  • Paul Feeley: Space Stands Still
    Press Release Paul Feeley: Space Stands Still 12 April – 6 June 2021 Waddington Custot is pleased to present Paul Feeley: Space Stands Still, the first solo exhibition of Feeley’s work in the UK for over 50 years. The exhibition shines a light on this significant but relatively overlooked artist who worked with Clement Greenberg and played a pivotal role in the careers of many seminal abstract artists, including Helen Frankenthaler. This exhibition charts the development of Feeley’s abstraction over the course of his brief but prolific career, presenting pieces from the 1950s through to those created just before his untimely death in 1966 at the age of 55. Over 20 works by Feeley, including oil on canvas paintings and three-dimensional sculptures in wood, are shown in the UK for the first time. The works are characterised by Feeley’s distinctive approach to symmetry and pattern through curving shapes in vibrant colours. The central forms and repeated motifs, often in symmetrical clusters, are reminiscent of vertebrae and teeth, molecular structures or jacks. Although often associated with Abstract Expressionism, Feeley broke with the movement in the 1940s. Speaking to Lawrence Alloway in 1964, the artist explained ‘I began to dwell on pyramids and things like that instead of on jungles of movement and action… The things I couldn’t forget in art, were things, which made no attempt to be exciting.’ And so Feeley’s work moved away from gestural abstraction and into ‘a quiescent art of stability, poise, and space’, as described by Douglas Dreishpoon in Imperfections by Chance (his 2015 essay on Feeley).

  • Kenneth Noland: Paintings, 1958-1968 Mitchell-Innes & Nash
    Kenneth Noland: Paintings, 1958-1968 Mitchell-Innes & Nash Chelsea March 17 – April 30, 2011 For Immediate Release: New York, February 2, 2011 - Mitchell-Innes & Nash is pleased to announce its first solo exhibition of paintings by Kenneth Noland, on view in the Chelsea gallery from March 17 - April 30. The exhibition, “Kenneth Noland: Paintings, 1958-1968,” will feature major paintings dating from the artist’s first decade of mature work. It will include significant early examples of the circle, stripe and chevron compositions that would become Noland’s signature forms throughout his career. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with an essay by art historian Paul Hayes Tucker. Kenneth Noland (1924-2010) is among the most influential Post- War abstract artists and one of the central figures of Color Field painting. His unprimed canvases with geometric forms painted in thin washes of pure, saturated color forged a new direction in abstract art. The artist’s stated aim was to explore "the infinite range and expressive possibilities of color." Later referred to in the New York Times as “paradigms of American plain statement,” these spare, reductive works were seen as bold departures from Abstract Expressionism and as ‘minimalist’ painting. This exhibition and extensive catalogue will present new insight into the artist’s life, his influences, and the impact American popular culture had on his art and vice-versa. In the late 1950s and early 1960s Noland began working with two motifs, the circle and the chevron, which would have lasting importance in his work. These seemingly simple forms resonated deeply within Noland’s history, calling to mind badges on military uniforms from his army days, logos for cars and other consumer products ubiquitous in the post-war economy, and even the theories of Wilhelm Reich whose writings Noland encountered in the 50s.

  • Columbus Museum of Art Debuts New Acquisitions (July 22, 2015)
    For Immediate Release: July 22, 2015 Media Contact: Nancy Colvin, 614.629.0303 [email protected] COLUMBUS MUSEUM OF ART DEBUTS NEW ACQUISITIONS (Columbus, OH) – The Columbus Museum of Art today announced the acquisition of four works of art that will make their CMA debut during the Museum’s Community Grand Opening, presented by PNC Arts Alive, on Sunday, October 25 celebrating the completion of the Museum’s new wing. The works, all by contemporary artists, span several artistic media including photography, painting, sound sculpture and video. Three Screens for Looking at Abstraction, CMA’s first work by American artist Josiah McElheny, is an installation comprised of three large, faceted screens made from mirrors and translucent projection cloth. An abstract film program is digitally projected onto each of these objects simultaneously. The films bounce off the mirrors in different directions and produce kaleidoscopic movement and sound. Film program can be changed each time the work is shown, creating an ever-changing experience. McElheny has had solo exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, Moderna Museet, Stockholm, the Whitechapel Gallery, London, the Wexner Center for the Arts, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. His work can be found in the collections of Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Tate Modern, and the Whitney Museum. Study for Strings is the first sound sculpture in CMA’s collection and the first work the Museum has acquired by Scottish artist and Turner Prize winner Susan Philipsz. Study for Strings is based on Jewish composer Pavel Haas’s 1943 work Study for Strings, written while he lived in the Theresienstadt concentration camp.

