Pace is pleased to present an exhibition of work by Brian Clarke, an exceptionally prolific artist who has worked predominately in stained glass for over forty years, with a practice that extends into architecture, painting, drawing, and sculpture. The exhibition, entitled Between Extremities, examines the foundation of Clarke’s oeuvre, presenting paintings, works on paper, and sculptures alongside his glass work, including a new stained-glass rose window installed in the gallery.

We hope you can join us for the opening on Wednesday, January 16th, from 6 to 8 pm at 508 West 25th Street.

Reblog of the day:  This is your LAST week to catch Josef Albers in America: Painting on Paper currently on view at The Morgan Library & Museum.  If you are in New York this exhibit is not to be missed!

The Morgan Library & Museum is hosting an exhibition of sixty-six works by Josef Albers starting July 20th and I cannot wait to visit!

Josef Albers in America: Painting on Paper
July 20 through October 14, 2012

Josef Albers (1888–1976) is best known for his series of paintings, Homage to the Square, in which he endlessly explored color relationships within a similar format of concentric squares. Less well-known are the studies he made for these compositions. With approximately sixty oil sketches on paper, this exhibition will reveal a private side of Albers’s work. These sketches were never exhibited in the artist’s lifetime and have rarely been seen after his death. 

On view will be early studies (1930s–early 1940s), studies for Albers’s Adobeseries, inspired by Mexican architecture (1940s–early 1950s), and studies forHomage to the Square (1950s–1970s). These vibrant sketches provide insights into the artist’s working process and, in contrast with the austerity and strict geometry of the final paintings, are remarkable for their freedom and sensuality.

Works are drawn from the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Bethany, Connecticut and the Josef Albers Museum in Bottrop, Germany. The exhibition, which is traveling to multiple venues in Europe before coming to the Morgan (the only U.S. venue), is organized by the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung in Munich and the Josef Albers Museum in Bottrop.

Still haven’t made the trip to Chelsea to visit Robert Irwin’s Dotting the i’s & Crossing the t’s?  Watch this VernissageTV clip of our opening to see how his fifteen foot acrylic columns warp the surrounding gallery space of 510 West 25th Street.

Richard Tuttle: Systems, VIII–XII, now on view until October 13th, continues Tuttle’s search for a new type of sculpture that expands space physically while retaining the intimacy of his smaller works. 

Reblog of the day: Watch this video to learn more about Robert Irwin and the “Light and Space” movement.  Then visit our current exhibit, Dotting the i’s & Crossing the t’s, to see for yourself how his latest installations explore perception as a fundamental issue of art.

Artlog calls The Morgan’s Josef Albers in America: Painting on Paper “a brave, new take on Albers’ work” and we couldn’t agree more.  Don’t miss out on this incredible exhibit, on view now until October 14th!

At 510 West 25th Street, Pace presents Robert Irwin’s iconic acrylic columns—the last works he conceived prior to abandoning his studio practice more than fifty years ago. Rising from the concrete floor and stretching more than fifteen feet towards the skylights above, the nearly transparent prisms warp the surrounding air and space. The columns are the completion and realization of an idea conceived in 1969.  We hope you can visit these works for yourself, now on view until October 20th.
