I was visited a while back by a gallery owner considering my work for exhibition. She liked these drawings and those paintings and some photographs but she paused in fromt of a couple paintings from "way back" (1977) and said I want to put these in a group show next month. Sure we should talk about a larger show of all your work later on, but I want these for the April show.
Then . .. I was reading the NY Times a couple weeks ago and learned that there is renewed interest in color field painters from that era.
see: www.nytimes.com/2008/03/07/art…
also slide show : www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2008…
So . . . in celebration of the article, the renewed interest and not least of all my upcoming exhibition I am posting some newly digitized images of my paintings from that time of which there are about 30.
Hope you enjoy
more to come
(note: One painting from this group is in the permanent collection of the Albright Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY)
