Lynne Drexler: The Seventies
White Cube is pleased to present the first exhibition in Asia of paintings by American artist Lynne Drexler (1928–99).
Coinciding with Art Basel Hong Kong, ‘Lynne Drexler: The Seventies’ will debut never-before-seen works created during a pivotal decade in the artist’s practice.
Affiliated with the second-generation Abstract Expressionist movement, the artist’s vivid chromatic compositions reflect a breadth of stylistic influences, drawing from Impressionism, Fauvism and Pointillism, as well as classical music and the natural landscape. Executed through tessellated rectangles of paint, Drexler’s colour fields emanate an organic, kinetic dynamism.
The exhibition follows White Cube’s first solo presentation of her work at Mason’s Yard, London, in November 2024, and the gallery’s announcement of the representation of The Lynne Drexler Archive in 2023.
