Ad Reinhardt "In the Minds of Me"

This event has ended.

Scrutinizing Ad Reinhardt’s best-known works – the so-called black paintings – attentive viewers discover numinous voids and luminous crosses. Their subtleties demand that we fine-tune our vision, and their spirit invites us to envision one of the two preeminent themes in art and life: Thanatos, or death; not as an object of fear, but rather as a world of wonderment.

Woodward Gallery presents this never-before-seen exhibition to reveal a very different side of Reinhardt, and a corpus of work devoted to art’s other great subject: Eros, embodied here by 92 drawings, collages, cards, found objects and letters. Taken altogether, this ensemble reveals the artist’s love of wit and word play in general, and it encodes his two-decade-long love affair with Olga Sheirr in particular.
