  • 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.

    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.

  • Jane Freilicher Selected Press
    JANE FREILICHER SELECTED PRESS Jane Freilicher Is the "Absurdly Underrated" Artist Who Painted Flowers Like No One Else Could JULIA FELSENTHAL APRIL 20, 2018 [EXTRACT] Jane Freilicher, Early New York Evening, 1954 Photo: Courtesy of Paul Kasmin Gallery 509 West 27th Street New York NY 10001 + 1 212 563 4474 kasmingallery.com Jane Freilicher in the studio, 1972, Photo: Joe Hazan. Jane Freilicher, The Painting Table, 1954. Photo: Courtesy of Paul Kasmin Gallery. The paintings in the Kasmin show—all but two date back to the ’50s (many hung in her and Ashbery’s homes)—were made in the heady early days of these creative friendships (Hazan compares her mother and the poets to Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe in Just Kids). It was an era when O’Hara, who wrote a slew of poems devoted to “Jane,” would come over and help her stretch her canvases; when Ashbery would drop by to watch her paint; when Kenneth Koch, her onetime upstairs neighbor, would don a gorilla mask and scare passengers on the elevated train that rumbled past their windows. (He once said of Freilicher: “I never enjoyed conversation with anyone so much in my 509 West 27th Street New York NY 10001 + 1 212 563 4474 kasmingallery.com life.”) A pair of paintings were made in 1952, the year that Ashbery, O’Hara, and James Schuyler motored out to the Hamptons to shoot a short film penned by Schuyler called Presenting Jane. They never finished it, but recently recovered clips of the footage reveal a very young Freilicher seemingly walking on water.

  • Ben Aronson Biala, Nell Blaine, Jane Freilicher
    October 9, 2010 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ben Aronson Risk and Reward October 21 – November 27 The Tibor de Nagy Gallery is pleased to present new paintings by Ben Aronson. The exhibition marks his third with the gallery. The paintings included in the exhibition represent the artist’s recent inquiry into the realm of finance; players such as Wall Street traders and auctioneers participate actively in the commodification of art, bringing about risks as well as rewards. Despite the apparent intimacy of the painted compositions, Mr. Aronson creates a palpable distance between subject and viewer. We look directly at traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, but they do not acknowledge us. A group of three figures huddled together in a dimly-lit restaurant seem as disengaged with one another as they are with the viewer. The works, both large and small in scale, are rigorously painted and capture the ever-changing light as it both conceals and articulates the forms of the streets and buildings, some falling into shadow. Ben Aronson received both his B.A. and M.A. degrees in painting from Boston University. He has been the recipient of four National Academy of Design awards and has also taught graduate school seminars at Harvard University. His work has been exhibited and collected widely throughout the United States, most notably the Boston Museum of Fine Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Denver Museum of Contemporary Art, among others. Catalogue Available Biala, Nell Blaine, Jane Freilicher Selected Works October 21 – November 27 The Tibor de Nagy Gallery is pleased to present a selection of paintings by the celebrated women artists whose work has been shown actively in New York since the 1950s.

  • Painters of the East End
    Painters of the East End JULY 11 – AUGUST 16, 2019 297 TENTH AVENUE Kasmin is pleased to announce Painters of the East End, on view at 297 Tenth Avenue between July 11 – August 16, 2019. The exhibition explores the commonalities and distinctions of the work produced amongst the coterie culture of Long Island’s South Fork during the mid-twentieth century, including Mary Abbott, Nell Blaine, Perle Fine, Helen Frankenthaler, Jane Freilicher, Elaine de Kooning, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, Charlotte Park, Betty Parsons, and Jane Wilson. Artists have historically converged on Long Island seeking inspiration from the landscape and an escape from their confined urban studios, while still retaining access to the energy of New York City. With the mass influx of the European avant-garde following the onset of World War II and the subsequent establishment of the New York School, a thriving and collaborative artist-based community was born in the East End. The Hamptons of the New York School was untamed, inexpensive, and a bastion of bohemian living. The opportunities provided by the area’s open spaces were developmental for the painters who set up there not only because of their practical advantages—larger studios, relative quiet—but for novel subject-matter that allowed for contemplations of the horizon, rural landscapes, and bodies of water, nodding to the lineage of the Romantic sublime. 509 West 27th Street New York NY 10001 + 1 212 563 4474 kasmingallery.com Perhaps most crucial for these artists was their shared inspirations which led to a new model of community, differing in both structure and character from the frenetic energy of lower Manhattan.
