Gilescat20-200714-Website.Pdf 2020/2021 1 Foreword When I started this piece in early March, the number of confirmed Coronavirus infections worldwide had just passed 100,000. Today, as some museums in the UK re-open, the number of confirmed cases worldwide is nearly 11 million, with over half a million deaths across 188 countries. Early March seems like a distant world, with countless lives now ended prematurely, and many families, households, and businesses facing an uncertain future. Phrases like “the new normal”, “socially-distanced”, “Zooming”, “online learning”, “shielding” and “household bubbling” have all now entered our lingua franca. We’ve also learned more about the effects of this terrible disease, how it seems to affect certain communities and age groups more than others, and how it may have existed undetected for many weeks, even months, before the first recorded cases emerged in January. This much still seems certain: the number of reported infections will rise, and it’s likely that all of us will have to keep on changing the way we live: in travel, work, shopping, education and business. The publishing world has seen the shuttering of bookstores, a decline in books sales, short-notice movements in production from the Far East to Europe and back again, and the cancellation of the Bologna, London and Paris book fairs. While Frankfurt Book Fair is officially set to happen in October, it’s unclear how many of us will physically visit it. But we can, and must, build some collective head-space away from Head Office and General Enquiries the seeming unstoppable narrative of anxiety-inducing events, and look D Giles Limited 66 High Street forward to a better place, where difficult truths are confronted, discussed Lewes and debated, and resolved. Much has been said since March of seeing the BN7 1XG gilesltd.com world around us afresh, of rebuilding better; and perhaps the answer lies, in T: +44 (0)1273 480711 part, in seeing beauty and energy in the most unlikely places – whether it’s Managing Director the survival of Botticelli’s Ideal Portrait of a Lady (“Simonetta Vespucci”), Dan Giles emerging out of the rubble of post-war Europe (The Berlin Masterpieces in [email protected] America Paintings.

I look for the greatness I can use”—Norman Bluhm An abstract painter of tremendous imagination, Norman Bluhm (1920–1999) was truly transcontinental, involved with the postwar art worlds of both Paris and New York. After serving in World War II, he moved to Florence and then to Paris, where in 1947 he began formal training as a painter and joined a circle of American expatriate artists that included Joan Mitchell, Ed Clark, and Sam Francis. In 1956 Bluhm relocated to New York and became part of the Abstract Expressionist movement. Metamorphosis presents a selection of Bluhm’s visually arresting work produced over five decades (1947–1998), including the monumental late works produced in his studios in upstate New York and Vermont. Presenting two new essays by leading scholars and 88 artworks interspersed with archival photographs and short texts, this monograph also includes a previously unpublished interview with the artist by Paul Cummings, a detailed chronology, and an extensive bibliography.

Starkman Contributions by Monica Bethe, Kikuchi Riyo, Yukio Lippit, Nagasaki Iwao, Nii Rie and Stephanie Su A stunning visual celebration of the kimono as an object of art and an historic emblem of Japanese culture Chiso, a 465-year-old Kyoto-based draper, is one of the oldest and most prestigious kimono-makers operating in Japan today. Kimono Couture highlights Chiso’s textile and design innovations and its unwavering commitment to beauty over the centuries. It showcases fourteen exquisite kimono from Chiso’s collection, including a wedding kimono specially commissioned for Worcester Art Museum, and a kimono designed by Yohji Yamamoto, who has been working with Chiso since the 1990s. An interview with Chiso senior designer Imai Atsuhiro focuses on the commission of the wedding kimono and on Chiso’s mission to combine timeless style with the pressures of fleeting fashion. The authors illuminate the continuing role of kimono in contemporary Japan and discuss Chiso’s network of 600 artisans and the importance of endangered techniques and textile crafts in the 21st century. Included are designs, textiles, archive photographs and of course, glorious images of the kimono themselves.

Born in 1939, Donaldson was chosen in 1964 for the landmark New Generation exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery which included Allen Jones and David Hockney and he became the first Pop Artist to sell his work to the Tate. Like Hockney, Donaldson dreamed of a quiet and relaxed life in southern California and moved to Los Angeles between 1966 and 1968, where he painted daringly simple compositions using saturated colour and sensual forms.

  • 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.
