Rosenthal Thanks Pressreleas ROBERTS PROJECTS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rachel Rosenthal Thanks: Collage Works from the 1970’s October 24 – December 12, 2020 Rachel Rosenthal Untitled, 1975 Mixed media collage, 15 x 18 in (38.1 x 45.7 cm) Roberts Projects is delighted to announce Thanks: Collage Works from the 1970’s, an exhibition of works on paper by Rachel Rosenthal (1926-2015). Organized in collaboration with the Rachel Rosenthal Estate, the exhibition features never before exhibited collage works from the 1970's documenting Rosenthal’s autobiographical reflection of a pivotal time in her early artistic development. The show takes its title after the artist’s second performance at Wilshire Plaza West, Westwood, California (1975), in which she thanked those who had actively done something important for her, with the audience participating in the familiar roles of “father,” “mother” and “friend.” The performance marked the year of her mother’s death, twenty years after her father’s. At the end of performance, each of the participants received a small box containing a unique miniature collage work from the artist. “Thanks was a piece that also used people and animals that I had known and with whom I had had dealings that required gratitude, both sincere and ironic, and that for one reason or another I had never had a chance to thank. And so I used people in the audience—gave them a lit taper and turned them into the particular recipient of my gratitude and then I explained what the reason was for the gratitude and I thanked them and I gave them a little present each. And with each instance, of course, some relationship or some event in my past surfaced.”1 Rosenthal’s collages are personal and familial, highlighting her investigation into the relationships between the body, spirituality, sexuality and the home as both residence and refuge. Early childhood experiences of exile and forced displacement informed much of her adult experiences and appear as overlapping themes in her work. This exhibition aims to show her collages as works in progress - that 1 Roth, Moira Oral history interview with Rachel Rosenthal,1989 September 2-3, transcript of an oral history conducted in 1989 by Moira Roth, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington.

