Throwback Thursday: Watch Art21’s documentary of Robert Mangold’s Ring Paintings he created for an exhibit at Pace Gallery 2 years ago.

art21:

“I like setting up problems for the viewer, like how do you visually deal with a ring when what’s usually in the center of a painting is very important? It’s like the main course isn’t there and you’re having to deal with everything around what would normally be the main course.”
—Robert Mangold

Robert Mangold, our current 100 Artists featured artist, is seen here at work in his Washingtonville, New York studio in 2011. Mangold is seen creating work using a ring shape—a continuation of forms used in his previous works. Mangold’s first Ring painting appeared in 2008, and a series of Ring paintings were shown in Spring 2011 at The Pace Gallery’s 57th Street location in New York City.

This scene is featured in the Art in the Twenty-First Century Season 6 episode, Balance (2012).
