Louse Nevelson at the Galerie Gmurzynska at TEFAF Park Ave Armory May 3-7, 2019
“I could be a leaf on the tree in Paris, but I could be the whole tree in America.”
- Louise Nevelson
TEFAF NY SPRING | PARK AVENUE ARMORY | MAY 3 – 7, 2019
LOUISE NEVELSON
(1899-1988)
Untitled, 1970s
Wood painted black
70 3/8 x 46 1/4 x 8 1/8 inches
-
Galerie Gmurzynska New York is pleased to present an exhibition of Louise Nevelson’s iconic monochromatic wood assemblages alongside her rarely seen collages. These works will be on view at 39 East 78th Street, 3rd floor, from May 2nd to June 15th.
To this day one of the most celebrated female artist of the 20th century, Nevelson’s work has been exhibited alongside other greats such as Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, Frank Stella, and Robert Rauschenberg. Her works took notice among the combines of Rauschenberg and the immense color block paintings of Stella and now reside in the collections of top museums such as the Tate Gallery in London, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC.
As monumental as they are memorable, Nevelson’s wood assemblages have been aligned with many different movements from Abstract Expressionism, to Cubism and Surrealism. In presenting these objects, Nevelson is presenting us with her own valued collection, her found objects, a personal anecdote, and a glance into her life.
Born in present day Ukraine in 1899, Nevelson’s family settled in the United States by 1905. She studied the arts with Frederick Kiesler and Hilla Rebay, was introduced to Marcel Duchamp and Pablo Picasso, briefly attended Hans Hofmann’s school in Munich, and worked as an assistant to Diego Rivera. With such prominent and influential colleagues, teachers, and mentors, she went on to create a unique art that would resonate with a myriad of artistic movements while staying wholly and genuinely her own.
Nevelson’s collages are a harmonious and lesser seen companion to the assemblages. Titled after a famous Nevelson quote, “The way I think is collage,” the gallery’s publication was the first to focus on her collage work and brought to the surface never before published documentary images and personal essays by Robert Indiana and Bill Katz. Three of her collages will be on view for the exhibition.

Columbia University Announces the Year of Water as they step into Earth Day's 22 Birthday Celebration !!!!
The Year of Water at Columbia University
Restorative and ruinous, excessive and scarce, water sustains life on Earth, fueling and undermining ecosystems, biodiversity, the global economy and technological innovation.
Restorative and ruinous, excessive and scarce, water sustains life on Earth, fueling and undermining ecosystems, biodiversity, the global economy and technological innovation.
Beginning in fall 2019, Columbia University will launch the Year of Water, an interdisciplinary investigation of water in all of its social, political, cultural, economic and environmental complexities. Led by Columbia’s School of the Arts and convened across the University’s two Manhattan campuses and its Global Centers, public programming for the Year of Water will feature art presentations and exhibitions, lectures, screenings, readings and symposia focused on our planet’s most precious resource. Participating artists include Olafur Eliasson and Daan Roosegarde, whoseWaterlicht, a site-specific, immersive, outdoor light sculpture addressing rising water levels will have its New York City premiere at Columbia’s Manhattanville campus on October 22, 23 and 24.
Columbia is a leader in cutting-edge research in water-related areas such as climate change, storm prevention, sustainability and water rights. Throughout the year, this research will be the focus of panel discussions and conferences led by professors at schools and institutes across the University including the Earth Institute, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, the Columbia University Irving Medical Center, the Mailman School of Public Health, the Data Science Institute, the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation and the Columbia Engineering School.
“Water is crucial to all aspects of life – interconnecting everything from food production and agriculture to sanitation, the health of our planet and the safety of our communities,” said Mary Boyce, dean of the engineering school. “Our faculty and students work collaboratively across our school and throughout Columbia, and with industry and government to develop novel methods and systems approaches to increase access to clean water, convert wastewater and mitigate the effects of climate change, including rising sea levels and extreme weather events.”
In observance of Earth Day, we are launching the yearofwater.columbia.edu. Visit the site to learn about Columbia’s comprehensive water research, and come back in the coming months to register for events throughout the Year of Water.
Best,
Eve

