Opening reception | Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2021 Nahmad Contemporary | 10 am - 6 pm Perrotin | 12 - 8 pm New York - New York - In celebration of the 100th birthday of Georges Mathieu (1921-2012), Perrotin and Nahmad Contemporary, in collaboration with the artist’s estate, are pleased to mount the first extensive survey dedicated to Georges Mathieu, founder of Lyrical Abstraction and a pioneer of Action Painting, in the United States. Spread across two New York venues, the presentation reevaluates Mathieu’s significant contributions to the development of post-war abstraction. As a key pioneer of Action Painting, the exhibition will pay particular attention to the artist’s monumental paintings, which exemplify his commitment to the encounter between body and canvas, and which will be presented for the first time in New York. To mark the occasion, we are pleased to publish the first comprehensive monograph on the artist’s life and work, with an essay by Germano Celant and an interview with Nancy Spector. http://www.nahmadcontemporary.com/exhibitions/georges-mathieu Occision du duc Jehan de Bourgogne | Slaughter of the Duke Jehan de Bourgogne, 1957. Oil on canvas. 97 x 195 cm | 38 3/16 x 76 3/4 in. Georges Mathieu was one of the foremost French artists active during the 1950s and 60s. The centenary of his birth offers an ideal occasion to look back at the career of an artist and theorist who dedicated his life to an emotive, gestural, and highly nonrepresentational form of abstraction that had no correlative in the empirical world. The founder of Lyrical Abstraction, a movement that rejected the legacy of European geometric abstraction launched by Picasso’s Cubism and Mondrian’s De Stijl, Mathieu deeply influenced generations of artists working in the realm of performance and action-based painting. — Nancy Spector press release (http://www.nahmadcontemporary.com/exhibitions/georges-mathieu) W A T C H N O W Curator Nancy Spector discusses Georges Mathieu's legacy https://vimeo.com/user124501196 A R T I S T S N E W S https://whitney.org/exhibitions/david-hammons-days-end D A V I D H A M M O N S DAY'S END (2021) Homage to Gordon Matta-Clark Whitney Museum of American Art On permanent view info (https://whitney.org/exhibitions/david-hammons-days-end) https://www.pinaultcollection.com/en/boursedecommerce/david-hammons D A V I D H A M M O N S Bourse de Commerce Pinault Collection, Paris Until Dec. 31, 2021 info (https://www.pinaultcollection.com/en/boursedecommerce/david-hammons) J E A N - M I C H E L B A S Q U I A T 13 works by Jean-Michel Basquiat The Broad, Los Angeles info (https://www.thebroad.org/) A L E X A N D E R C A L D E R Modern from the Start MoMA Until Aug. 7, 2021 info (https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/5209) https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2021/event/jean-dubuffet-brutal-beauty J E A N D U B U F F E T Brutal Beauty Barbican Centre, London Until Aug. 22, 2021 info (https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2021/event/jean-dubuffet-brutal-beauty) Pierre Matisse, an Art Dealer in New York Musée Matisse, Nice Until Sept. 30, 2021 info (https://www.musee-matisse-nice.org/en/exposition/pierre-matisse-un-marchand-dart-a-new-york-2/) https://www.pinaultcollection.com/en/boursedecommerce/urs-fischer U R S F I S C H E R Bourse de Commerce Pinault Collection, Paris Until Dec. 31, 2021 info (https://www.pinaultcollection.com/en/boursedecommerce/urs-fischer) P A B L O P I C A S S O Collection Nahmad | Ten Masterpieces Picasso Museum, Antibes Until Oct. 31, 2021 info (https://en.calameo.com/read/002074504617b97a5dd7c) Picasso & Les Femmes d'Alger Berggruen Museum, Berlin Until Aug 8, 2021 info (https://www.smb.museum/en/museums-institutions/museum-berggruen/exhibitions/detail/picasso-les-femmes-dalger/) R U D O L F S T I N G E L Bourse de Commerce Pinault Collection, Paris Until Dec. 31, 2021 info (https://www.pinaultcollection.com/en/boursedecommerce/rudolf-stingel) NAHMAD CONTEMPORARY 980 MADISON AVE ⎮ NEW YORK ⎮ NY ⎮10075 [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) +1 646 449 9118 Monday-Saturday, 10AM-6PM THE GALLERY IS OPEN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY UNTIL SEPT. 7, 2021 http://www.nahmadcontemporary.com/ https://www.instagram.com/nahmadcontemporary/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/Nahmad-Contemporary-761104604029387/ https://www.twitter.com/Joe_Nahmad/ © Georges Mathieu / ADAGP, Paris & ARS New York, 2021. ©️ Miró / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / ADAGP, Paris 2021 ©️ David Hammons, Day's End (2021) under construction at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