Materially influenced by the Avant-garde and 1950s Modern Art, they feature energetic and gestural lines, nontraditional materials, radical subject matter and a shift of the pictoral surface from vertical to horizontal. A prolific artist and generous friend, Rosenthal’s large social group was vibrant. While in New York, she was connected with prominent members of the Second Wave of Abstract Expressionists in the early 1950s before decamping to Los Angeles, where she then became involved with the nascent modern art scene surrounding Ferus Gallery on La Cienega Boulevard. Many of her works created during this time incorporate material elements from her close friends and peers, as seen in the titular work Untitled (1975). An archival photograph sees Rosenthal, centered between her French classmates, flanked by twin portraits of her taken by artist and experimental filmmaker Wallace Berman. A Star of David pendant hangs over a drawing of a stone, which radiates lines outwards to small multi-colored geometric shapes. The overall effect is that of a levitating mass suspended by the sun’s rays. Stones, especially in their rough, natural state, were very special to Rachel; the daughter of a pearl merchant and jeweler, her father would have undoubtedly distilled this enduring interest and 5801 WASHINGTON BOULEVARD CULVER CITY CA 90232 [email protected] ROBERTSprojectsLA.COM TEL +1 323 549 0223 ROBERTS PROJECTS appreciation of the natural world, and its transformative qualities, in her as a child. The collage 5 Decades (1975), marking her 50th year, shows five stones arranged in an arching formation and deftly painted in crisp watercolor. Stylistically, they bring to mind comparisons to the floral compositions of painter Jan Davidsz, the intricate prints and watercolor sketches by Albrecht Dürer, or even the ornithological renderings of naturalist illustrator John James Audubon. Rosenthal also employed stones and rocks in her sculptural altars and totem poles made during this time, and made clay sculptures which took on similar characteristics, which can be seen in the photograph collaged within 5 Decades (1975). Rachel Rosenthal Replays, performance, Orlando Gallery, Encino, California, November 14, 1975 ABOUT RACHEL ROSENTHAL Rachel Rosenthal was a key figure in the history of post-war California art, responsible for developing and supporting many prominent areas of theater, performance and feminist art in Los Angeles. Her practice incorporated painting, collage, sculpture and artist’s books, in addition to her best-known full- length performance art pieces which combined theater, dance, costumes and live music. Rosenthal was a leading figure in the L.A. Women’s Art Movement and in 1973 co-founded the Womanspace Gallery, a cooperatively run gallery devoted to showcasing and supporting work by female artists. She was also one of the first artists to perform at the Los Angeles Woman’s Building. During this time she developed close relationships with other artists including Judy Chicago, Miriam Schapiro, Betye Saar and Barbara T. Smith. By 1989, she had written, created, directed and acted in more than 30 full-length performances. Born in Paris of Russian parents, her family fled Europe during WWII first to Portugal, then Brazil, and finally ended in New York in 1941. She became a US citizen in 1945 and studied art at the influential Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts in addition to taking classes at the New School for Social Research. Shortly after the war, Rosenthal returned to Paris where she was introduced to “The Theatre of Cruelty,” developed by the French avant-garde Antonin Artaud. The next few years saw Rosenthal frequently traveling between Paris and New York, absorbing new ideas and methodologies from both cities. In Paris, Rosenthal met composer John Cage and choreographer Merce Cunningham in 1948, who introduced 5801 WASHINGTON BOULEVARD CULVER CITY CA 90232 [email protected] ROBERTSprojectsLA.COM TEL +1 323 549 0223 ROBERTS PROJECTS her to the burgeoning group of artists, essayists, poets and composers who made up, in part, the Second Wave of Abstract Expressionists in New York; artists she had close personal and working relationships included Ray Johnson, Richard Lippold, M.C. Richards, Cy Twombly, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, the latter of which she had a brief relationship with during 1954-55 when the two rented studio spaces in the same building on Pearl Street, the same studio where Johns created his encaustic Flag series. Buoyed by the desire to start anew, Rosenthal moved to Los Angeles in 1955. There she started the Instant Theatre, an experimental theater company inspired by the ideas of improvisation and disjuncture first championed by Antonin Artaud. In her efforts supporting the L.A. Women’s Art Movement, including cofounding the Womanspace Gallery in 1973, Rosenthal developed close relationships with other artists including Judy Chicago, Miriam Schapiro, Betye Saar and Barbara T. Smith. From 1975 until her death in 2015, Rosenthal focused primarily on creating Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns in Johns’s Pearl Street studio, New York, ca. 1954; new works, writing and hosting Photo: Rachel Rosenthal performances, and teaching. Rosenthal was a National Endowment for the Arts, J. Paul Getty Foundation, and California Arts Council Fellow, and in 1994 was awarded the Women's Caucus for the Arts Honor Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Arts. In 2000, she was named Cultural Treasure of Los Angeles and received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association of Performing Arts. In 2020, the Getty Research Institute acquired the “Rachel Rosenthal Papers, ca. 1920s – 2015,” which extensively cover every phase of Rosenthal’s career. The archive contains unique unpublished materials, including more than 60 diaries and journals that contain comprehensive writing, notes on performances, and drafts of scripts. Other notebooks contain membership records for Instant Theatre, as well as notes on performances, including a visitors’ book signed by Wallace Berman, Lee Mullican, Wolfgang Paalen and Luchita Hurtado, among others. Rosenthal also produced several unique artist’s books, which are also deposited in the archive.

  • Luchita Hurtado Dark Years
    HAUSER & WIRTH Press Release Luchita Hurtado Dark Years 31 January – 6 April 2019 Hauser & Wirth New York, 69th Street Opening reception: Thursday 31 January, 6 – 8 pm ‘When that first photograph was taken of the world from space and you saw this little ball in blackness… I became aware of what I felt I was. I feel very much that a tree is a relative, a cousin. Everything in this world, I find, I’m related to.’ – Luchita Hurtado, 2018 New York... For more than seventy years, Los Angeles-based artist Luchita Hurtado has merged abstraction and representation with mystical effect, exploring connections between the body and its larger context – nature, the environment, and the cosmos – in an effort to express universality and transcendence. ‘Dark Years,’ Hurtado’s first solo exhibition with Hauser & Wirth, focuses on the artist’s early works from the 1940s to the 1950s, a period defined by prolific experimentation. Comprising of crayon and ink paintings on board and paper, graphite and ink drawings, and oil paintings on canvas, the works on view range stylistically from surrealist figuration and geometric patterning to biomorphic forms executed with expressive acuity. Together, they underscore the vast scope of Hurtado’s early expression and illuminate the origins of an artistic output that would continue to evolve for decades to come. Hurtado’s multicultural life and career reflect in the eclectic mediums and formal techniques of her oeuvre. Born in Maiquetia, Vargas, Venezuela in 1920, she emigrated to the United States in 1928, settling in New York where she attended classes at the Art Students League.

