  • Milch Galleries
    THE MILCH GALLERIES YORK THE MILCH GALLERIES IMPORTANT WORKS IN PAINTINGS AND SCULPTURE BY LEADING AMERICAN ARTISTS 108 WEST 57TH STREET NEW YORK CITY Edition limited to One Thousand copies This copy is No 1 his Booklet is the second of a series we have published which deal only with a selected few of the many prominent American artists whose work is always on view in our Galleries. MILCH BUILDING I08 WEST 57TH STREET FOREWORD This little booklet, similar in character to the one we pub­ lished last year, deals with another group of painters and sculp­ tors, the excellence of whose work has placed them m the front rank of contemporary American art. They represent differen tendencies, every one of them accentuating some particular point of view and trying to find a personal expression for personal emotions. Emile Zola's definition of art as "nature seen through a temperament" may not be a complete and final answer to the age-old question "What is art?»-still it is one of the best definitions so far advanced. After all, the enchantment of art is, to a large extent, synonymous with the magnetism and charm of personality, and those who adorn their homes with paintings, etchings and sculptures of quality do more than beautify heir dwelling places. They surround themselves with manifestation of creative minds, with clarified and visualized emotions that tend to lift human life to a higher plane. _ Development of love for the beautiful enriches the resources of happiness of the individual. And the welfare of nations is built on no stronger foundation than on the happiness of its individual members.

  • Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881 - 1973)
    Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881 - 1973) Pablo Picasso is considered to be the greatest artist of the 20th century, the Grand Master primo assoluto of Modernism, and a singular force whose work and discoveries in the realm of the visual have informed and influenced nearly every artist of the 20th century. It has often been said that an artist of Picasso’s genius only comes along every 500 years, and that he is the only artist of our time who stands up to comparison with da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael – the grand triumvirate of the Italian Renaissance. Given Picasso’s forays into Symbolism, Primitivism, neo-Classicism, Surrealism, sculpture, collage, found-object art, printmaking, and post-WWII contemporary art, art history generally regards his pioneering of Cubism to have been his landmark achievement in visual phenomenology. With Cubism, we have, for the first time, pictorial art on a two-dimensional surface (paper or canvas) which obtains to the fourth dimension – namely the passage of Time emanating from a pictorial art. If Picasso is the ‘big man on campus’ of 20th century Modernism, it’s because his analysis of subjects like figures and portraits could be ‘shattered’ cubistically and re-arranged into ‘facets’ that visually revolved around themselves, giving the viewer the experience of seeing a painting in the round – all 360º – as if a flat work of art were a sculpture, around which one walks to see its every side. Inherent in sculpture, it was miraculous at the time that Picasso could create this same in-the-round effect in painting and drawing, a revolution in visual arts and optics.

  • Rebecca Horn Introduction of Works
    REBECCA HORN INTRODUCTION OF WORKS • Parrot Circle, 2011, brass, parrot feathers, motor t = 28 cm, Ø 67 cm | d = 11 in, Ø 26 1/3 in Since the early 1970s, Rebecca Horn (born 1944 in Michelstadt, Germany) has developed an autonomous, internationally renowned position beyond all conceptual, minimalist trends. Her work ranges from sculptural en- vironments, installations and drawings to video and performance and manifests abundance, theatricality, sensuality, poetry, feminism and body art. While she mainly explored the relationship between body and space in her early performances, that she explored the relationship between body and space, the human body was replaced by kinetic sculptures in her later work. The element of physical danger is a lasting topic that pervades the artist’s entire oeuvre. Thus, her Peacock Machine—the artist’s contribu- tion to documenta 7 in 1982—has been called a martial work of art. The monumental wheel expands slowly, but instead of feathers, its metal keels are adorned with weapon-like arrowheads. Having studied in Hamburg and London, Rebecca Horn herself taught at the University of the Arts in Berlin for almost two decades beginning in 1989. In 1972 she was the youngest artist to be invited by curator Harald Szeemann to present her work in documenta 5. Her work was later also included in documenta 6 (1977), 7 (1982) and 9 (1992) as well as in the Venice Biennale (1980; 1986; 1997), the Sydney Biennale (1982; 1988) and as part of Skulptur Projekte Münster (1997). Throughout her career she has received numerous awards, including Kunstpreis der Böttcherstraße (1979), Arnold-Bode-Preis (1986), Carnegie Prize (1988), Kaiserring der Stadt Goslar (1992), ZKM Karlsruhe Medienkunstpreis (1992), Praemium Imperiale Tokyo (2010), Pour le Mérite for Sciences and the Arts (2016) and, most recently, the Wilhelm Lehmbruck Prize (2017).

