Catch ANTHE ZACHARIAS at the David Richard Gallery NYC November 3, 4-7

Anthe Zacharias Untitled (AZ 214), 1972 Acrylic on canvas 113.5" x 84.5”  ANTHE ZACHARIAS Shaken, Not Stirred: 1970s Color Abstraction    October 30 through November 30, 2019 Opening Reception: Sunday, November 3, from 4 to 7 PM David Richard Gallery, LLC 211 East 121 ST | New York, NY 10035 P: (212) 882-1705 www.davidrichardgallery.com David Richard Gallery is pleased to present, Shaken, Not Stirred: 1970s Color Abstraction, an exhibition by Anthe Zacharias and her second solo exhibition with the gallery. In the 1970s, Zacharias pushed the boundaries, both figuratively and literally, for exploring color in contemporary abstract painting and new processes for applying pigment to canvas. Not only was Zacharias bathing her canvases in paint, but she also explored the role of monumentality of the canvas, immersing the viewer in an experience with color and her vision for abstract painting. Her studio process became a physical performance and technical challenge while her canvases became more theatrical and heroic. This presentation examines several such brushless approaches for applying color to canvas as well as the impact of scale on the viewing experience. The exhibition will be on view from Wednesday, October 9 through Saturday, November 9, 2019 with an opening reception on Sunday, October 13 from 4:00 to 7:00 PM on the Ground Floor exhibition space at 211 East 121 ST, New York, NY 10035.

Though the region’s Color School had a great influence on his artistic development, he has always aimed to be something more than a second-generation participant. His interests in color, finish and surface have led him in many directions, but the categorization of his work has, up until now, been more “post” than “neo.” Several of Dagley’s paintings were included in the exhibition Post-Hypnotic, which traveled the country from 1999-2001, and much of his work has been referred to as Post-Structural. However, in keeping with the artist’s desire to remain in the moment, or one step ahead of it, this show has been titled Neo-Op.  Mark Dagley’s creative output is not limited to fine art. He is also a musician, composer, audio engineer, videographer, essayist, publisher of art books and limited editions. He has performed and recorded, mostly as a guitarist, since the late 1970s. Among his past band mates are fellow artists George Condo and Steven Parrino. Dagley and his wife, author and actress Lauri Bortz, co-founded Abaton Book Company, a publishing house and music label, in 1997 and have been running it together ever since. Dagley is currently studying music theory at Juilliard and classical guitar privately. The musical patterns he’s been immersed in are echoed in his recent paintings.  Neo-Op is Dagley’s first solo show with David Richard Gallery. David Richard Gallery, LLC 211 East 121st Street, New York, NY 10035 | p (212) 882-1705 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Wednesday - Sunday or by appointment#fineartmagazine

Sonia Gechtoff Garden, Wave and Waterfall, 2001 Acrylic and graphite on canvas 60” x 60”

Gechtoff moved from San Francisco to New York in 1958. While her paintings remained pure abstractions, several aesthetic and formal aspects of her work also changed with the geographical shift. In particular, her interest in earth elements, landscape and architecture became more prevalent in her work with representational elements incorporated in her abstract compositions. Gechtoff’s paintings remained gestural, full of bold, confident strokes, full of color and commanding ones full attention in any space. Fire, smoke, wind and waves became her focus in several paintings, others strongly referenced celestial bodies, the moon, sun and stars, while other compositional elements were evocative of mountains, trees and skies. Suggestions of columns, arcs and portals became framing devices as well as part of the composition. In her later years, Gechtoff moved from oil to acrylic paint. She traded in her palette knife for graphite to emphasize and maintain strong gestures, shadows and aesthetic emphasis. Gechtoff never stopped painting, creating or re-inventing herself. She was a true artist in every sense of the word – committed and passionate about her work, her process and her career.

Sonia Gechtoff Hudson River Skies Red, 2011 Acrylic on canvas 40" x 30”

