Leila Heller Gallery :The Museum of Non-Objective Painting: the Birth of the Guggenheim, opening on January 26, 2017





The Museum of Non-Objective Painting:
The Birth of the Guggenheim

January 26 - March 4, 2017

Opening Reception: Thursday January 26, 6-8pm
568 West 25th Street, New York





‘I saw in this Art a medium for the American painter to exceed the past.’
Solomon R Guggenheim

Leila Heller Gallery is proud to present The Museum of Non-Objective Painting: the Birth of the Guggenheim, opening on January 26, 2017, including rarely seen masterpieces from Hilla Rebay, Rudolf Bauer, Wassily Kandinsky, László Moholy-Nagy, Charles Green Shaw, Rolph Scarlett, Penrod Centurion, Irene Rice Pereira, Raymond Jonson, John Ferren, John Sennhauser, Albert Gleizes, Lloyd Ney, Ilya Bolotowsky, Fernand Léger, Alice Trumbull Mason, and Alice Mattern, with works portraying the rise and development of non-objective painting, spanning from 1912 to 1951.

This sweeping survey exhibition seeks to exhume from historical misappropriation non-objective painting as a movement of European abstraction re-homed in the vertiginous violence of WWII to the streets of Manhattan and as a historical event in the history of art whose legacy singularly influenced the rise of Abstract Expressionism in the following generation. This exhibition traces the oeuvres of a lost generation of artists whose work nonetheless formed the basis and informed the vision of the founding collection of Solomon R Guggenheim, also known as the Museum of Non-Objective Painting. 

Non-objective painting is not simply abstraction by another name, but a distinct movement arisen from the desire to divorce abstract painting from its derivative reliance upon objects in the world, whose mundane existence was considered insufficient for manifestations of spiritual expression. Arguably reaching its apogee between the mid-1930s to mid-1940s, the movement of non-objective painting sought instead to lend color and form to the immaterial experiences of the musical and the mystical. Drawing from the theoretical musings and biomorphic forms of Kandinsky or the utopian urges and cubist tableaux of Albert Gleizes, the work of Rebay and Bauer, Scarlett and Ferren, Rice Pereira and Shaw all contributed to the development of a pioneering ideology and compelling, unique aesthetic, replete with symbolic, angular, and rhythmic geometries. 

June 1, 1939: after 10 years of a crusading mission of collecting, Solomon Guggenheim, under the visionary guidance of artist and curator Hilla Rebay, opened the Museum of Non-Objective Painting on West 54th Street in Manhattan with an exhibition entitled The Art of Tomorrow. This first iteration of what is now a global institution spent the first ten years avidly exhibiting the very finest international examples of the proponents and antecedents of this particular avant-garde and predominantly European abstraction, including those who were considered to be the founders, at least according to Rebay, of the movement of non-objective painting: namely Wassily Kandinsky and Rudolf Bauer, both of whom are featured in this exhibition.

This was no small feat; the pervasive mood of a post-Depression era America exuded suspicion of and derision towards what was considered at the time a European art form; the demoralized public and critics alike in the United States throughout the 1930s and 1940s vastly preferred the narrative and representational redemption in Social Realist and Regionalist art which sought to reassure their beleaguered souls of the values which were truly American. Yet, such resistance only made Baroness Rebay and her patron Solomon Guggenheim all the more determined, proclaiming the value of ‘non-objective’ art lay in its ability to transcend the narrow boundaries of material pleasure and nationalist want. For her, non-objective painting was “spirituality made visible … alive and organic with the cosmic order which rules the universe.” For him, the future was not to be built on the mythical narratives of narrative figurative painting, but rather on non-objective painting: “I saw in this Art a medium for the American painter to exceed the past.”

