"Ad Reinhardt and Tony Smith: A Dialogue" Exhibition
The Pace Gallery (32 E 57th St)
This event has ended.
The gallery’s fourth major exhibition devoted to Ad Reinhardt (b. 1913–d. 1967) places the artist’s monochromatic blue and black paintings from the early 1950s and 1960s in dialogue with the reductive sculptures of the artist and architect Tony Smith (b. 1912–d. 1980). Reinhardt and Smith were contemporaries who worked towards similar results— in the very different mediums of sculpture and painting— in a reductive approach to form. In Ad Reinhardt’s case, it was the cruciform, and in Tony Smith’s, the tetrahedron. Four sculptures by Smith created between 1961 and 1967 and four black and three blue monochrome paintings by Reinhardt from 1952–1966 will be on view.
