"gray” Exhibition
Dinter Fine Art
This event has ended.
Loosely conceived around the notion of gray in high summer, with its built-in contradiction, this show was planned prior to the appearance of the Jasper Johns exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art this past winter.
Since then, references to Mr. Johns appear to be popping up, such as in the current exhibition at Shafrazi Gallery titled “Who’s Afraid of Jasper Johns?” and recently at Danziger Projects. This exhibition obliquely connects to a small group of black-and-white photographs by an unknown artist (possibly Rudy Burckhardt) who photographed Johns’s paintings in the late 50’s, or early 60’s, for the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York City. These 8 x 10 inch black and white prints were the gallery workhorses of their day, put to use as JPEGs are used these days, or as slides and transparencies were used in previous times, for promotional and reference purposes.
