WELLESLEY, MASS.- David Hall Gallery is presenting an exhibition of early works by the American artist Ralph Coburn, 1923 2018. Working across canvases, drawings, and collages between France and the United States, Ralph Coburn redefined the contours of abstract art through a substantial body of work spanning from the late 1940s to the late 1980s. In close dialogue with Ellsworth Kelly during their formative years in France, Coburns innovative approach deconstructed the traditional conventions of painting, dismantling its spatial logic and reimagining its interaction with the viewer. He was among the first postwar artists to question the very foundations of the medium and propose a serious rethinking of the painted canvas format. Yet, his radical inventions from the Latin etymology radix (meaning root) deserve renewed ... More |

Solo exhibition of new work by Naomi Kawanishi Reis opens at Morgan Lehman GalleryNEW YORK, NY.- Morgan Lehman Gallery is presenting Strange Light, a solo exhibition of new work by Naomi Kawanishi Reis. Through layers of color pencil, pigment prints, acrylic-washed washi cutouts, and semi-precious stones, Reis finds reprieve in the quiet moments of everyday life. The series particularly works through grief, an empty cavern left by loss, with the meditative repetition of manual labor. Drawn from photographs taken on her phone over the past decade, the works search for answers about unseen and unknowable worlds beyond the physical plane, imbuing the landscape with an intensified, animistic presence. The exhibition captures in shadows and glowing refracted light what Reis describes as unheroic moments scenes that take shape in a reflection in a window or a passing glance at a roadside garden at dusk. ... More Xenia Hausner's first solo exhibition in the Americas opens at KÖNIG MEXICO CITYMEXICO CITY.- KÃNIG MEXICO CITY is presenting ALL PASSION SPENT, Xenia Hausners first solo exhibition in the Americas. Hausner borrowed the exhibition title from the famous novel of the same name by British author Vita Sackville-West, who led an unconventional life and marriage during the 1930s, living apart from her husband and engaging in relationships with both men and women. The spirit of freedom and strength of both Sackville-West and her protagonists seems to flow through the works on display, which predominantly feature women. When asked why she mainly paints women, Hausner once explained: "Women are more interesting because they are more contradictory and complex. They have to be more capable, and therefore, they are more expressive." In the exhibitions titular piece, we see two women in a close ...

More Betty Cuningham Gallery opens an exhibition of works by Jake BerthotNEW YORK, NY.- Betty Cuningham Gallery presents the Wound is the Place the Light Enters, October 14 through December 6, 2024. The exhibition and online viewing room features 5 paintings and 8 works on paper by Jake Berthot. The selection focuses upon Skulls, a subject that Berthot returned to intermittently up to the time of his death in December of 2014. Throughout his 45-year career, Berthot held on to the geometry of the grid (all his sketches are grids) and the poetry of an indeterminate space. Twisting the grid to achieve several vanishing points allowed him to realize, as he would call it, a Rothko-like space. In his early abstract work, the central, deep space is framed by a painted edge. In the 80s, the oval enters, tautly fixed by the grid, confronting the viewer as a portrait. After Berthot moves from the city in the 90s, trees, ... More Pola Museum of Art presents 'Philippe Parreno: Places and Spaces'HAKONE.- The Pola Museum of Art presents Philippe Parrenos Places and Spaces, his largest solo presentation to date in Japan.

Drawing on a variety of media including film, sound, objects, and text, but also advanced technologies including AI and robotics, allows him to deconstruct narrative ... More |
