This event has ended.

The first New York show of shaped, monochromatic paintings from 1965-66 by Ronald Davis– including four iconic examples that have not been on public view since the 1960's. In the fall on 1965 Ronald Davis introduced a series of eight geometrically shaped, richly painted monochromatic canvases at the newly opened Nicholas Wilder Gallery in Los Angeles. Consisting of rectilinear forms (e.g. a rhomboid, a parallelogram etc.) this body of work presented an illusionistic spatial order while also projecting an even greater sense of depth than their 4" deep stretchers provided.