The exhibition is divided into three principal sections, or chronological periods, reflecting the legacy of the movement and Museum of Non-Objective Painting. The first room, featuring works dating from circa 1912 to 1935, seeks to portray the primary influences on the development of non-objective painting and early biomorphic compositions by artists who would form the core of the aesthetic and ideology represented by the Museum of Non-Objective Painting. This section of the exhibition includes an extraordinary work by Wassily Kandinsky from 1935 entitled Poids Montes whose pools of red are reflecting in the adjacent tableau by Rudolf Bauer, Symphony. These works sit beside a piece by Albert Gleizes, La Vieille Dame (1923); this work is also one of the only representational works in the exhibition, highlighting both the importance of this genre of work to the movement and Museum, and also the striking departure from this style which non-objective painting represents.

In the second, or main room of the gallery, an exemplary collection of works from 1935 to 1945, including the work Colored Swinging (1935) by Bauer featured in the mission statement for the Museum of Non-Objective Painting and in the exhibition, and rare works by Ilya Bolotowsky, Raymond Jonson, Rolph Scarlett, Hilla Rebay, Fernand Léger, Alice Trumbull Mason, and Alice Mattern, presents the coalescence of the aesthetic of non-objective painting which moved, by in large, from the organic presentations of the earlier years, towards more concise hard-edge geometric forms, floating on an indistinct ground, portraying compositional relationships between, as Rebay states above, “cosmic” forms. Symbolism, attributed to both color and form, pervades these works, with the emphasis on circular forms connoting ‘wholeness,’ triangles and pyramids denoting the heritage of Kandinsky’s theory of the advancement of humanity, and notions of line connecting, for the artists, the spiritual force between bodies in space, as well reflecting sonic or musical elements in rhythmic form. Also featured is a distinctive jewel-like piece, Space Modulator (1945), by László Moholy-Nagy, who, along with Shaw and Kandinsky, was one of the few artists featured in a solo exhibition during the tenure of the Museum of Non-Objective Painting.

The final section of the exhibition presents work from the late 1940s to early 1950s, including quintessential paintings by Irene Rice Pereira, whose compositions challenge the edge of the frame and make evident the push to be what will later be the ‘all-over’ in the development of Abstract Expressionism. Rice Pereira, along with Rebay, Mason Trumbull, and Mattern, all render this exhibition also a subtle exposition of the power and importance of the female quotient in both the curatorial and creative vision of women artists in the history of the movement and Museum of Non-Objective Painting. 

This exhibition is presented and curated in partnership with Rowland Weinstein and Weinstein Gallery, San Francisco.

Patrick Heide Contompoary Art: The Sea is the Limit Jan 14th


#fineartmagazine.com

WonderGlass Jan 20th-24th






WonderGlass will present the installation “Rise and Drift” by Tangent, the London-based design brand established by innovative designer Hideki Yoshimoto at Maison et Objet, January 2017.

The installation“Rise and Drift” by Tangent for WonderGlass focuses on the organic shapes of water bubbles and the refraction of light. Tangent have also explored the complex way light transmits and reflects inside different materials.

This work captures a dynamic moment and is reminiscent of air rising through the water hinting life underneath, a presence that we cannot see but just imagine.The display captures natural bubbles that contrast inside solid, geometric shapes. When light is casted, it transmits and reflects in a complex way inside the material, resulting in a beautiful visual effect.

The different fixtures created by Tangent for the installation can be used as space dividers, lights, or chandeliers that cast beautiful shadows with light, including sunlight.

For Maison et Objet 2017, WonderGlass will also preview Luma by Zaha Hadid, a sculptural composition of tubular segments which subtly diffuse light through organic shapes which effortlessly celebrate the unrivalled logic and beauty found in nature. Each individual segment to the piece has been handblown in Murano.


First seen in 2014, the 2017 edition follows an ongoing liaison with Zaha Hadid’s team to create technical superiority as well as a more refined shape which in turn, throws a softer glow. Luma is now available to specify for both commercial and domestic markets.

