With nearly seventy paintings—including works from private collections that have never been exhibited in a museum setting—Hans Hofmann: The Nature of Abstraction presents an unprecedented and fresh look at Hofmann’s studio practice, focusing in particular on his continuously experimental approach to painting and the expressive potential of color, form, and space. On view at BAMPFA from February 27 through July 21, the exhibition will then travel to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA September 21, 2019 through January 6, 2020. Accompanied by a fully illustrated scholarly catalog on Hofmann’s career, the exhibition marks the most significant opportunity to reexamine the artist’s legacy since his death in 1966. Since that time, discourse around Hofmann has focused primarily on the remarkable color plane abstractions he created the 1950s and ’60s, which were the focus of major exhibitions at New York’s Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art during his lifetime.

Mazow Curator of American Art, Palmer Museum of Art Affiliate Associate Professor of Art History Joyce Henri Robinson Curator, Palmer Museum of Art Affiliate Associate Professor of Art History Adam Rome Associate Professor of History Craig Zabel Associate Professor of Art History Head of the Department of Art History * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT In 1943, Peggy Guggenheim‘s Art of This Century gallery staged the first large-scale exhibition of collage in the United States. This show was notable for acquainting the New York School with the medium as its artists would go on to embrace collage, creating objects that ranged from small compositions of handmade paper to mural-sized works of torn and reassembled canvas. Despite the significance of this development, art historians consistently overlook collage during the era of Abstract Expressionism. This project examines four artists who based significant portions of their oeuvre on papier collé during this period (i.e. the late 1940s and early 1950s): Lee Krasner, Robert Motherwell, Anne Ryan, and Esteban Vicente. Working primarily with fine art materials in an abstract manner, these artists challenged many of the characteristics that supposedly typified collage: its appropriative tactics, disjointed aesthetics, and abandonment of ―high‖ culture.

  • Charles and Ray Eames's Multiscreen Exhibitions
    CHARLES AND RAY EAMES’S MULTISCREEN EXHIBITIONS: Cybernetic Visions of Computing, Communication, Complexity, and Control [ A Design Primer For Re-“THINK”-ing The American Century ] Cormac Quinn Rada HAVERFORD COLLEGE Department of History April 2017 2 Abstract The American Century denotes a period of U.S. political, economic, and cultural dominance in the twentieth century that reached its height in the middle of the century after World War II and before the Vietnam War. Midcentury America is an artifact in our contemporary time, popularly invoked by politicians and ubiquitous in the vocabularies of contemporary aesthetics. Focusing on the midcentury designers, Charles and Ray Eames, this thesis examines the role of design in articulating, navigating, and reacting the emergence of the Information Age, the Cold War, and the Postmodern condition. Beyond providing the material objects that constituted the midcentury world, Ray and Charles Eames abstracted the problems plaguing twentieth-century America and designed its solutions. The computing and systems revolution that occurred as a result of the war, led to an influx of data, a feeling of complexity, increased specialization, and the development of tools to manage this fracturing. Viewing design as one of those tool, Ray and Charles Eames developed their Multiscreen exhibitions as a new tool for seeing, training viewers to make decisions using methods of designs for abstracting, structuring, and solving increasingly complex problems. The designers’ tools of vision and communication led to a redefinition of the role design historically played. The Eameses multiscreen technology and their three exhibitions – A Sample Lesson (1953), Glimpses of the U.S.A (1959), and Think (1964)- serve as a locus to piece together intersecting histories, exposing the contending ambitions, techniques of vision, and technologies of control and freedom.

    Ray and Charles working on a conceptual model for 'Mathematica" c. 1960 Library of Congress Archives Byra J. and William P. Wreden Prize for Collecting Books and Related Materials. February, 2011 Submitted by: Michael JG Turri (Expected) MS Design 2011 A PASSIONATE COLLECTOR After an exhilarating evening pounding the pavement in a cheap plastic Star Wars Storm Trooper costume, I rushed home to sort my Halloween take. With a yellow legal pad and blue felt-tipped pen in hand, I started cataloguing: Snickers bar, snack size, one; Kit Kat, full size, three… I’ve always been a collector. Stickers, rocks and minerals, coins, comic books, sports cards, found objects, etc. Everything organized, labeled, catalogued and protected. From an early age, collecting taught me respect for objects, about their meaning, and the markets that are created to trade them. In retrospect, my desire to collect and organize was a manifestation of my efforts to understand the system of things. It should come as no surprise that I studied ecology and evolutionary biology as an undergraduate at Cornell University. These fields of biology seek the systematic organization of life and study how form and function change through time. Although I decided not to pursue a career in biology, I readily apply this scientific rigor to my collecting pursuits. CHARLES AND RAY EAMES I first discovered the furniture of famed 20th century American designers Charles and Ray Eames in 1998. I was working as an investment banker and fell in love with design and, for the first time, became passionate about history. I read voraciously about design and began collecting, buying and selling 20th century design artifacts from all over the world, taking advantage of fluctuating currency rates and inefficient markets created by the then nascent Internet.

We are surrounded today, everywhere, all the time, by arrays of multiple, simulta- neous images. In the streets, airports, shopping centers, and gyms, but also on our computers and television sets. The idea of a single image commanding our attention has faded away. It seems as if we need to be distracted in order to concentrate. As if we—all of us living in this new kind of space, the space of information—could be diagnosed en masse with Attention Deficit Disorder. The state of distraction in the metropolis, described so eloquently by Walter Benjamin early in the twentieth century, seems to have been replaced by a new form of distraction, which is to say a new form of attention. Rather than wandering cinematically through the city, we now look in one direction and see many juxtaposed moving images, more than we can possibly synthesize or reduce to a single impression. We sit in front of our computers on our ergonomically perfected chairs, staring with a fixed gaze at many simultaneously “open” windows through which different kinds of information stream toward us. We hardly even notice it. It seems natural, as if we were simply breathing in the information. How would one go about writing a history of this form of perception? Should one go back
