"The Winter Salon - Works on Paper" Exhibition

Björn Ressle Gallery

This event has ended.

"The Winter Salon - Works on Paper" is a presentation of over fifty Contemporary artists. Inspired by salon-style hanging, most commonly attributed to the Salon de Paris held during the 18th and 19th centuries, the gallery intends to provide patrons of the arts with an inviting, intimate viewing experience. The Winter Salon pays tribute to the format of a salon hanging and celebrates the tradition that has continuously rendered expositions of large numbers of artists and even larger numbers of works.
 
By utilizing the maximum floor-to-ceiling gallery space, The Winter Salon can animate the walls with current works on paper by contemporary artists each of whom offers a unique perspective to the show. International, established, innovative, and emergent artists have contributed a body of over one-hundred pieces of art reflecting an immense range of theories, generations, styles and talents. Works from the late 1950s and early 60s are juxtaposed with works completed this year; a drawing by Sol LeWitt hangs beside a study by Michelangelo Pistoletto while two poems by Carl Andre are near a recent subway drawing by William Anastasi. The amalgamation of art allows the viewer access to some of the past and current centuries' pivotal artistic ideas while introducing newer talent, to generate fresh creative energy through unexpected juxtapositions.
