Giacometti Retrospective to Be Held at New York's Acquavella Galleries Inc
ARCHIVE ACQUAVELLA GALLERIES Giacometti retrospective to be held at New York's Acquavella Galleries Inc. Acquavella's good name has guaranteed the participation of several distinguished lenders JASON EDWARD KAUFMAN 1st November 1994 01:00 BST Acquavella Galleries Inc. are presenting a museum-quality retrospective of seventy-three works by Alberto Giacometti. The exhibition, until 10 December, comprises sixty-three sculptures and ten paintings dating from the early 1920s until 1965, the year before the artist’s death. The collection includes signature works such as “Woman with her Throat Cut”, “The Invisible Object (Hands Holding the Void)’, “The Pointing Man”, “The Walking Man’, “The Nose”, “The Hand, The Chariot”, and five of “The Women of Venice”. The range of museum, dealer, and private loans from here and abroad attest to Mr Acquavella’s daunting reputation, a presence fortified by his 1989 acquisition in partnership with Sotheby’s of the Pierre Matisse estate, the source for a number of the exhibited works. Gallery exhibitions of Giacometti have not been wanting in Manhattan. Larry Gagosian had twenty-one works in a career-spanning show last year, and this summer Chozo Yoshii assembled fifteen, pre-1930 pieces, along with the artist’s “Tentative Catalogue of Early Works” and famous letter to Pierre Matisse. New York museums have been less attentive to the Swiss- born master; the last retrospectives were held at the Guggenheim twenty- one years ago, and at the Museum of Modern Art in 1965. (Major shows mounted by the Hirshhorn (1988-89) and the Museum of Modern in Paris (1991-92) did not travel.) The Acquavella catalogue contains essays by Giacometti biographer James Lord and former critic for the New York Times, Michael Brenson. -
Haber, John. “Pure Plastic Painting.” Haberarts.Com. April 9, 2013
Haber, John. “Pure Plastic Painting.” Haberarts.com. April 9, 2013. Christian Haub calls his constructions Floats, at Kathryn Markel through April 13, for they seem to float away from the wall. I like them almost as much for how firmly they hold. Haub constructs them from dyed acrylic, cast or cut into rectangular sheets. A separate strip, bolted to the wall, holds up the art, which can easily weigh twenty-five pounds. The work gains in mass from its typically vertical dimensions and repeated horizontals, but it looks ever so much lighter—and not just because of one’s expectations for plastics. I wanted to lift one off its mount and carry it away. It looks so light because it collects light, like oils. The work may sound like sculpture, but Haub is still painting. No wonder Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe has compared him to both media, in Charles Biederman and Ilya Bolotowsky. Haub’s broadest acrylic sheets are most often opaque, the narrower strips nearly transparent, with the simplicity of red, yellow, and blue. Both are at once his canvas and his color fields. They also allow a third dimension to the vertical and horizontal fields, coming right out of the picture plane—but they are first and foremost colors. Seeing them as color has its danger, too, though. One might mistake the hard edges, right angles, asymmetry, and all-over compositions for Piet Mondrian in Lucite. After all, Mondrian’s movement did call itself Neo-Plasticism. That (or Burgoyne Diller’s stringent adaptations of Mondrian to Joe Strummer Float, 2013, 52 x 48 x 4 inches America) would miss the third dimension and the luminous. -
Sunrise a Tribute to Our Founders
Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland Sunrise A Tribute to Our Founders Sunrise: A Tribute to Our Founders March 15 – August 11, 2019 Sunrise pays homage to our founders, Marjorie Talalay, Nina Sundell, and Mueller Family Gallery Agnes Gund, through artworks that speak to their passions and pursuits. The title references the logo of The New Gallery (moCa’s original name) Organized by Jill Snyder, that was designed by Roy Lichtenstein. A sun rising above a dotted plane Kohl Executive Director with graphic rays fanning through the sky, the logo was a metaphor for the with Kate Montlack, organization, suggesting the vitality and potential of contemporary art. Assistant Director of Exhibitions For this exhibition we invited the daughters of our founders to select works in honor of their mothers. This exhibition represents some of the 20th century’s most influential artists, and each previously has been shown at moCa. Agnes, together with her daughter Catherine, selected sculptural works by three female artists who reinforce her support for the early careers of women artists. Margaret Sundell chose works that reflect her late mother Nina’s professional relationship with Robert Rauschenberg and her embrace of his desire to work in the gap between art and life. Kathy, Nina, and Lauren Talalay’s choices represent meaningful professional and personal moments in their late mother Marjorie’s career as moCa’s longest serving Executive Director (1968–1993). Shown on the cover, Lichtenstein’s logo signals our vanguard legacy. Andy Warhol’s garishly hued portrait of China’s revolutionary leader, (Mao, 1972), Robert Rauschenberg’s collage of American trauma and triumph in the sixties (Signs, 1970), and Lynda Benglis’s vulvar minimalist sculpture (Lagniappe II Major support for this Glitter, 1977) reflect the sociopolitical climate of The New Gallery’s early exhibition provided by years. -
