David Zwirner is pleased to present an exhibition of paintings by Suzan Frecon, the artist’s third solo show at the gallery. On view at 525 West 19th Street in New York will be recent large-scale oil paintings.

Instead, composition works with color, with surface, and with light to create an abstract visual reality that she intends to exist solely on its strength as art. read more...

Kehinde Wiley: A New Republic
at Brooklyn Museum of Art
Brooklyn - New York, NY, USA
Feb 20, 15 - May 24, 15

The works presented in Kehinde Wiley: A New Republic raise questions about race, gender, and the politics of representation by portraying contemporary African American men and women using the conventions of traditional European portraiture. The exhibition includes an overview of the artist’s prolific fourteen-year career and features sixty paintings and sculptures. Wiley's signature portraits of everyday men and women riff on specific paintings by Old Masters, replacing the European aristocrats depicted in those paintings with contemporary black subjects, drawing attention to the absence of African Americans from historical and cultural narratives. read more...

Feb 14, 15 - Mar 21, 15

Ronald Feldman Fine Arts will present Wave & Particle, a group exhibition of more than two dozen artists who are awardees of Creative Capital, in celebration of the organization’s 15th anniversary.  In general, the artists in the exhibition address contemporary issues surrounding conditions that might be rectified; and the selection of artworks embraces the notion of synthesizing contradictory elements.  Using the principle of wave-particle duality in quantum physics as a metaphor, the exhibition muses on how one might describe or consider objects that can be read in more than one way. read more...

Jacci Den Hartog: The Etiquette of Mountains
at Rosamund Felsen Gallery
Santa Monica - Los Angeles, CA, USA
Feb 14, 15 - Mar 14, 15

For her newest exhibition, The Etiquette of Mountains, Jacci den Hartog presents work consisting of painted landscape sculptures at Rosamund Felsen Gallery. Inspired by Aldo Leopold’s A Sand County Almanac (1949) and his writings on ideas of land as community and the delicate equilibrium for which nature constantly aspires, Den Hartog constructs mountain and water forms that appear both tenuous and grounded simultaneously. Seeing mountains as fulcrums from which their environment pivots, a sculpture of icey-blue mountaintops supported by a wooden beam arrangement shares the title of the show. read more...

Denver, CO, USA
Feb 13, 15 - Mar 21, 15

The David B. Smith Gallery is pleased to announce Constructed Histories, curated by William Morrow, opening on Friday, Feb. 13 from 7-9pm.

Cézanne and the Modern: Masterpieces of European Art from the Pearlman Collection
at Vancouver Art Gallery
Vancouver, BC, Canada
Feb 14, 15 - May 18, 15

Henry and Rose Pearlman built an exceptional collection of modernist works during the 1940s and 50s. Central to the Pearlman's collecting interests were two artists, the great expressionist painter Chaïm Soutine, of whose work Henry Pearlman was one of the earliest American collectors, and, most importantly, Paul Cézanne. The jewel of the Pearlman Collection is an astonishing group of twenty-four works by Cézanne, including six oils–such as the major Mont Sainte- Victoire (1904–06)–and a singular collection of eighteen watercolours that covers his entire career as an artist. read more...

at 呕ak Branicka
Berlin, Germany
Feb 14, 15 - Apr 18, 15

呕AK | BRANICKA is pleased to present Immeasurables, the second solo exhibition by Vlatka Horvat charting exciting new territory in her work. The centrepiece of the exhibition is an ambitious new installation, Dimensions Variable, which transforms the space of the gallery using a series of wall-size felt panels, whose dimensions are determined by the dimensions of the room itself. In a process of methodical deconstruction, the artist repeatedly cuts and unfolds the differently coloured felt panels, excavating from them a series of frames and displacing them across the room. read more...

at Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow (MOCAK)
Krakow, Poland
Feb 13, 15 - Apr 26, 15

The organisers of the exhibition hold that the tension between these concepts is the pivot of contemporary Japanese art. The exhibition aims to discover the essence of the ‘Japanese identity’, presenting it in different contexts and attempting to define distinguishing features of its aesthetics. read more...