  • Paul Feeley: an Artist's Game with Jacks
    Garth Greenan Gallery 529 West 20th Street 10th floor New York NY 10011 212 929 1351 www.garthgreenan.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Garth Greenan (212) 929-1351 [email protected] www.garthgreenan.com Paul Feeley: An Artist’s Game with Jacks Garth Greenan Gallery is pleased to announce Paul Feeley: An Artist’s Game with Jacks, an exhibition of paintings, watercolors, and drawings at 529 West 20th Street. Opening on Thursday, April 7, 2016, the exhibition is the first presentation of Feeley’s work since his recent retrospective at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery (2014–2015; Columbus Museum of Art, 2015–2016). Seven of his brightly colored, abstract paintings will be on view, as well as a selection of related works on paper. The exhibition charts the evolution of the jack, Feeley’s signature form, from 1963 to 1964. Its shape, in various guises and combinations, reappears in these works, where its curves give lively rhythm to symmetrical patterns. Such simple shapes, which at the same time seem both poised and exuberant, are Feeley’s hallmark. Also, the jack shape was uniquely suited to Feeley’s ongoing interest in seriality and repetition, one shared by many Minimal and Pop artists but comparatively few of his color field “peers.” Untitled, 1964, oil-based enamel on canvas, 60 x 60 inches (more) Born in Des Moines, Iowa in 1910, Paul Feeley studied painting at Menlo College, Menlo Park, California and the Art Students League. After completing his training, Feeley began teaching, first at Cooper Union (1935–1939) and later at Bennington College.

  • Paul Feeley GARTH GREENAN GALLERY
    REVIEWS DECEMBER 2013 Paul Feeley GARTH GREENAN GALLERY Big, bold, and vibrant, Paul Feeley’s paintings are hard to miss. Rarely shown in the decades following his death in 1966, the artist’s sculptures and abstract canvases were given a major exhibition at Matthew Marks Gallery in 2002. Now we have this smaller show, featuring nine large paintings made between 1957 and 1962. Feeley’s style is distinctive. His forms hover on the cusp between biomorphic and severely geometric, consisting of a vocabulary of oblongs and rounded corners, simple shapes and curves informed by Moorish tile design and classical art. In the 1940s, Feeley broke with Abstract Expressionism. “I began to dwell on pyramids and things like that instead of on jungles of movement and action,” he said to Lawrence Alloway in 1964. “The things I couldn’t forget in art . were things . which made no attempt to be exciting.” In Ios, 1957, and Untitled, 1959, this show’s two earliest works, a washy backdrop of red encloses the blue shape of an oozing drip or drips (in Ios there is one; in Vespasian, 1960, oil-based enamel on canvas, 95 x 67”. Untitled, there are three). For both, he thinned his oil-based enamel paint before brushing it onto the canvas, adapting a technique he had learned from one of his former students, Helen Frankenthaler. Soon, however, Feeley’s application of paint changed, becoming flatter, less yielding. At the same time, he moved toward an increasing symmetry and compactness, an almost iconographic rigidity. Take, for example, the orange loops of Caligula, 1960, or the interlocking blue and crimson oblongs of Untitled (January 12), 1962, forms marked by simplicity and graphic pop.

  • Newsletter Bennington College Bennington, Vermont
    NEWSLETTER BENNINGTON COLLEGE BENNINGTON, VERMONT May 1964 , de 11 a ARTE The Art Division has been busy as a Breughel this season and, Breughel- 1 ike in turn, the season calls for "double takes" if individuals are to be dis­ tinguished from activities, and activities defined. Both out-of-doors and inside Commons Lounge, students' works of sculpture catch the eye and take, in contrast to a hesitant spring, firm hold of the viewer's fancy. Woodcarvings or composi­ tions, made of metal or what-have-you, al 1 are forthright, wise or witty pieces and of substantial size. At the other end of campus, too, excitement rules with­ out exception. So far, two shows have opened at the New Gallery of the Carriage Barn. The first was an all-out parade of Aegean 1 ight and colors, skillfully captured by the Drama Faculty's William Sherman, and brought back very much alive in a group of abstract water colors done during a sabbatical spent close to Athens and on Greek isles. The second, a collection of oils by Alexander Liberman, painter, sculptor and Executive Editor of Conde Nast Publications besides, offered the art world its first glimpse of gestural abstracts. In his new canvases, Mr. Liberman departed from his familiar hard-edge technique. Softnesses combined with strength came as a surprise. Ahead on the agenda for the New Gallery is a Maxfield Parrish retrospective, to be followed by a summer-long exhibit of works by the late Simon Moselsio. Paul Feeley's interest in a second look at Mr.
