Art Informel Presented by Nahmad
Jan 08, 2022 - Jan 23, 2022
Nahmad is pleased to present Art Informel at Sotheby鈥檚 Palm Beach. Showcasing a collection of seminal post-war European artists, this exhibition features the innovative and gestural paintings of Art Informel pioneers Jean Dubuffet, Nicolas de Sta毛l, Jean Fautrier, Hans Hartung, Georges Mathieu, Serge Poliakoff, Jean Paul Riopelle, and Antoni T脿pies. Characterized by a type of abstraction in which form becomes secondary to the expressive impulses of the artist, Art Informel refers to the style of art that emerged in Europe in the 1940s in the wake of the second world war. Defying the unemotional intellectualism of Cubism and other geometric forms that dominated pre-war years, artists sought to forge a visual vocabulary and express the newfound realities of contemporary experience. While American artists turned to Abstract Expressionism, comprising action and color field painters, European artists adopted their own abstracted form of expression.
