James Austin Murray"Mystery of Light"April 3 - May 3, 2014OPENING RECEPTIONThursday, April 3rd6 - 8 pm
James Austin Murray, Invincible Serenity (detail), 2014, Oil on shaped canvas, 48 x 64 in / 121.9 x 162.6 cmWe are pleased to present "Mystery of Light," James Austin Murray's first solo exhibition at Lyons Wier Gallery. For the past 20 years, James Austin Murray has worked through many different approaches in his art - from tightly rendered graphite cityscapes to pure white abstraction, works on paper, metal, canvas and board, flat and multi-dimensional. It is through these various incarnations that he has settled upon a pure black palette driven by an automatic and deftly intuitive hand."My current work is both about the paint and the light that reflects on and in it. I consider light to be a material I work with much like paint is a material I work with. It is the way paint plays with light that is my focus. I use black paint. Black absorbs the entire spectrum of visible light, leaving the oil in the paint to reflect the light in the room. You might wonder if this is all the work is about and you'd be right to wonder. Light is just one element and a starting point" - James Austin Murray. Read more

SCOPE Art Show
Basel, Switzerland: Connected by dedicated SCOPE TRAMS to the main fair, SCOPE Art Show returns to its pioneering location in Klybeckquai, the new art and culture center of Basel. A wellspring of cultural development for Basel Stadt, SCOPE was the first in what is now a series of extraordinary happenings centered on the New Arts District on the Rhine.
In proximity to SCOPE Basel's 4,000m² pavilion, the Tinguely Museum will present Jean Tinguely's brilliant musical performance "Cyclope" along with several restaurants, bars, and clubs orchestrating "pop-ups" along the once-industrial riverfront. SCOPE is delighted to be at the center of this focused cultural moment in Basel.
SCOPE Basel will welcome 75 International Exhibitors alongside 20 Breeder Program Galleries, offering a view of the contemporary art market available nowhere else. Exhibitors hail from four continents and over twenty countries including China, Mexico, Japan, Korea, Brazil, Italy, Iran, Russia, Turkey, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Germany, UK, Spain, and Canada.
SCOPE Basel opens to VIPs and Press on Tuesday, June 17, with its Platinum First View benefit from 12pm - 4pm; the fair will run June 18-22, 2014. Accessible by dedicated SCOPE tram, SCOPE Basel is connected to the Messaplatz and Claraplatz. Additionally, visitors may reach the fair by a scenic walking route along the Rhine, which will feature SCOPE Basel information points for convenience.
Long-established as the original incubator for emerging work, SCOPE's Breeder Program celebrates its 14th year of introducing new galleries to the contemporary market. A remarkable opportunity for exposure, Breeder Program alumni include: Peres Projects, John Connelly Presents, Galeria Enrique Guerrero, Daniel Reich Gallery, Bischoff Weiss, INVISIBLE-EXPORTS, SEVENTEEN, ROKEBY, Taxter Spengemann, Magical Artroom and Spinello Projects, among other notable galleries.

Walter Wickiser Gallery is proud to announce the exhibition of Ralph L. Wickiser, The Compassion I 1950-1958, from April 3rd to May 10th, 2014.
Walter Wickiser Gallery is proud to announce the exhibition of Ralph L. Wickiser, The Compassion I 1950-1958, from April 3rd to May 10th, 2014.
From 1950 through 1968, the focus of Wickiser’s painting was non-objective and the series that came about were entitled Compassion I (1950-1958), and Compassion II (1959-1968). This was a time when he was very involved with artists such as Barnett Newman, Franz Kline and Philip Guston. Most of the work was inspired by Grunewald’s Isenheim Altarpiece which he often thought was one of the greatest artworks ever made. In the Compassion I paintings he wanted to create a visual feeling of uplifting or resurrection thru the use of square shaped panels and glazes throughout the paintings. This created a juxtaposition of various layers of opposing colors to create a visual effect of seeing thru time and space in an effort to create a feeling of rebirth, spring, or the eternal cycle of life. This use of juxtaposition and glazing of abstract forms to create a feeling of the life’s moment would continue in his later work; The Reflected Stream, Early Years 1975-1985, The Reflected Stream, Abstract Years 1985-1998, The Covered Apple Tree 1987-1998 and Shadows On the Grass 1996-1998.
Since the 1930’s, his works have been shown in galleries, universities, and museums throughout America including the Metropolitan Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the San Francisco Museum, the Oakland Museum, the New Orleans Museum of Art, Dayton Museum, the Cincinnati Museum and the Dallas Museum. During his life, he exhibited with artists such as Milton Avery, Ralston Crawford, Willem de Kooning, Adolph Gottlieb, Philip Guston, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Jackson Pollock.
Wickiser’s works have been included in A History of American Tonalism 1880-1920 by David Adams Cleveland which won the award of the best art history book in 2012. In addition, his works were recently included in the special exhibition at the Queens Museum entitled Queens International 2013 organized by Meiya Cheng, independent curator and Hitomi Iwasaki, the Museum’s Director of Exhibitions and Curator.
An opening reception for Ralph L. Wickiser, The Compassion I 1950-1958, will be held on Thursday, April 3rd, from 6 - 8 p.m. For further information, please contact the gallery at (212) 941-1817, Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m.- 6 p.m.
