  • Tony Delap Exhibition: 14 September - 27 October 2018 Tuesday to Saturday 11Am - 6Pm
    Opening reception: 6-8pm Thursday 13 September 2018 Tony DeLap Exhibition: 14 September - 27 October 2018 Tuesday to Saturday 11am - 6pm It is the discrepancy between the front edge or plane, and the back edge or plane, that is the primary content of the work. This discrepancy sets up an agitation with the wall and gives the paintings a somewhat unsettled physical appearance. Tony DeLap, 1980 Edel Assanti is pleased to present Tony DeLap’s first solo exhibition in the UK. Tony DeLap’s artworks challenge the limitations of visual perception, exploring the point at which the illusion of three- dimensionality becomes reality. DeLap has been at the nexus of significant West Coast American art movements since the early 1960s. His exhibition at Edel Assanti focuses on work produced over the past decade of his career. Despite playing a key role in the development of many of the dominant movements of twentieth century abstraction – including minimalism, op art and hard-edge painting – DeLap’s oeuvre intentionally eludes fixed categorisation. His recent work exists at the intersection of painting and sculpture: monochromatic shaped canvases and hard-edged abstract paintings. DeLap’s work investigates how the interaction of geometric shapes can create dimensionality and movement on static planes. His paintings are visually non-referential, containing the essential compositional architecture to create an effective illusory space. Their pristine and textureless surfaces play a critical role in this process, achieved through a combination of the densely layered application of acrylic paint and a saturated palette, maximising the retinal impact of the interlocking planes of colour.

  • Tony Delap: a Career Survey, 1963—2016
    Tony DeLap: A Career Survey, 1963—2016 November 6 – December 23, 2017 Franklin Parrasch Gallery, New York, and Parrasch Heijnen Gallery, Los Angeles, are pleased to present Tony DeLap: A Career Survey, 1963—2016. Each gallery will present iconic examples of sculpture, drawing, and painting from various periods throughout Tony DeLap’s six-decade practice. In its New York space, Franklin Parrasch Gallery will include early mixed media sculpture and related drawings from the 1960s, formed paintings from the 1970s and 1980s, and shaped paintings from the 1990s to the present. Parrasch Heijnen will present a similar range of works in Los Angeles, as well as an architectural intervention not exhibited since DeLap’s 1972 solo exhibition at Nicholas Wilder Gallery. DeLap’s oeuvre defies fixed categorization. Initially brought to the attention of New York gallerist Robert Elkon by Agnes Martin in the early 1960s, DeLap’s earliest exhibited works were precisely constructed painted aluminum sculptures that challenged viewers’ perceptions of positive and negative space. Having originally worked extensively with collage, DeLap’s sculptures of this time presented an idiosyncratic articulation of a layered space in a decisively Minimalist mode. By the mid-1970s, as his approach to object and architecture continued to evolve, DeLap was creating monochromatic shaped canvas paintings; soon thereafter he incorporated interventions of hard-edged, painted color in his canvases, effectively bending light by way of application of color. At its core, DeLap’s work explores how the interaction of geometric shapes can create dimensionality and movement on static planes. In a 1980 essay, DeLap explains: “It is the discrepancy between the front edge or plane, and the back edge or plane, that is the primary content of the work.

  • Frieze New York Was Once Considered a Destination for Works of Art So New That the Paint on Them Might Still Be Dripping
    Frieze New York was once considered a destination for works of art so new that the paint on them might still be dripping. But the fair—and the market—has changed. Frieze’s sixth edition, which opened to VIPs on Thursday and opens to the public today, is packed with work from the 1960s, ‘70s, and ‘80s. Rediscovery is the name of the game: Many of these works are by artists in their 80s and 90s who have yet to receive a monographic museum show in the US. As the dealer Franklin Parrasch puts it, “The energy of collecting is in revision.” When the market is jittery—and the political climate is turbulent—dealers and collectors would rather plumb history to find an overlooked artist with a solid pedigree than take a gamble on a 22-year-old MFA student. “Insecurity reverts eyes to reflect upon history,” Parrasch says. During the VIP preview, the Los Angeles-based gallery Parrasch Heijnen sold two of the four works on view at their solo booth dedicated to Tony DeLap, a pioneer of West Coast Minimalism who turns 90 this year ($38,000–$80,000). 980 MADISON AVENUE NEW YORK, NY 10075 (212) 980-0700 | 601 SOUTH ANDERSON STREET LOS ANGELES, CA 90023 (323) 980-9000 WWW.VENUSOVERMANHATTAN.COM Back in the 1960s, DeLap was well on his way to art stardom: His work was included in the legendary “Primary Structures” exhibition at the Jewish Museum and the “Responsive Eye” show at the Museum of Modern Art. (In fact, the now-better-known Southern California Minimalist John McCracken was DeLap’s teaching assistant at U.C.