    OTIS Ben Maltz Gallery WB Exhibition Checklist 1 | Page of 58 (2012_Jan_23) GUIDE TO THE EXHIBITION Doin’ It in Public: Feminism and Art at the Woman’s Building October 1, 2011–January 28, 2012 Ben Maltz Gallery, Otis College of Art and Design Introduction “Doin’ It in Public” documents a radical and fruitful period of art made by women at the Woman’s Building—a place described by Sondra Hale as “the first independent feminist cultural institution in the world.” The exhibition, two‐volume publication, website, video herstories, timeline, bibliography, performances, and educational programming offer accounts of the collaborations, performances, and courses conceived and conducted at the Woman’s Building (WB) and reflect on the nonprofit organization’s significant impact on the development of art and literature in Los Angeles between 1973 and 1991. The WB was founded in downtown Los Angeles in fall 1973 by artist Judy Chicago, art historian Arlene Raven, and designer Sheila Levrant de Bretteville as a public center for women’s culture with art galleries, classrooms, workshops, performance spaces, bookstore, travel agency, and café. At the time, it was described in promotional materials as “a special place where women can learn, work, explore, develop their own point of view and share it with everyone. Women of every age, race, economic group, lifestyle and sexuality are welcome. Women are invited to express themselves freely both verbally and visually to other women and the whole community.” When we first conceived of “Doin’ It in Public,” we wanted to incorporate the principles of feminist art education into our process.

Vera Lutter: Museum in the Camera features the compelling photographs made during her two-year residency. Lutter uses one of the oldest optical technologies still in use, that of the camera obscura. Before the invention of photography, it was known that if light traveled through a tiny hole into a darkened room, an image of the external world (off which the light rays had reflected) would re-form upside down on a wall opposite the tiny opening. By building room-sized cameras and placing unexposed photo paper across from a pinhole opening, Lutter has adopted the camera obscura as her singular working method, resulting in photographs with an ethereal, otherworldly beauty.

Support is provided by Sharyn and Bruce Charnas and Chara Schreyer and Gordon Freund. All exhibitions at LACMA are underwritten by the LACMA Exhibition Fund.

  • Exhibition Backgrounder
    ^ exhibition backgrounder Exhibition: Luchita Hurtado: I Live I Die I Will Be Reborn Dates: February 16–May 3, 2020 Location: BCAM, Level 3, Nathanson Gallery Image Captions: Page 3 The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents Luchita Hurtado: I Live I Die I Will Be Reborn, the first exhibition in the United States to showcase the remarkable eight-decade career of ninety-nine-year-old artist Luchita Hurtado (Venezuela, b. 1920). Prior to 2016, the breadth of Hurtado’s artistic practice was largely unknown, as her works were kept in storage and out of public view for most of her life. The exhibition traces Hurtado’s forays into abstraction, experiments with language, engagements with nature and ecology, and, most significantly, her persistent recourse to self-portraiture and the human figure. LACMA’s presentation of Luchita Hurtado: I Live I Die I Will Be Reborn is curated by Jennifer King, Associate Curator of Contemporary Projects. The exhibition originated at the Serpentine Galleries (London), where it was curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director, and Rebecca Lewin, Curator, Exhibitions and Design. Of note in the exhibition is Luchita Hurtado’s Untitled (c. 1951), a work in LACMA’s collection recently acquired during the 2019 Collectors Committee Weekend, a gift of LACMA trustee Janet Dreisen Rappaport. “Luchita Hurtado: I Live I Die I Will Be Reborn is a long-overdue survey that demonstrates the incredible scope of Hurtado’s work, and I am thrilled we are able to present the exhibition in Los Angeles, her adopted hometown since the early 1950s, said Jennifer King, exhibition curator.
