  • Press Release (PDF)
    G A G O S I A N G A L L E R Y August 29, 2016 The critic and curator Philip Rawson, an eloquent guide to the means and methods of drawing over the ages, points out that until the Italian Quattrocento, no European sculptor was supposed to be able to draw. In the medieval period, only those sculptors who also worked in two dimensions drew habitually; any other sculptor who needed, say, to show a client a proposed design hired a draftsman to make one. And when sculptors began to make drawings (for their own use or to guide assistants), they tended to do so without thinking of the format of the paper as a frame to which the image should relate. Instead, the image was generally treated as an independent motif, composed of mutually related units and placed anywhere on the sheet. In this approach, the space of the paper outside the image was not incorporated into the design but functioned like the open, empty space around actual sculptures. ... In contrast, Rawson observes, painters' drawings have tended to treat the usually rectangular format of the paper as a frame to which the image content relates. —John Elderfield Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present “Plane.Site,” a cross-generational exhibition of modern and contemporary artists organized by Sam Orlofsky to inaugurate the San Francisco gallery.

Lovell, “City, River, Mountain: Wayne Thiebaud’s California,” Panorama: Journal of the Association of Historians of American Art 3, no. 2 (Fall 2017), https://doi.org/10.24926/24716839.1602. City, River, Mountain: Wayne Thiebaud’s California Margaretta M. Lovell , Jay D. McEvoy, Jr., Professor of American Art, University of California, Berkeley For decades now, art historians, critics, art enthusiasts, gallerists, and readers of The New Yorker have been very familiar with Wayne Thiebaud’s cakes, pies, deli counters, and gum ball machines. His reputation was firmly established with food paintings such as Around the Cake and Delicatessen Counter in the early 1960s (figs. 1, 2). Usually associated loosely (and somewhat erroneously) with the Pop Art movement, these upbeat paintings with their bright colors, their common everyday, very American food subjects, sly geometry, shallow depth of field, and wry humor are frequently exhibited, published, and commented on.1 Less well-known, and virtually unremarked on by art historians, are the extraordinary landscapes that have resulted from his pursuit of this genre. This essay touches on continuities between Thiebaud’s food paintings and his landscape paintings, and on the ways his landscapes broach the seemingly irreconcilable differences between abstraction and representation. Centrally, it engages the ways in which his landscape paintings, focusing on the ecologies of California, engage major human concerns about place, space, and habitation. Figures 1, 2.

Robert Bechtle, who lives in San Francisco, is known for his photorealist approach to painting and is a pioneer of the genre. Wayne Thiebaud works from life and from memory in his unique illustrative style. Although his depiction of commonplace objects has been associated with Pop Art, Thiebaud describes himself as “just an old-fashioned painter.” Both Bechtle and Thiebaud were influenced by Richard Diebenkorn, an important leader in the Bay Area figurative movement. Printmaking has been an integral part of the creative careers of all three painters. This exhibition features prints that each artist has created in the Crown Point Press studio since the nineteen-sixties. Early works include Robert Bechtle’s ‘60s T-Bird (1967), two prints from Richard Diebenkorn’s 41 Etchings Drypoints (1965), and Wayne Thiebaud’s Cherry Stand, from the book Delights (1964). Robert Bechtle works from his photographs of Bay Area residential neighborhoods. He first worked at Crown Point Press in 1967. His project at that time was originally titled The Alameda Book after the town he grew up in, but he did not release it then. Forty-four years and one earthquake later, the unpublished copper plates from The Alameda Book were found during a cleaning of the Crown Point studio basement and ’60 T- Bird emerged as one of the survivors.
