Seth Price “Drawings: Studies for Works 2000-2015”
Petzel Gallery (35 E 67th St.)
This event has ended.
Petzel Gallery announces an exhibition by New York based artist Seth Price. This is his fifth solo exhibition with the gallery.
Although best known for his sculpture, video, and writing, Price has always made drawings and studies as a way to explore ideas developed in other mediums. Curator Achim Hochdörfer has selected a group of these rarely seen art works for exhibition at Petzel’s new gallery uptown.
The show spans more than fifteen years, and encompasses media and materials that range from airbrush, charcoal, watercolor, and spray-paint, to polymer compounds, fabric, and thermo-formed plastic. Among the works on display are renderings of Depression-era landscapes produced as studies for Price’s calendar paintings; hand-painted plastic maquettes for his mylar sculptures; graffiti-marker on shrink-wrapped palettes; cartoons later reproduced large-scale on vacuum-formed plastic sculptures; paintings on wood executed as tests for his envelope wall pieces; and research notes for an apocalyptic, Evangelical, sci-fi novel.
