Developing Abstraction through Collage considers how pioneer American abstract artists created their non-objective compositions. The exhibition of over 30 paintings and collages from 1934 to 1951 focuses on the American Abstract Artists group (founded 1936) and the circle around Hilla Rebay and the Museum of Non-Objective Painting (founded 1937, now the Guggenheim). Artists include: Charles Biederman, Emil Bisttram, Ilya Bolotowsky, Werner Drewes, A. E. Gallatin, Balcomb and Gertrude Greene, Carl Holty, Raymond Jonson, George L. K. Morris, Charles Green Shaw, Esphyr Slobodkina, Stuart Walker, and Jean Xceron. The exhibition features women who exhibited at the Museum of Non-Objective Painting: its founder Hilla Rebay, Dorothy Morang, and Marguerite Hohenberg. A catalogue accompanies the exhibition.
The gallery welcomes visitors and is open Monday - Friday 10-6 through the summer.
