NYAB Event - "Cancelled, Erased, and Removed"

"Cancelled, Erased, and Removed"

This event has ended.
At Sean Kelly Gallery
Media: Painting, Drawing, Photography, Sculpture

The conceptual point of departure for the exhibition is Robert Rauschenberg's Erased de Kooning, 1953, where the artist erased a drawing by Willem de Kooning, simultaneously unmaking one work and creating another in an act of both destruction and devotion. Cancelled, Erased & Removed is not a survey, nor does it attempt to include all the artists who have explored this subject matter; rather it is a presentation of a specifically selected group of artists who have taken a particularly interesting, innovative or non-traditional approach to these themes. The works span a wide range of media including painting, drawing, photography, video and performance art.