Joseph Klibansky’s
‘All I Ever Wanted Was Everything’ new solo exhibition is coming to London, Opens at The House of Fine Art Thursday Gallery 9th May 2019
Joseph Klibansky: Leap of Faith, 2019. Painted and polished bronze (60 cm) - Limited Edition of 20
“Joseph Klibansky is making conceptual sculpture, not Pop sculpture per se, so he operates in a discourse closer to Hirst than to Koons, but directly related to neither. I see clearly what he is saying as an individual artist, and how he is saying it, and how he evolved to this point." Peter Frank, renowned art critic.
Joseph Klibansky is an emerging artist based in Amsterdam. His work examines the relationship between a thing and its essence, between what we see and what an image implies. Using a process of figurative and abstract layering Klibanksy’s large-scale idealistic paintings explore perception by compressing time and space, resulting in something that at first appears joyous, often descending into bleak melancholy.
Using a visual vocabulary sourced from photographs and online material, Klibansky intercuts images, including iconic cartoons, and creates digital compositions which serve as the foundation for the series. He layers the photographs, enriched with acrylic paint, on archival cotton paper and overlays it all with a liquid resin.
Playing with the implication of what is seen versus what an image implies, Klibansky’s hyper-realized paintings and sculptures address phenomenology (the study of structures of consciousness as experienced from the first-person point of view) and explores realms where both utopian and dystopian truths can co-exist.
Joseph Klibansky looks on at his work: Reflection of Youth, 2018
Alongside the paintings, HOFA will be exhibiting select pieces from Klibansky’s series of bronze sculptures. These playful figures aim to represent the juxtaposition between symbol and association. In Reflections of Truth II, Pinocchio is weighted down by an impossibly-large diamond carried on his shoulders. Made of shiny, polished bronze, the deceitful puppet can be found almost charming. Big Bang, a sizeable black gorilla head clad with a golden party hat and horn, is shown in sharp contrast with the animal’s sullen gaze. Made of glossed and polished bronze, this sculpture was realized with the aid of a 3D printer. Klibansky’s practice often allows technology and traditional artistic techniques to coexist.
Klibansky’s works serve as portraits of an alarming utopia that may not be what it appears. Nothing should be taken at face value in his works. To tell the truth, Klibansky takes advantage of a lie.

Philippe Charles Jacquet
"Les Reclus"

   |
Solo Exhibition Of Paintings
ARTIST RECEPTION ON SATURDAY, 27 APRIL, 6-8PM
RSVP to 212.226.2262 or info@
HUGO GALERIE is pleased to present Les Reclus, a solo exhibition featuring the carefully articulated dreamscapes of Philippe Charles Jacquet. The show introduces new pieces by the artist in his celebrated style in which he builds his watery worlds with various and highly planned painting techniques.
Les Reclus’ title is more relevant to his canvas’ structural capacity than their figural; while most canvases contain more than one figure, rarely does a canvas contain more than one structure. The reclusivity ofJacquet’s built environments, dramatically poised within surreal and stretching landscapes, lends his paintings an enigmatic quality. Adding to their mystery is the fact that they cannot be quickly dismissed as make-believe—they are too realistic, too aligned with our own experiences of stone houses, wooden rowboats, reflection pools, receding tides, and cloud-filled horizons. Even the slope of a figure’s slouching shoulders is too… personal.
Jacquet is an architectural painter; he plans his landscapes and their built environments with measured precision, constructing them in a layered variety of media and methods until they are as real as they are imagined. The materiality finessed, from mirror-like water to rust-scored wood grain, brings his painted compositions to life. The combination of textures, geometric accuracy, and concise colors creates an esotericism that includes viewers rather than excludes them; Jacquet’s solitary structures do not reject but envelop the viewer with the familiarity of a feeling. As if we’ve been here before. Perhaps in a dream.
HUGO GALERIE is a fine art gallery in New York City specializing in contemporary figurative painting and sculpture. The gallery represents an international roster of artists working in a variety of media and range of genres. Please direct inquiries to info@hugogalerie.com.
