This event has ended.
Loretta Howard Gallery presents Ronald Bladen: Flying Fortress. The exhibition consists of a single large-scale 22-foot work and two preliminary drawings.
Ronald Bladen is cited as an influence of the younger generation of minimalist artists such as Carl Andre, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, and Lawrence Weiner, who repeatedly referred to him as the ‘father figure’ of Minimal Art. Bladen’s work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions including the Sculpture Center and MoMA PS1 and included group shows at The Museum of Modern Art, Art Institute of Chicago, Whitney Museum of American Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, documenta 4, The Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, “Primary Structures” at the Jewish Museum in New York, and “Scale as Content” at the Corcoran Gallery.
The Flying Fortress model has been shown at Kunshalle Bielefeld, Germany, Weatherspoon Art Gallery, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, The Sculpture Center, Nationalgalerie Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. The maquette is now in the permanent collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art.
