"Stephen Pace (1918-2010)" Exhibition
Spanierman Gallery
This event has ended.
Through his energetic abstractions combining drawing and staining, Stephen Pace was an important contributor to the Abstract Expressionist tradition in the 1950s. He turned in the next decade to an innovative and exuberant figurative approach, in which he derived inspiration from Fauvism, Post-Impressionism, as well as from his knowledge of principles of abstraction. Roberta Smith referenced these works in Pace’s obituary in the New York Times, stating: “the force of these images resides in their deft command of bodies in space balanced by saturated colors painted patchily on bare canvas.”
