Lee Krasner: Mural Studies

September 13 – October 27, 2018 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Mural Studies brings together eight of Lee Krasner’s rarely exhibited small-scale, gouache-on-paper studies for an unrealized Works Progress Administration mural painting. Created in 1940 (the same year Krasner produced, in her own words, her “first abstract work”) the gouaches investigate varying configurations of geometric and biomorphic forms alongside linear elements reminiscent of Jean Arp and Joan Miró. Dancing on flat backgrounds and reveling in vivid color, Krasner’s shapes consistently avoid the same designated window and door areas in each composition, suggesting that they were created with a single, now unknown, space in mind.

SEED

June 21 – August 17, 2018 This exhibition, curated by Yvonne Force, brings together a group of contemporary artists who explore the complexity and resonance of a long association between the natural world, sexuality and fertility, and spirituality and mysticism. Force’s understanding of the artistic practice as akin to witchcraft—resonant with ideas of creation in both the divine and horticultural senses—informs the curation of works that span landscape, figuration, symbolism and abstraction.

Jane Freilicher: '50s New York

April 19 – June 9, 2018 Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to announce its debut exhibition of paintings by Jane Freilicher (1924 - 2014), whose estate the gallery now represents. The presentation is the first to focus on Freilicher’s paintings from the 1950s; a body of work that critic Fairfield Porter termed “traditional and radical.” It includes early still lifes, portraits and the studio views that elucidate her characteristically deft balance of interior and exterior. Hailing from the 1950s and painted within various studios in lower Manhattan, the works are evocative of a downtown milieu that has since come to represent the period’s golden age of spirited, improvisational artistic freedom. They articulate Freilicher’s enduring influence: her steadfast observation and intuitive realism are detectable within the work of a number of painters working today. View More

Elliott Puckette: New Works

April 18 – June 15, 2018 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Elliott Puckette (1967), her eighth solo exhibition at the gallery. With this body of work, the artist challenges herself to push her use of line by first translating it into three dimensions, making ephemeral sculptures out of wire. View More

Barry Flanagan: The Hare is Metaphor

April 18 – June 9, 2018 Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of sculpture by Barry Flanagan (1941 - 2009). The presentation, on view between April - June, 2018, brings together a selection of the artist’s iconic bronze hares from the 1980s - 1990s alongside his lesser-known works made with rope, sand, cloth, stone, ceramics and light as a sculptural component (largely from the 1960s - 1970s). A series of small paper collages, drawings, prints and film will also be included. View More

Mark Ryden at PMQ in Hong Kong

March 26 – April 4, 2018 Quintessence 132 - Macro Dodecahedron is a sculptural work that continues Mark Ryden’s exploration of the dodecahedron as a unique geometric form with significant mathematical and philosophical resonance. The dodecahedron belongs to a small group of five geometric solids that share a simple set of parameters: the same polygon on every face, and the same number of faces at each vertex. View More

Robert Polidori: Fra Angelico / Opus Operantis

March 8 – April 14, 2018 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to announce the debut presentation of a selection of Robert Polidori’s large-scale color photographs of the frescoes of Fra Angelico (1395-1455) contained in the Dominican priory of San Marco in Florence.

Saint Clair Cemin: Oedipus

March 8 – April 18, 2018 Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new sculpture by Brazilian artist Saint Clair Cemin. This will be Cemin’s fourth solo exhibition at the gallery. Oedipus takes on the renowned and influential Greek tragedy in order to interrogate the commanding force that human action can impose over what we perceive to be ‘destiny.’ Furthering the artist’s investigation into the symbolism of ancient mythology, the exhibition presents a new, twenty-part work alongside the sculptures that act as monuments to the power of language and family. The exhibition is on view at the gallery’s 293 Tenth Ave location between March 8 - April 14, 2018. View More

Alex Katz: Cutouts

March 8 – April 12, 2018 Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of “Cut Outs” sculpture editioned by Alex Katz. “Cut Outs” demonstrates the artist’s ongoing investigation into the properties of visual perception and the brilliance of surface as represented and rendered in the human figure. Since the 1950s, this dedication to figurative realism—informed by the scale and power of Abstract Expressionism and utilizing the graphic language of advertising that anticipated Pop—has marked Katz as one of the most inventive and technically achieved artists of the twentieth and twenty-first century.

Judith Bernstein: Money Shot

January 18 – March 3, 2018 Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Judith Bernstein, who has joined the gallery’s roster of artists. The exhibition, entitled Money Shot, is on view from January 18 to March 3, 2018 at 293 Tenth Avenue and features eight new large-scale paintings that emphatically continue the artist’s incendiary political critique of the current Trump administration. In the artist’s words, “I am showing Trump for what he is: a fool, a monster, a jester, a sexist, a racist. Donald Trump is a con artist, using the White House as his own personal cash machine.” View More
