Paul Rodgers/9W Gallery

poster for Simon Hantaï " Not For Sale In New York"

This event has ended.

Paul Rodgers/9W presents as its summer 2010 exhibition the work of Simon Hantaï. Focusing on two large format paintings, Study (1969) and Tabula (1980), this exhibition seeks to identify the discovery, borrowing from the artist's own words, of “what my true subject is: the resurgence of the ground beneath my feet”.

With almost two years having elapsed since the artist’s death, a new phase in the presentation of his work has already begun. Hantaï is no longer here to maintain the integrity of his attachment to the aesthetic and intellectual vocation of his art. Others are taking direction of his posterity and will act as they see fit. This exhibition, accompanied by a substantial text written for the occasion, intends to keep faith with the artist and continue to emphasize the aesthetic and intellectual presentation of his work. As one of the artist’s principal collectors, and as a close confidant and supporter of over thirty years standing, its organizer feels this responsibility. The exhibition is dedicated to the values for which Simon Hantaï stood, which the gallery shared, and to his memory.
