objects that ranged from small compositions of handmade paper to mural-sized works of torn and reassembled canvas. Despite the significance of this development, art historians consistently overlook collage during the era of Abstract Expressionism. This project examines four artists who based significant portions of their oeuvre on papier collé during this period (i.e. the late 1940s and early 1950s): Lee Krasner, Robert Motherwell, Anne Ryan, and Esteban Vicente. Working primarily with fine art materials in an abstract manner, these artists challenged many of the characteristics that supposedly typified collage: its appropriative tactics, disjointed aesthetics, and abandonment of ―high‖ culture.

ISSN 1753-9854 TATE’S ONLINE RESEARCH JOURNAL Landmark Exhibitions Issue Curating by Numbers Lucy R. Lippard Cultural amnesia – imposed less by memory loss than by deliberate political strategy – has drawn a curtain over much important curatorial work done in the past four decades. As this amnesia has been particularly prevalent in the fields of feminism and oppositional art, it is heartening to see young scholars addressing the history of exhibitions and hopefully resurrecting some of its more marginalised events. I have never become a proper curator. Most of the fifty or so shows I have curated since 1966 have been small, not terribly ‘professional’, and often held in unconventional venues, ranging from store windows, the streets, union halls, demonstrations, an old jail, libraries, community centres, and schools … plus a few in museums. I have no curating methodology nor any training in museology, except for working at the Library of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, for a couple of years when I was just out of college. But that experience – the only real job I have ever had – probably prepared me well for the archival, informational aspect of conceptual art. I shall concentrate here on the first few exhibitions I organised in the 1960s and early 1970s, especially those with numbers as their titles. To begin with, my modus operandi contradicted, or simply ignored, the connoisseurship that is conventionally understood to be at the heart of curating. I have always preferred the inclusive to the exclusive, and both conceptual art and feminism satisfied an ongoing desire for the open-ended.