About Sonia Gechtoff (1926-2018): Sonia Gechtoff, was born and raised in Philadelphia. After graduating in 1950 from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, she moved to San Francisco in 1951 where she was greatly influenced by the painting of Clyfford Still. She taught at the California School of Fine Art working alongside Hassel Smith and Elmer Bischoff and associated with other Bay Area Abstract Expressionist painters such as Madeleine Diamond, Lilly Fenichel, Deborah Remington, Jay DeFeo and James Kelly, who she later married. San Francisco had a tremendous impact on Gechtoff, she was very much involved in the unique cultural scene and felt the local support. It is where she had her greatest career achievements, such as developing her bold use of the palette knife to create long, sharp strokes of pigment across the canvas and the corresponding early recognition with solo exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Art (currently SFMoMA) and De Young Museum. Gechtoff moved to New York in 1958 and worked there until she passed away in early 2018. Given her interests in figuration, architecture, landscape and earth elements, representational elements became more prevalent in her paintings and drawings, while abstraction and gestural brush strokes remained constant. She switched from oil to acrylic paint and traded the palette knife for graphite to maintain strong defining strokes and boundaries in her work.  Gechtoff’s artworks are included in the permanent collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art, Maryland; Achenbach Foundation, California Palace of the Legion of Honor, San Francisco; Denver Art Museum, Colorado; The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; National Academy of Design, New York; Oakland Museum of Art, California; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, California; Museum of Art, Stanford University, Palo Alto, California; and Worcester Museum of Art, Massachusetts, among others. Most recently, her paintings were included in the very important exhibition, Women of Abstract Expressionism at the Denver Museum of Art in 2016 that subsequently traveled to the Mint Museum and the Palm Springs Museum of Art in 2017.  All Artworks: Copyright © Sonia Gechtoff Estate  For additional information please contact: David Eichholtz, Manager Mobile: (505) 467-9742 Mobile: (917) 853-8161 D@DavidRichardGallery.com #finrartmagazine

David Richard Gallery is pleased to announce Christian Haub artist reception Sunday, October 21, 2018 from 3:00 - 7:00 PM

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Christian Haub, Float for David Davis, 2018, Cast acrylic sheet, 75" x 36" x 3.5" Copyright © Christian Haub Click here to go to exhibition page

CHRISTIAN HAUB Like A Butterfly October 18 - November 18, 2018 Opening Reception: Sunday, October 21, 2018, 3:00 - 7:00 PM David Richard Gallery, LLC  211 East 121 ST | New York, NY 10035 P: (212) 882-1705 www.davidrichardgallery.com

David Richard Gallery is pleased to announce Christian Haub’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, in titled Like A Butterfly. The presentation will include new and recent “floats” and opens on October 18, 2018 with an artist reception Sunday, October 21, 2018 from 3:00 - 7:00 PM at the gallery’s venue in East Harlem at 211 East 121 ST, New York, New York 10025. The exhibition will remain on view through November 18, 2018. The “floats” by Haub have a number of surprising qualities that impart both a physicality and unexpected perceptual experience. Physically, they are constructions made of cast sheets of colored acrylic that are cut and assembled into open structures with vertical and horizontal elements. Formally, these artworks are entirely about color. Haub uses a limited palette, but the transparent acrylic allows light to pass through and create cast shadows, both within and outside of the structures and that is where the real action begins. When the shadows intersect and overlap the colors blend, creating new colors and expanding the palette. However, another fantastic thing happens, depending upon the angle and intensity of the light source—natural or artificial light—the shadows reach beyond the physical structure and expand the size of the artwork. This transformation of the local space with a luminous glow also introduces a kinetic quality to the work in a couple of ways. First, the shadows move and change depending upon the light source and especially if from natural light, that changes throughout the day in terms of angle, intensity and spectrum. Second, the shape and scale of the work changes as the viewer moves around and views the artwork from different distances and angles. About Christian Haub: Christian Haub, a New York-based artist, grew up in Miami, Florida and studied art history at Princeton University. He received the Rome Prize in painting and studied at the American Academy in Rome from 1983 to 1984. Haub has had numerous solo exhibitions and his artwork included in many gallery and museum exhibitions in New York, Boston, Miami, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain; Paris, France; and Lima, Peru, among other cities. His artwork has been critically reviewed in The New York Times, Los Angels Times, The Boston Globe, Art In America, Arts Magazine, Artspace and BOMB among other publications. About David Richard Gallery: Since its inception in 2010, David Richard Gallery has produced museum quality exhibitions that feature Post War abstraction in the US. The presentations have addressed specific decades and geographies as well as certain movements and tendencies. While the gallery has long been recognized as an important proponent of post-1960s abstraction—including both the influential pioneers as well as a younger generation of practitioners in this field— in keeping with this spirit of nurture and development the gallery also presents established and very new artists who embrace more gestural and representational approaches to the making of art as well as young emerging artists. In 2015 David Richard Gallery launched DR Projects to provide a platform for artists of all stripes—international, national, local, emerging and established—to present special solo projects or to participate in unique collaborations or thematic exhibitions. The goal is to offer a fresh look at contemporary art practice from a broad spectrum of artists and presentations. The Gallery opened a second location in New York in 2017.

Tadasky has used the circle as his compositional framework throughout his career for exploring color relationships with concentric rings of pigment. Through most of the 1960s the compositions were comprised of hard edge bands of color. In the late 60s, he began to push the edges of the borders by applying thick pigment and letting it diffuse on one side of an outer ring of color, as seen in G4 above. Later, the edges were pushed further with ethereal airbrushed rings of pigment and then by incorporating small drops of color around the composition's outer periphery. This presentation examines the range of painting techniques Tadasky used to study the impact of the precise edge, thickness and complexity of borders in his E, G, J, M and N series from the late 1960s through 2011.
