Richard Pousette-Dart, working in New York in the 1940s, created beautiful, layered paintings as well as experimenting with drawing, photography, and sculpture. He played a key role in the genesis of Abstract Expressionism and the New York School, which transformed America in the post-war years.
“With their bold colors, encrusted surfaces, and luminous orbs, his paintings don’t so much hang on the wall as float in front of it” - Roberta Smith, New York Times, 2007
The exhibition will be on view October 23, 2018 - January 6, 2019.
Susan York (American, b. 1951)
1:1 Foundation IV, no. 1 (trans-geometric view) @ The Drawing Center, 2017
Graphite pencil, 32 x 52 inches.
Santa Fe-based artist Susan York is known for her use of graphite, both in spare, minimalist drawings and abstract sculptures consisting of blocks of graphite. The present drawing is related to a long-term installment at the Drawing Center in which York replicated in graphite some of the foundation stones visible on the lower level of the building. The drawing reproduces the shape of one of the stones. Removed from its referent, it may evoke contemporary architecture, a landscape, or a section of stratum extracted from a prehistoric rock formation.
Edge of Visibility was curated by Susan Tallman in conjunction with the September-October release of the journal Art in Print of which she is the editor-in-chief. As the title of the exhibition suggests, it gathers works of art that are intentionally hard to see. Visitors must truly be engaged to experience the works and therefore become conscious of the act of looking. The lithographs of Susan York in the exhibition require visitors’ eyes to adjust to detect small changes in hue.

"The sensual surfaces of Susan York’s graphite sculptures bring together sight and touch without favoring either."

"York's site-sensitive installations of graphite forms, both sculpted and drawn, engage the existing architecture of a chosen site: a room, a wall, or a piece of paper. Her studies in graphite are a reverent homage to subtlety, with irregularities interrupting otherwise austere geometric forms and producing results that are perhaps more felt than seen. In the exhibition catalogue, Susan York: 3 Columns, Lucy Lippard wrote, “This nuanced fusion of the intellect and sensual experience is precisely what York achieves. In doing so, she takes Minimalism past the post, and into a realm of her own."

John Yau, Professor of Critical Studies at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, joins Susan York to discuss Susan York: Foundation, the artist's long-term installation presented in the Lab Corridor at The Drawing Center. Using graphite as a sculptural rather than a two-dimensional medium, York created replicas of parts of the museum’s foundation: irregular granite piers that protrude above the museum’s ground floor. Four graphite drawings, each mirroring the appearance of a pier, hang alongside York’s sculptural works, strengthening the ties between drawing and sculpture in her practice.

Contact: Local to Global highlights the engagement of artists with New Mexico, the Museum of Art with artists and collectors, and New Mexico’s engagement with the national and international arts community. Additionally the exhibition looks beyond those very literal intersections and implicates larger ideas about contact such as our engagement with the land and environment, our communities’ alignment with one another, and more broadly the implications of contact such as the discovery of the New World, and space exploration.

In the spring of 2018 the Fondation de l’Hermitage is turning its attention to pastels, a fascinating medium halfway between drawing and painting. Inspired by Danseuses au repos, the famous pastel by Degas donated to the Fondation de l’Hermitage twenty years ago, this exhibition will feature 150 masterpieces from public and private collections in Switzerland. Works covering five centuries, from the early Renaissance masters to contemporary artists, will provide a historical overview of this singular technique.
The exhibition catalogue, co-produced with La Bibliothèque des Arts, will feature colour reproductions of all the works on show, and several essays written by experts on the different periods and on the pastel medium itself.
Curated by Sylvie Wuhrmann, Director of the Fondation de l’Hermitage, and Aurélie Couvreur, Curator of the Fondation de l’Hermitage.

For the second long-term installation presented in The Drawing Center’s Lab Corridor, Santa Fe-based artist Susan York has created a site-specific installation that references the internal structure of the museum’s 35 Wooster Street building. Using graphite as a sculptural rather than a two-dimensional medium, York has constructed replicas of parts of the museum’s foundation: eroded concrete piers that protrude above the museum’s ground floor. York’s long-term installation initiates an expanded field of activity at The Drawing Center, pointing to new opportunities for exploring drawing as an interactive and socially-minded practice. Additionally, by bringing attention to The Drawing Center’s building, York’s installation generates opportunities for discussion about the importance of museums continuing as public spaces with permanent, physical presence.
Organized by Amber Harper, Assistant Curator.

The recent exhibition “Altered States” at Del Deo & Barzune in New York has brought together for the first time a group of etchings that Richard Pousette-Dart (1916–1992) produced between 1974 and 1980.

Two exhibitions, at Del Deo & Barzune and Pace Gallery, and one relocated triptych marked the fall season in New York.

In contrast to other Abstract Expressionists, most notably Robert Motherwell, Richard Pousette-Dart saw prints as a beginning, a surface to work on. He goes over them with acrylic, gouache, and ink.

An extensive selection of seventeen paintings by Pousette-Dart is currently displayed at Pace; a second selection, of etchings made in a single year (between 1979 – 1980), is shown for the first time at Del Deo & Barzune. (Numerous paintings at Pace have not been seen since they were originally shown at Betty Parsons Gallery.) The two exhibits also evoke the artist’s memorable fifty-year survey at the Guggenheim Museum in 2007, which compelled me to look at his entire oeuvre in a new way.

The recent exhibition of Mogensen’s work at Del Deo & Barzune reunites paintings from the late 1960s and ’70s, along with one outlier from 2015. While at first glance the paintings appear to conform to a broadly Minimalist aesthetic, closer examination reveals a nuanced breed of modular abstraction based not on Donald Judd’s reign of seriality and symmetry, but rather on mathematical progressions and classical ratios.
