Join us at Hauser & Wirth 22nd Street for a walkthrough of new exhibitions: 'Nicolas Party: Swamp' and 'Ed Clark: The Big Sweep.' Teaching artists and arts educators of all contexts and disciplines are encouraged to attend.
This is a free event, and RSVP is required.
For his first solo exhibition with Hauser & Wirth in New York City, Nicolas Party will transform the entire first floor of the gallery’s 22nd Street building into a vibrant world of visual enchantment. Featuring new oil-on-copper compositions, painted cabinets, signature pastel works and two site-specific murals that expand upon the artist’s most recent series--Swamp and Red Forest––the exhibition will immerse viewers in Party’s idiosyncratic practice, which simultaneously celebrates and challenges conventions of representational painting.
Unfolding over two floors of the West 22nd Street gallery, the exhibition spans six decades of Clark’s profoundly influential practice, from his revolutionary use of push brooms as painting tools to his breakthrough introduction of the shaped canvas and beyond. The exhibition will be accompanied by the release of ‘Ed Clark: The Big Sweep,’ a comprehensive new book produced by Hauser & Wirth Publishers.