  • Eduardo Chillida
    Press Release Eduardo Chillida Hauser & Wirth New York, 69th Street 30 April – 27 July 2018 Private view: Monday 30 April, 6 – 8 pm The bird is one of the signs of space, each one of Chillida’s sculptures represents, much like the bird, a sign of space; each one of them says a different thing: the iron says wind, the wood says song, the alabaster says light yet they all say the same thing: space. A rumor of limits, a coarse song; the wind, an ancient name of the spirit, blows and spins tirelessly in the house of space. – Octavio Paz New York… Hauser & Wirth is pleased to present its inaugural exhibition of works by Eduardo Chillida (1924 – 2002), Spain’s foremost sculptor of the twentieth century. Widely recognized for monumental iron and steel public sculptures displayed across the globe, Chillida is also celebrated for a wholly distinctive use of materials such as stone, chamotte clay, and paper to engage concerns both earthly and metaphysical. On view from 30 April through 27 July 2018, this exhibition showcases the artist’s varied and innovative practice through a focused presentation of rarely displayed works, including small-scale sculptures, collages, drawings, and artist books that shed new light on Chillida’s enduring fascination with space and organic form. Originally a student of architecture in Madrid, Chillida created art guided by its principles; his early interest in the field had a lasting impact on his development as an artist, shaping his understanding of spatial relationships and sparking what would become a deep-rooted interest in making space visible through a consideration of the forms surrounding it.

  • New York Times 7 November 2004 P. AR 23 up Close and Very Personal
    New York Times 7 November 2004 p. AR 23 Up Close and Very Personal, for Hours and Hours By LINDA YABLONSKY Kutlug Ataman may be the only video artist alive who really wishes that people would not sit all the way through his work. Chances are slim, however, that many would try. His videos, essentially interior portraits of unusual personalities, can be eight hours long. What's more, they unfold in a potentially mind-numbing format restricted to talking heads, on as many as 40 screens at once. Not only do the screens face in different directions, they are also not always in the same room - or even in the same part of town. "You watch for a half-hour or whatever, and if you are interested maybe you will come back at another time and make your own montage, out of snippets," Mr. Ataman said recently. "That is my work - it's for you to experience not being able to access the whole thing." This intensely subjective and demanding art is bringing Mr. Ataman, 43, growing international attention. In recent years, his work has captivated viewers at biennials in Venice, Istanbul and São Paulo and at Documenta, the international group exhibition in Kassel, Germany. Last month, soon after being shortlisted for the Tate Gallery's prestigious Turner Prize in London, he won the Carnegie Prize in Pittsburgh for "Küba," a new video work in the current Carnegie International biennial. "I'm not a genius, I just work hard," Mr. Ataman said in an interview at the Lehmann Maupin Gallery in Chelsea, where another new piece, "Stefan's Room," was presented last month.

  • The Museum of Modern Art
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release November 1991 RICHARD SERRA: AFANGAR ICELANDIC SERIES November 26, 1991 - March 24, 1992 Richard Serra's most ambitious set of prints to date, made to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of Gemini G.E.L., are the subject of an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art opening on November 26, 1991. Organized by Riva Castleman, director of the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books, RICHARD SERRA: AFANGAR ICELANDIC SERIES is the first exhibition of the project, which consists of more than a dozen heavily encrusted etchings that the artist calls intaglio constructions. The works in the series employ the visual vocabulary of a recent project of Serra's in which he had wery tall monoliths of Icelandic basalt placed in pairs along the perimeter of a small island near Reykjavik. In the etchings, made at Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles in 1991, densely black forms have been printed on roughly textured paper affixed in the printing process to two layers of Oriental paper. These imposing images loom upward from the lower edges of the sheets, starkly evoking the environment that inspired them. The exhibition continues through March 24, 1992. Richard Serra was born in San Francisco, California, in 1939. He studied at the Berkeley and Santa Barbara campuses of the University of California, graduating with a B.S. in English Literature in 1961. In 1964 he earned an M.F.A. from Yale University, where he had worked with Josef Albers on his historic book The Interaction of Color.

  • William Kentridge: ‘Seeing Double’
    M A R I A N G O O D M A N G A L L E R Y For Immediate Release. William Kentridge: ‘Seeing Double’ January 16 – February 16, 2008 Opening reception: Wednesday, January 16, 2008, 6-8 pm Marian Goodman Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of recent work by William Kentridge which will open on January 16th and will run through February 16th, 2008. The exhibition will be on view in the North and South Galleries. This will be the first presentation in the U.S. of works previously seen this summer and fall at the Städel Museum, Frankfurt and the Kunsthalle Bremen. The exhibition is structured primarily around the discourse of vision and optics and centered around a new eight-minute anamorphic film, titled What Will Come (2006), which takes its title from a Ghanaian proverb: “What will come has already come.” On view will be drawings, prints, and stereoscopic images which form the basis of the film What Will Come and in which Kentridge continues his exploration of optics and the construction of seeing. In taking sight as a subject, it is double vision, the formal construction of how we construct images in our brain which intrigues Kentridge. This is revealed through a set of eight stereoscopic cards, Double Vision, six stereoscopic photogravures, and drawings, all of which take on three dimensions as the viewer ‘completes’ the work with a stereoscopic device; as well as anamorphic drawings-- images which appear distorted, but are corrected in mirrored in cylinders. Reference to optics have been an ongoing concern in Kentridge’s work since, for example, the film Stereoscope (1999) in which “Soho’s mind bursts into two as he doubles up and becomes divided even from himself –unable to achieve the stereoscopic vision by which we normally see three-dimensionally as our mind fuses together images from both eyes”, or since Kentridge’s group of anamorphic drawings based on Shadow Procession figures in 2000.
