Perle Fine: The Cool Series
10 Nov, 2011 - 10 Dec, 2011
Spanierman Modern is pleased to announce the opening on November 10, 2011 of Perle Fine: The Cool Series (1961-1963), presenting the distinctive Color Field paintings created by Fine, an artist who was at the center of the Abstract Expressionist movement. Developing according to Fine from 鈥渁 need within the painting to express more,鈥� the Cool Series paralleled the gestalt in the art world in the early 1960s, as artists turned from the angst of the art of an earlier generation to a more tranquil mode in which a painting, through its form and color, spoke for itself. Although new attention has been focused on Fine鈥檚 art in recent years, this is the first exhibition to feature this series since they were first seen in 1963 and 1964. Curated by Christine Berry, the show is accompanied by a catalogue, available from the gallery for $25, with full-color illustrations and an essay by Lisa N. Peters, Ph.D.
