An Evening with Alexis Rockman Acclaimed artist to be joined by David Abel, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The Boston Globe 6:30 – 8:30 pm, December 5, 2019 Bruce Museum, Greenwich, Connecticut Alexis Rockman, The Farm, 2000. Oil and acrylic on wood panel, 96 x 120 in. GREENWICH, CT, November 4, 2019 — On Thursday, December 5, 2019, Bruce Museum Presents poses the provocative question “Can Art Drive Change on Climate Change?” Leading the conversation is acclaimed artist and climate-change activist Alexis Rockman, who will present specially chosen examples of his work and discuss how, and why, he uses his art to sound the alarm about the impending global emergency. Adding insight and his own expert perspective is The Boston Globe’s David Abel, who since 1999 has reported on war in the Balkans, unrest in Latin America, national security issues in Washington D.C., and climate change and poverty in New England. Page 1 of 3 Press Release Abel was also part of the team that won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News for the paper’s coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings. He now covers the environment for the Globe. Following Rockman’s presentation, Abel will join Rockman for a wide-ranging dialogue at the intersection of art and environmental activism, followed by question-and-answer session with the audience. Among the current generation of American artists profoundly motivated by nature and its future—from the specter of climate change to the implications of genetic engineering—Rockman holds an unparalleled place of honor.

  • Reinventing, Downtown
    Reinventing, Downtown By XICO GREENWALD | June 24, 2017 Abstract Expressionists Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock and Franz Kline urged a pair of friends to start an art gallery. Tibor de Nagy and John Bernard Myers followed their advice and, in 1950, on East 53rd Street, they opened the Tibor de Nagy Gallery. MEDRIE MACPHEE A Dream of Peace, 2017 oil and mixed media on canvas, 60 x 78 inches In the years to come, Mr. Myers and Mr. de Nagy would exhibit works by a number of second-generation Abstract Expressionists, including Alfred Leslie, Grace Hartigan, Robert Goodnough and Helen Frankenthaler. They also showed figurative paintings by the likes of Larry Rivers, Jane Freilicher, Fairfield Porter and Red Grooms. And Tibor de Nagy editions, the gallery’s book imprint, published poetry by Frank O’Hara, John Ashbery, Barbara Guest and others. Mr. Myers left the gallery in 1970. By that time, Tibor de Nagy had relocated to the 57th Street gallery district. When Mr. de Nagy died in 1993, he bequeathed his business to two young gallery assistants, Eric Brown and Andrew Arnot. Over the next 24 years, Mr. Arnot and Mr. Brown built on the gallery’s legacy together, exhibiting New York School pictures alongside works by select contemporary artists influenced by New York School poets and painters. But in the fast-paced New York art world, perhaps the only constant is change. Mr. Brown departed from the gallery this year. And now Mr. Arnot has relocated Tibor de Nagy to the Lower East Side, partnering with Betty Cuningham Gallery in a space-sharing agreement.

  • JANE FREILICHER, MIRA DANCY, DANIEL HEIDKAMP January 6 - February 5, 2017 OPENING RECEPTION: Friday, January 6, 2017, 6-8Pm
    ! JANE FREILICHER, MIRA DANCY, DANIEL HEIDKAMP January 6 - February 5, 2017 OPENING RECEPTION: Friday, January 6, 2017, 6-8pm Derek Eller Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of works by Jane Freilicher, Mira Dancy, and Daniel Heidkamp. Freilicher's historic paintings will be hung in conversation with new work by contemporary artists Dancy and Heidkamp in a show that highlights common interests: improvisation, painting as a window, studio as subject, and the desire to interact with, and, at times, reinvent the New York cityscape. From the 1950s until her death in 2014, Jane Freilicher painted images of the countryside and the city as seen from her studios in Watermill and Manhattan, New York. In company with the work of her peers Fairfield Porter and Larry Rivers, Freilicher’s paintings utilized expressionist technique but were in direct opposition to the heroic abstraction that was in vogue when she began her career. The gallery will exhibit paintings from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s depicting the view from her lower Fifth Avenue studio window. This body of work documents the changing skyline of lower Jane Freilicher, Window on the West Village, 1999, oil on Manhattan, albeit imprecisely; Freilicher admittedly would linen, 24 x 28 inches. reinvent things when the paintings needed it. In a 2009 interview, poet and fellow New York School member John Ashbery described her work as “inviting the spectator to share her discovering of how impossible it is really to get anything down.” As a result of this process, the subject of these paintings seems less the city and more a celebration of intuitive image making or the sanctuary of the studio.

