Robert Motherwell is unquestionably one of the most significant American artists of the twentieth century. He joined Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko and others who set out to change the face of American painting. These painters renounced the prevalent American style. Influenced by the Surrealists, these “Abstract Expressionists” sought to create essential images that revealed emotional truth and authenticity of feeling.

Recognized as both an accomplished painter and print maker, this exhibition focuses on Motherwell’s monotypes. A monotype is a single unique print created by the direct transfer of paint or ink applied to a glass or metal plate onto paper. In the catalogue that accompanies this exhibition, Morgan Spangle writes:  Motherwell had taken to the painterly monotype process quite naturally, and the results are…powerful abstract forms expressed directly by a masterful hand on the plate, exploiting and accepting the medium’s unpredictable nature after it’s run through the press.

Jerald Melberg Gallery will host a coffee and discussion with Jennifer Sudul Edwards, Ph.D., Independent Curator, and Morgan Spangle, Executive Director of the Dedalus Foundation, on Saturday, March 23 at 11am.  This event is free and open to the public.

A catalogue accompanies the exhibition.

This is the first show, here at Rehs Contemporary, where we had an open call to the PoetsArtists group. After receiving more than 100 submissions, Lance Rehs (curator), narrowed the selection down to just 30 works. In that process, a commonality began to emerge… the act of observation.

The act of observation is so central to the artistic process, it is only natural to explore that through an art exhibition! The title, I Observe, serves as a multi-dimensional way of understanding the exhibit… it touches on the artist’s observations that are communicated through the work, the observation of something by the subject within the work, as well as the observation of the work by others.

We hope you will join us in this celebration of awareness… in a time where society seems to be ever fragmented, it is paramount that we strive for common ground; a sense of understanding. That starts with us being more in-tune with and conscious of our surroundings… the things we observe.

Teresa Currea’s First Solo Exhibition at BEA. In her most recent work, the artist addresses the aesthetic experience of visiting sacred places, marveling at the variety of elements through which beliefs are communicated. She refers to architecture, color, shapes, and characters to create her universes from a new perspective. For this show, Currea translates her fascination for religious iconography into her meticulous language of drawing, assemblage and collage, wanting to convey to her audience how it isn’t necessary to practice a particular religion in order to be moved by it.

Art on Paper returns to Manhattan’s Pier 36 from March 7 through 10th for its fifth edition, with eighty-eight galleries featuring top modern and contemporary paper-based art. Art on Paper’s medium-driven focus lends itself to significant projects – unique moments that have set the fair apart and established an important destination for the arts in New York City.
