NYAB Event - Mary Frank "As Time Goes By"

Mary Frank "As Time Goes By"

Skoto Gallery

This event has ended.

Skoto Gallery presents As Time Goes By, a solo exhibition by the American artist Mary Frank, including a selection of encaustics, works on paper and photographs from the period 1960-2010. The visual imagery that Mary Frank utilizes in the body of work in this exhibition stems from a long evolution of methods, materials and subjects that have precedents in her earlier work in sculpture with clay and woodcarving, drawing, painting and works on wax. She draws on memory and myth to create works that celebrates an openness, at once visceral and spiritual. A prolific artist, she has over the past five decades, consistently remained true to an artistic vision that is firmly rooted in the fissure between the natural world and the world of the imagination, and seeks to expand the boundaries between art and consciousness. Mary Frank’s work is wrought out of a complex synthesis of seemingly random juxtaposition of recurring symbols and markers, combined with an extraordinary ability to draw, deep sensitivity to texture and a mastery of tonality and color.

Mary Frank was born 1933, in London, England. She has been the subject of numerous solo museum and gallery exhibitions, including the Brooklyn Museum, the DeCordova Museum, The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Everson Museum of Art, Marsh Art Gallery at the University of Richmond, and the Neuberger Museum. Her work is also in the permanent collections of the above institutions and other museums including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the National Museum of American Art, the Newark Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Yale University Art Gallery.
