Richard Van Buren: The 1970s
Garth Greenan Gallery is pleased to announce Richard Van Buren: The 1970s, an exhibition of sculpture and drawings at 529 West 20th Street. Opening on Tuesday, November 26, 2013, the exhibition is the first ever large-scale presentation of Van Buren's work from this period. Fifteen of the artist's densely layered abstract sculptures will be on view, including a twenty-foot floor piece, Bennington (1970) and Strata (1977), a fourteen-foot wall piece. A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition, with an essay by Carter Ratcliff. The exhibition and its accompanying publication provide a survey of the artist's work during the 1970s—polyester biomorphs impregnated with materials as seemingly disparate as rock salt, cadmium, and wallpaper paste. Bennington—a highlight of the exhibition—consists of eight brightly colored elements cast from Mylar sheets buried in a snowbank. This piece marks the beginning of Van Buren's career-long fascination with the relationship between natural/organic forms and man-made/inorganic materials, especially their ability to mimic each other.--Gallery website.