Discovering the Contemporary
of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

New York City, 1919–2007), describing a career that spanned the Atlantic Ocean and more than half a century, moving from the avant-garde cultural circles of postwar Rome to the banked dirt oval speedways of rural Maryland and Pennsylvania. “Salvatore Scarpitta: Traveler,” on view at the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden July 17, 2014 through January 11, 2015, is a focus exhibition of 19 works that surveys the wide-ranging oeuvre of an artist who escapes easy categorization and who endeavored to “introduce into the art experience the life experience.” Although he is at times viewed as a figure linking American Pop and Italian Arte Povera, Scarpitta cut his own trail through the 20th century, as seen in his four main bodies of work: the so- called Extramurals, the car-part paintings, the racecars and the sleds. Part of a series of exhibitions that in the Hirshhorn’s 40th anniversary year highlight strengths of the museum’s collection, including its in-depth holdings of works by key art-historical figures, “Salvatore Scarpitta: Traveler” is built on the recent acquisition of five major works—including the only two examples of the full-size racecars outside Europe—augmented by a number of loans. -

[email protected] Theo Wujcik: Cantos
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Lashonda Curry 727-896-266, ext. 236 813-447-1752 (c) [email protected] Theo Wujcik: Cantos Brings to Life Epic Literary Work A series by the late, prominent Ybor City artist features larger-than-life paintings inspired by Dante’s Inferno ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (March 29, 2019) – One of Tampa Bay’s best-known artists, Theo Wujcik (1936-2014), spent a decade creating a series drawn from the dark and profound literary classic, Dante’s Inferno. Now, those extraordinary paintings are the theme for Theo Wujcik: Cantos, a special exhibition organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg and inspired by two works in its collection. Gates of Hell (1987) and Canto II (1997) are centered around Inferno, the first part of the epic poem Divine Comedy by Italian poet Dante Alighieri (1265–1321). The painting Gates of Hell was acquired by the MFA in 2017, but has never been publicly shown at a museum in the Tampa Bay area until now. Other art institutions that own Wujcik’s work include the Art Institute of Chicago; Detroit Institute of Arts; Museum of Modern Art, NY; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition is on view April 13 through June 2, 2019. Addressing select cantos from the poem, the 10 paintings on view—many of them epically scaled— range from 1987–1997, and showcase Wujcik’s literal and symbolic interpretation of the captivating journey of Dante through Hell, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil. Many artists have been inspired by the moral drama of Dante’s Inferno, including English poet and painter William Blake (1757–1827) and French illustrator Gustave Doré (1832–1883). -
Protecting Our Wate R USF Researchers Find Solutions for Healthy Water Around the World First Look
THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE of the USF ALUMNI ASSOCIATION SPRING 2017 UNIVERSITY of SOUTH FLORIDA System Protecting our Wate r USF researchers find solutions for healthy water around the world First Look 2 UNIVERSITY of SOUTH FLORIDA Photos: KATY HENNIG MA ’16 Photos: KATY FOSSIL RECORD TO PRESERVE THE HEALTH OF OUR WATERWAYS for the future, we must understand their past, says Professor Emeritus Albert Hine, PhD. To unravel the geologic history of Florida and Tampa Bay, Hine dug back over 700 million years. His surprising results have been documented in his book, The Geological History of Florida – the Major Events that Formed the Sunshine State, and an award-winning multi-media project, Tampa Bay Water Story, produced by Katy Hennig, MA ’16. “In one of our projects, we discovered buried freshwater lake sediments in Tampa Bay,” Hine says. “From about 20,000 years ago to about 10,000 years ago, Tampa Bay was partly a freshwater lake. The best record of early humans in Florida, what they ate and how they lived, is right there slightly beneath the seafloor of the bay.” Hine, who specializes in geological oceanography, collects and uses fossils to help tell the story of Florida’s land and water. “Our appreciation for beauty helps remind us of the importance of protecting our natural environment,” he says. PHOTOS: Albert Hine holds a fossilized tooth from a Megalodon, or giant shark, found in the center of the Florida peninsula. A fossilized Ammonite shell, an ancient geologic relative to the contemporary nautilus mollusc, reveals the beauty and patterns of the mathematical Fibonacci Sequence. -
