    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.

  • Grief and Grievance: Art and Mourning in America,” an Intergenerational Exhibition of Works from Thirty-Seven Artists, Conceived by Curator Okwui Enwezor
    NEW MUSEUM PRESENTS “GRIEF AND GRIEVANCE: ART AND MOURNING IN AMERICA,” AN INTERGENERATIONAL EXHIBITION OF WORKS FROM THIRTY-SEVEN ARTISTS, CONCEIVED BY CURATOR OKWUI ENWEZOR Exhibition Brings Together Works that Address Black Grief as a National Emergency in the Face of a Politically Orchestrated White Grievance New York, NY...The New Museum is proud to present “Grief and Grievance: Art and Mourning in America,” an exhibition originally conceived by Okwui Enwezor (1963-2019) for the New Museum, and presented with curatorial support from advisors Naomi Beckwith, Massimiliano Gioni, Glenn Ligon, and Mark Nash. On view from February 17 to June 6, 2021, “Grief and Grievance” is an intergenerational exhibition bringing together thirty-seven artists working in a variety of mediums who have addressed the concept of mourning, commemoration, and loss as a direct response to the national emergency of racist violence experienced by Black communities across America. The exhibition further considers the intertwined phenomena of Black grief and a politically orchestrated white grievance, as each structures and defines contemporary American social and political life. Included in “Grief and Grievance” are works encompassing video, painting, sculpture, installation, photography, sound, and performance made in the last decade, along with several key historical works and a series of new commissions created in response to the concept of the exhibition. The artists on view will include: Terry Adkins, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kevin Beasley, Dawoud Bey, Mark

  • Tara Donovan "Printmaking: The
    Tara Donovan Printmaking: The Monotype Created by Mary Provosty Post-Visit Lesson Plan Age adaptable Visual Arts 1-2 Lessons Introduction Monotyping is a form of printmaking in which images or lines cannot be reproduced accurately more than once. It is essentially a printed painting - the artist works by drawing or painting directly onto a smooth, non-absorbent surface (commonly referred to as a printing plate) to form an image that will be transferred onto a sheet of paper. To create an image, one uses a subtractive method, removing the ink with brushes, rags, and texturized surfaces. At most, two impressions can be obtained. The second print from the original plate is referred to as a “ghost print.” Monotyping was first invented in the 1600’s to produce brushed sketches intended as finished and final works. About Tara Donovan Tara Donovan is a contemporary artist who works primarily in large scale, site-responsive installations. The success of her work is achieved by the surprising way she arranges great quantities of everyday materials into artistic environments and transforms the everyday to the otherworldly. She begins with the ordinary and launches it into the extraordinary. Styrofoam cups, plastic drinking straws, buttons, wooden toothpicks, rubber bands, pencil erasers, scotch tape are all materials she has explored and used in her art. She has also experimented with printing, utilizing the same mundane materials she uses for her sculptures. Some of her prints are created by using rubber bands that she meticulously lays out to create complex organic compositions. She then inks the rubber bands and obtains a print from them.

  • Landscapes 20 January — 24 February 2018
    Avigdor Arikha Landscapes 20 January — 24 February 2018 Private View: Friday 19 January, 6-9pm Blain|Southern Potsdamer Straße 77–87 Avigdor Arikha, View from Rue de la Chaise, 2005 10785 Berlin Courtesy the Estate of Avigdor Arikha and Blain|Southern Blain|Southern presents Landscapes, a selection of landscape paintings and drawings by Avigdor Arikha (1929-2010), one of the great observational artists of the late twentieth century. The gallery now represents the Estate of Avigdor Arikha and Landscapes is the first exhibition of the artist’s work. The exhibition is on view in the Long Gallery, beginning a new programme of simultaneous exhibitions at the Berlin gallery. While Avigdor Arikha is highly regarded for his interiors, still lifes and portraits, most of which he painted in his Paris studio, he also spent long periods in Israel and New York, and he never failed to take his pencil or brush along with him. Spending summers in Israel, he painted the warm walls, arid hills and desert vegetation, and during his frequent trips to New York City, the city’s rhythmic, rising grids became a new view to stimulate his eye and hand. His adopted hometown of Paris was his most frequent subject, from iconic Haussmann cityscapes, to seemingly overlooked patches of the city. Wherever he landed his eye, he found a subject, or a structure, worthy of a picture. Landscapes allows viewers to travel with the artist, and to see places and perspectives that were important throughout the artist’s life. Window frames inspired the artist wherever he travelled. In View from Rue de la Chaise (2005), the warm glow of the interior window frames are contrasted with the cool burst of green from the tree beyond.