 LABA PresentsDRUNK Other Wine: A Night of Art, Drinking, and Torah

at the 14th Street Y
January 12, 2017 at 7:30pm

NEW YORK: What could be more pleasant and liberating than being intoxicated, and what could at times be more horrid? Are we, by drinking, allowing our "other side" to manifest itself in the open? What happens when we find this "other side" too scary - or perhaps more dangerously, too attractive? All this, and more at DRUNK, LABA's annual art and study fest subtitled Other Wine: A Night of Art, Drinking, and Torah on January 12, 2017 at 7:30pm at The Theater at the 14th Street Y 344 E 14th St, New York, NY 10003.
The intoxicating pairing of fine wine and ancient Jewish text are jolted to life by the contemporary artistic works of this year's LABA fellows at DRUNK.  Sommelier and wine merchant for V.O.S. Selections, Ronald Jordan,ancient text scholar and winner of the 2015 "Sapir Prize" for Hebrew Literature. Reuben Namdar, and 10 LABA Fellowswill take us through a four course exploration of text and art, present  and future, intoxication and cultural clarity.  It is through this dichotomy, that we discover the essence of LABA's DRUNK. 

Throughout the evening, the 14th Street Y LABA Fellow's work will share an artistic response to the curated wine and provocative Jewish texts. As Fellows explore the theme of OTHER we wonder, can wine be divine? Can wine be demonic?

"There is so much stimulation from these texts and this is an intellectual setting to explore them; I encourage you to taste the wines and taste the texts," said Muszkatblit, attaching a poeticism to the parallels between the literary richness of the passages and the complex flavors of the wines."  -NY Blueprint

In a celebration of the Fellow's many artistic disciplines, each artist will have an individual response to "otherness" which is expressed through their own artistic process and unique aesthetic.  Performances range from Israeli folk dance to a film on relationships, to the inner monologue of Noah's wife, to drunken identities investigating gender. DRUNK takes the audience member through an immersive experience as they taste wine, watch performances, and learn the text that inspired the evening. 
There will be nudity in this performance.

Once the work of the LABA Fellows has concluded, the night continues with more wine, bites, at a post-show reception and curated Silent Auction featuring fabulous items from the world of wine and beyond as well as . For more information and to purchase tickets, visit labajournal.com/DRUNK.

LABA Fellows include; Hadar Ahuvia, Laura Beatrix Newmark, Hanan Elstein, Michael Gac Levin, Elana Greenfield, Gordon Haber, Abigail Katz, Michael Leibenluft, Keren Moscovitch, Judith Shulevitz, Gil Sperling.  Read more at labajournal.com/fellows

The evening will include the follow works: 

GIL SPERLING "uncovered" 
A video performance inspired by a talmudic text that touches on castration fear and the troubled sexual relation between sons and their fathers. 

MICHAEL LEIBENLUFT "I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours"
Before there was sex, we were seduced by intimacy, privacy, and secrecy. Reaching back into our earliest memories to find the origins of shame, desire, and difference.

FRANNY SILVERMAN "That's What She Said"
Brief musings on Noah's complicated relationship with leadership, family, and adult beverages from the woman who was there through it all.

KEREN MOSCOVITCH "TOO DRUNK TO MAN UP"
This film explores gender, performance and intimacy in an age of deconstruction. A drunken text, devised by drunken identities and read through drunken bodies. We will investigate excess, confusion and carnal hermeneutics.

ELENA GREENFIELD "There is Wine, and There is Wine (The "Other Side")"
Before Babel we lived in a linguistic Eden; utterance, synergy, potency. After Babel we drink and lip sync. With Lizzie Olesker and Eric Borlaug.

GORDON HABER "Drunken Rice" 
Excerpts from an as-yet-unnamed story that explores otherness through a Jewish infantryman in combat in the Korean War.

HADAR AHUVIA "Everything you have is yours?" 
We'll begin teaching the Israeli folk dance 'My Beloved is Mine'. We start the dance face to face, the Israeli on the one hand the Yemenite appropriated on the other.