Fusing Both Arts to an Inseparable Unity: Frank O'Hara as a Visual Artist Abstract Frank O’Hara, a curator at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and a published poet in the 1950s and 60s, was an exemplary yet enigmatic figure in both the literary and art worlds. While he published poetry, wrote art criticism, and curated exhibitions—on Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, and Jackson Pollock—he also collaborated on numerous projects with visual artists, including Larry Rivers, Michael Goldberg, Grace Hartigan, Joe Brainard, Jane Freilicher, and Norman Bluhm. Scholars who study O’Hara fail to recognize his work with the aforementioned visual artists, only considering him a “Painterly Poet” or a “Poet Among Painters,” but never a poet and a visual artist. Through W.J.T. Mitchell’s “imagetext” model, I apply a hybridized literary and visual analysis to understand O’Hara’s artistic work in a new way.

    Dana Hoey, Miss Tessa 1, 2015, archival inkjet print, 17 x 22’, ed. 3. Repeat Pressure Until Curated by Sheilah Wilson OpeninG Saturday, May 21 6-9pm May 21-June 19 Catherine Cartwright, Moyra Davey, Stacy Fisher, Hilary Harnischfeger, Pati Hill, Dana Hoey, Vera Iliatova, Hein Koh, Dani Leventhal, Carolyn Salas, Kim Waldron, Carmen Winant OrteGa y Gasset Projects is pleased to present Repeat Pressure Until, a material investigation into the spaces between the recognizable and the unknown. Artists in the show use inhaBitation and over-inhaBitation of both material and societal norms to transform perception and offer new proposals. We cannot avoid the material, social, and cultural worlds we live in. Utilizing understood reference points becomes radical because it implies that all knowns have the potential to be made strange. There is a space opened up when testing limits of ideas or materials. Insistence both strengthens through emphasis and falls apart through over-repetition. The gendered female Body is presented as Benignly understandable and simultaneously profane. The object is holding or is held. Dominant can Be overthrown. (Although unnerving, it is made palatable because it is beautiful and the chaos is momentary.) Artists in the show suggest ways for us to live inside the known world, while suBverting these knowns through the act of placing pressure. This exertion of energy can create new forms and functions out of recognizable tropes and materials. Artists use photography, painting, drawing, video, and sculpture as tactics towards newly imagined versions of that which we know. They shoot arrows of violence, oBsession, re-imagined sexuality, kinship, and motherhood into anything in the world around us to which the arrow can cling.

    Jane Freilicher was an American representational painter known for her distinctive painterly realism. She is most noted for her Long Island landscapes seen from her Water Mill studio window, and her views of downtown Manhattan, often juxtaposed with still life objects in the foreground. Notice the tree in the foreground of Cherry Blossoms. Freilicher came of age in the era of Abstract Expressionism at the center of a group of influential artists and poets, including painters Willem de Kooning, Rudy Burckhardt, Joan Mitchell, Larry Rivers, Fairfield Porter, Alex Katz and Jane Freilicher, Cherry Blossoms poets John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, and Frank O’Hara.

  • Gruen Press Release-1
    YOUNG IN THE HAMPTONS Photographs of the 1950s & 1960s by John Jonas Gruen September 18-October 31, 2013 Opening Reception: Wednesday, September 18, 6-8 pm _________________________________________________________________ “How good it was to be young and in the Hamptons!” writes John Jonas Gruen, who was indeed young and in the Hamptons during the golden years of the 1950s and 1960s. Gruen, a leading photographer and art and music critic of the age, documented this mythical era with hundreds of black and white photographs of legendary painters, poets, actors, musicians, composers and conductors, taken over many summers throughout these decades. Young, sexy and carefree, these were the towering figures in their fields, before they even knew that they were. These were the artists who gave birth to the painting movement of Abstract Expressionism, the literary style known as the New York School of Poets and the Minimalism of mid century composers. Selections from this photography series have been shown in galleries in Southampton and Miami, but this upcoming exhibition at Susan Eley Fine Art will be the first showing in a New York City gallery of these portraits as an entity. The some 45 photographs--on view from September 18-October 31, 2013--have been carefully selected with Gruen and his assistant/co-editor Sam Swasey. Many of the images were published in 2003 in the book Young In the Hamptons, and the Whitney Museum of American Art owns about 300 images from the series. Among the subjects featured are painters Willem de Kooning, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Jim Dine, Larry Rivers; poets Frank O’Hara, John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, James Schuyler; playwright Edward Albee; composer Leonard Bernstein; pianists Robert Fizdale and Arthur Gold; acting teacher Stella Adler and art dealer Tibor de Nagy.