  • Exposition De Picasso À Jasper Johns
    François-Mitterrand COMMUNIQUE DE PRESSE 8 avril I 13 juillet 2014 De Picasso à Jasper Johns L’Atelier d’Aldo Crommelynck La Bibliothèque nationale de France rend hommage au grand imprimeur d’art Aldo Crommelynck (1931-2008) en retraçant l’histoire de son atelier qui a contribué au prestige de Paris dans le domaine de l’estampe. En présentant une centaine d’œuvres issues de la collaboration entre l’imprimeur et les artistes étrangers avec lesquels il a travaillé à Paris et à New York, l’exposition offre une occasion exceptionnelle de découvrir des estampes rarement montrées et signées par Richard Hamilton, David Hockney, Jim Dine ou Jasper Johns. Initié à la gravure par le maître-imprimeur Roger Lacourière, Aldo Crommelynck ouvre son propre atelier à Montparnasse en 1956. En 1963, il installe avec son frère Piero une presse à Mougins, à côté de la maison de Picasso. L’entière disponibilité des frères Crommelynck suscite chez Picasso une véritable frénésie de création graphique : en résultent près de 750 planches, notamment la série des 347 gravures en 1968 et celle des 15 6 entre 1970 et 1972. En 1969, l’atelier parisien des frères Crommelynck déménage dans un hôtel particulier de la rue de Grenelle. En 1973, attiré par le renom de l’imprimeur de Picasso, Richard Hamilton vient y travailler et se lie d’amitié avec Aldo. À sa suite, l’atelier commence à être fréquenté par des artistes étrangers, majoritairement anglais et américains comme Jasper Johns, Jim Dine, David Hockney, Peter Blake ou Donald Sultan ; puis par des artistes plus jeunes comme George Condo ou David Salle.

    Tate Papers Issue 12 2009: Lucy R. Lippard http://www.tate.org.uk/research/tateresearch/tatepapers/09autumn/lippa... 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.

  • Stephen Ongpin Fine Art
    STEPHEN ONGPIN FINE ART AVIGDOR ARIKHA Rădăuți (Bukovina) 1929-2010 Paris Interior with Drawings Pastel on emery paper. Signed and dated Arikha Nov.88 in pencil at the lower centre edge. 505 x 300 mm. (19 7/8 x 11 3/4 in.) Provenance The estate of the artist Marlborough Fine Art, London. Exhibited New York, Marlborough Gallery Inc., Avigdor Arikha: twenty-five pastels, November 2007, no.3. Arguably one of the finest draughtsmen of the second half of the 20th century, Avigdor Arikha was born to German-speaking Jewish parents in Romania in 1929. The drawings he produced as a thirteen-year old boy while imprisoned in a Ukrainian labour camp brought him to the attention of the International Red Cross, who rescued him and sent him to a kibbutz in Palestine in 1944. After studying art at the Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts in Jerusalem, Arikha went to Paris in 1949, where he completed his training at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He eventually settled in Paris in 1954, studying philosophy at the Sorbonne and establishing lifelong and intimate friendships with Samuel Beckett and Alberto Giacometti. Arikha began his career as an abstract painter, but in 1965 abandoned painting completely, and spent the next eight years working on black and white drawings from life, as well as a series of monochromatic etchings. By the time he returned to painting in 1973, he had become a committed figurative painter, producing portraits of family and friends, interior scenes and still life subjects. Arikha’s drawings, invariably made from life, have always been much admired.
