Richard Artschwager Exhibition
David Nolan Gallery
This event has ended.
David Nolan Gallery presents Richard Artschwager. Bringing together a group of landscape pastels and paintings, produced in the final years of the artist’s life, the show will also include paintings from the early 1960s, demonstrating Artschwager’s ongoing engagement with the landscape theme. In hindsight, the early works suggest clear precursors to the strong compositional elements – horizon lines, roads, cacti – that are present in his later ouput. Together they confirm Artschwager’s unique approach, in which a minimal amount of detail is combined with his unusual sense of perspective. The exhibition is accompanied by a comprehensive monograph on Artschwager’s landscape drawings with an essay by John Yau (published by Black Dog Publishing).
Richard Artschwager was born in 1923 in Washington, D.C. He died aged 89 in 2013, less than a week after the closing of his second retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art. His work can be found in numerous public collections including: The Art Institute of Chicago, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Tate Modern, London.
