  • Modernism 1 Modernism
    Modernism 1 Modernism Modernism, in its broadest definition, is modern thought, character, or practice. More specifically, the term describes the modernist movement, its set of cultural tendencies and array of associated cultural movements, originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching changes to Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Modernism was a revolt against the conservative values of realism.[2] [3] [4] Arguably the most paradigmatic motive of modernism is the rejection of tradition and its reprise, incorporation, rewriting, recapitulation, revision and parody in new forms.[5] [6] [7] Modernism rejected the lingering certainty of Enlightenment thinking and also rejected the existence of a compassionate, all-powerful Creator God.[8] [9] In general, the term modernism encompasses the activities and output of those who felt the "traditional" forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were becoming outdated in the new economic, social, and political conditions of an Hans Hofmann, "The Gate", 1959–1960, emerging fully industrialized world.

Another paradigmatic exhortation was also as a teacher of art, and a modernist theorist articulated by philosopher and composer Theodor Adorno, who, in the both in his native Germany and later in the U.S. During the 1930s in New York and California he 1940s, challenged conventional surface coherence and appearance of introduced modernism and modernist theories to [10] harmony typical of the rationality of Enlightenment thinking.

  • Press Release (Pdf)
    S TEPHEN H ALLER G ALLERY NEXUS July 1– August 7, 2010 Stephen Haller Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibition: NEXUS a gathering together of key works by gallery artists and a forecast of the upcoming season. This group exhibition reveals the connections, the shared sensibility of the gallery’s core group of international artists. LINDA STOJAK’S paintings may be thought of as “psychological self-portraits.” Her iconography is the human body. Her work emerges out of a great tradition of painting and yet stands as uniquely her own. Linda Stojak’s paintings are an exploration of the very essence of what it is to be human. Her work is a highly charged yet subtle exploration of the personal, characterized by immediacy and a palpable painterly quality, and marked by a disquieting beauty. Exciting new photographer KATE O'DONOVAN COOK’S The Waldorf Series explores issues of gender and the ambiguity of relationships. O'Donovan Cook plays with the idealization of a romantic relationship, subverting it by portraying both characters: she is the male and the female engaged in this ambiguous scenario. Her work is characterized by explorations of identity through role playing in ways both theatrical and fantastical. The Waldorf Series is in the permanent collection of the Herbert F Johnson Museum at Cornell. American painter RON EHRLICH is known for achieving rich surfaces and subtleties of tone. Ehrlich melds the textures rooted in Japanese ceramics with the spontaneity and vitality of action painting. Years spent in Japan studying the art of ceramics at a monastery profoundly influenced Ehrlich’s approach to painting.

  • Dan Flavin Was Born in 1933 in New York City, Where He Later Studied Art History at the New School for Social Research and Columbia University
    DAN FLAVIN Dan Flavin was born in 1933 in New York City, where he later studied art history at the New School for Social Research and Columbia University. His first solo show was at the Judson Gallery, New York, in 1961. Flavin made his first work with electric light that same year, and he began using commercial fluorescent tubes in 1963. Fluorescent light was commercially available and its defined systems of standard sized tubes and colors defied the very tenets of Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, from which the artist sought to break free. In opposition to the gestural and hand-crafted, these impersonal prefabricated industrial objects offered, what Donald Judd described as “…a means new to art.”1 Seizing the anonymity of the fluorescent tube, Flavin employed it as a simple and direct means to implement a whole new artistic language of his own. He worked within this self-imposed reductivist framework for the rest of his career, endlessly experimenting with serial and systematic compositions to wed formal relationships of luminous light, color, and sculptural space. Vito Schnabel Gallery presented Dan Flavin, to Lucie Rie and Hans Coper, master potters in St. Moritz from December 19, 2017 — February 4, 2018. The exhibition featured nine light pieces from the series dedicated to Rie, nine works from his series dedicated to Coper, and a selection of ceramics by Rie and Coper from Flavin’s personal collection. Major solo exhibitions of Flavin’s work have been presented at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa; Staatliche Kunsthalle, Baden- Baden; St. Louis Art Museum, Missouri; Morgan Library and Museum, New York; and Dan Flavin: A Retrospective, an international touring exhibition that included the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Hayward Gallery, London; the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich.

  • Press Release for Immediate Release Berry Campbell Gallery Presents an Exhibition of Represented Artists
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BERRY CAMPBELL GALLERY PRESENTS AN EXHIBITION OF REPRESENTED ARTISTS NEW YORK, NEW YORK, June 20, 2019– Berry Campbell Gallery is pleased to announce its annual exhibition, Summer Selections, a presentation of work from each of the gallery’s represented twenty-eight artists and estates. Also, included in the show will be additional works from the gallery’s inventory by Sam Gilliam, Nancy Graves, Peter Halley, Paul Jenkins, Philip Pavia, and Larry Poons. This exhibition offers a chance to view a wide variety of paintings and works on paper by important mid-century and contemporary artists. Summer Selections will open August 6 and will continue through August 16, 2019. EDWARD AVEDESIAN was born in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1936 and attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. After moving to New York City in the early 1960s, he joined the dynamic art scene in Greenwich Village, frequenting the Cedar Tavern on Tenth Street, associating with the critic Clement Greenberg, and joining a new generation of abstract artists, such as Darby Bannard, Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski, and Larry Poons. Avedisian was among the leading figures to emerge in the New York art world during the 1960s. An artist who mixed the hot colors of Pop Art with the cool, more analytical qualities of Color Field painting, he was instrumental in the exploration of new abstract methods to examine the primacy of optical experience. WALTER DARBY BANNARD, a leader in the development of Color Field Painting in the late 1950s, was committed to color-based and expressionist abstraction for over five decades.

    The Four Seasons Baltimore Showcases City’s Largest Hotel Art Collection The Four Seasons Baltimore has opened with the city’s largest hotel art collection. The collection, assembled by Mark Myers of Atlantic Arts, includes museum-quality pieces informed by the Washington Color School. “The credit really has to go to the owners, Michael Beatty and his team at Harbor East Development, for having the vision to provide a first quality collection in a commercial setting. They were very specific with what they wanted to achieve with this collection,” according to Myers. Acknowledging the influencers and the influenced, the collection was assembled considering antecedents and derivatives of the Color School movement. In a gallery ambience, visitors can view the art, which includes works from well-known artists such as Gene Davis, Sam Francis, Paul Jenkins, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Sam Gilliam, Larry Poons, Ronald Davis, Larry Zox, and Frank Stella. The collection also includes pieces from renowned contemporary artists, including Susie Lee, Craig Kaft, Lisa Nankivil, and Baltimore-based Karl Connolly . Stand-out pieces in the collection are original works by Sam Gilliam (American, b. 1933) and Ronald Davis (American, b. 1937). “Suite 16” Richard Anuszkiewicz (American, b. 1930) The large Anuszkiewicz works in the lobby are the set of four dramatic optical art prints from 1977 titled “Suite 16”. Anuszkiewicz, one of the founders of Optical Art, a late 1960s and early 1970s art movement, was hailed by Life magazine in 1964 as "one of the new wizards of Op," and his work was later described by the New York Times: “The drama -- and that feels like the right word -- is in the subtle chemistry of complementary colors, which makes the geometry glow as if light were leaking out from behind it.” “Quarterdeck” “Moby Dick” “Ahab’s Leg” “The Hyena” Frank Stella (American, b.
