SUMMARY:Frieze New York 2023
DESCRIPTION:For Frieze New York 2023\, Michael Rosenfeld Gallery is pleased to present 1973\, a group exhibition featuring works created in the months leading up to and immediately following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision of January 22\, 1973 in the case of Roe v. Wade. Widely understood as a major victory for the second-wave feminist movement that was then at its peak\, the ruling was a watershed moment for the nation and many artists were commensurately inspired by the empowerment it granted. Fifty years hence\, the revocation of the rights conferred by Roe has revealed the disproportionate measure of power wielded by an unelected group of judges acting on behalf of the minority of Americans who oppose such freedoms. Coming into artistic maturity in an era of overt social and institutional sexism\, the artists exhibited in 1973 levied their cultural cachet and risked the future of their careers to resist the dominant social and political powers in a variety of ways. \nForegrounding themes of physical compromise\, convalescence\, and psychic resilience\, Booth D11 features an interdisciplinary selection of works by a diverse roster of artists including Magdalena Abakanowicz (1930–2017)\, Hannelore Baron (1926–1987)\, Mary Bauermeister (1934–2023)\, Lee Bontecou (1931–2022)\, Jay DeFeo (1929–1989)\, Barbara Chase-Riboud (b.1934)\, Claire Falkenstein (1908–1997)\, Nancy Grossman (b.1940)\, Louise Nevelson (1899–1988)\, Betye Saar (b.1926)\, Alma Thomas (1891–1987)\, and Claire Zeisler (1903–1991). Ranging from the intimately personal to the grandly universal\, 1973 conveys a tangible sense of the manifold materials\, processes\, and iconographies engaged by this revolutionary generation of artists. Though not all of the works in the presentation are overtly political\, an undercurrent of feminist thought\, and political struggle is evident in each artists’ oeuvre and the exhibition as a whole. \nHighlights of 1973 include a standout example from Grossman’s celebrated series of leather-covered head sculptures\, Black (1973–74). Despite their masculine features\, Grossman refers to these sculptures as self-portraits\, as they convey the rage she felt in witnessing the violence sparked by the political and social movements of late 1960s\, when she created the first works in the series. Works such as Black further embody Grossman’s conception of the relationship between the individual and society\, evoking themes of disenfranchisement and suppression. The deliberate confusion of attributes traditionally coded as masculine or feminine was a common technique among the second-generation feminists\, often employed to expose the socially constructed origins of such categorizations. Similarly\, Mary Bauermeister’s Durchwanderung (Nature) (1973–74) is a commentary on the gendered preconceptions that often require women artists to neutralize their femininity in order to be taken seriously in an art world dominated by men. Comprising a sprawling installation of wooden spheres\, pencils\, and one of Bauermeister’s famed lens boxes\, the work opens onto a multitude of implications pertaining to the nature of visual perception\, framing\, and traditional symbols of biological sex (i.e.\, eggs and phalluses). \nMagdalena Abakanowicz’s large-scale textile work\, Kolo I (Orchidee I) (1973)\, likewise addresses prevailing conceptions of gender which reduce the nuances of identity to anatomical attributes of sex. Simultaneously referencing the vulva\, a flower\, and the interior of a tree in which the artist sought safety and solace as a child in Nazi-occupied Poland\, Abakanowicz transforms an understated sisal tondo into a testament to human fragility\, resilience\, and a celebration of the complexities of the natural world. A prime example of Louise Nevelson’s iconic assemblage sculptures\, Untitled (c.1973)\, also elevates objects and themes traditionally relegated to the realm of the home. Here the artist—who eschewed the feminist label\, insisting that she was “an artist who happens to be a woman”—gathers a deliberate selection of common wooden household objects uniformly coated in her signature matte black within an architecturally enclosed structure. By repurposing castoff materials that\, once assembled\, address profound themes such as love and death through a domestic lens\, Nevelson’s sculpture bucks the machismo stereotype associated with the abstract expressionists—especially sculptors working on a large scale. \nFinally\, a selection of drawings by Barbara Chase-Riboud dating to 1973 demonstrate the polymath’s stunning draftsmanship; trained as an architect\, Chase-Riboud is also a poet\, novelist\, and sculptor who takes up distinct but intersecting subjects—often drawn from the history and literature—in each discipline she approaches. The drawings at Booth D11 are structured by the children’s game Hopscotch\, except in lieu of numbers and pebbles\, the artist illustrates large slabs of cut stone\, sinewy ropes\, and inscrutable texts\, alluding to the monuments and languages of ancient civilizations. Bestowing one work in the series with a print of her own lips—Hopscotch with a Kiss (1973)—Chase-Riboud presents an enigmatic group of compositions that speak to both the historical conditions of her personal identity\, corporeal presence\, and the universality of the human experience. \nCreated at a time of intense social and political upheaval\, the works on view in 1973 provide a snapshot of the era’s cultural ethos while taking on new valences of meaning in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision of last year. As the U.S. returns to an era of forced pregnancy and unsafe abortions on what should have been the fiftieth anniversary of the federal protection of reproductive rights\, it is our hope that this tragic loss of bodily autonomy will be met with commensurate opposition to the social and governmental powers who have brought about this result.

SUMMARY:William T. Williams: 1970 at Frieze New York 2019
DESCRIPTION:Michael Rosenfeld Gallery presents William T. Williams: 1970 in Booth D10 with an exhibition that focuses on the pivotal year 1970\, highlighting a selection of seminal paintings and never-before-exhibited works on paper from the artist’s first mature series\, Diamond in a Box. William T. Williams (b.1942) exploded onto the New York art scene in 1968 after graduating from Yale University (MFA). Paintings from this time were exhibited in Williams’ groundbreaking first solo exhibition at Reese Palley Gallery in 1971. The exhibition launched a period of great success; reviewed in The New York Times\, paintings in the show were acquired by notable collectors; some of these paintings can now be found in prestigious institutions\, including The Museum of Modern Art\, The Studio Museum in Harlem\, and Yale University Art Gallery. Recently\, while relocating his studio practice from New York City to Connecticut\, Williams discovered approximately eighteen works on paper created during the same period as these monumental paintings. Michael Rosenfeld Gallery will present these works alongside two major paintings. Michael Rosenfeld Gallery is the exclusive representative of William T. Williams (b.1942). \nOn Sunday\, May 5\, 2019\, Frieze will present a conversation between William T. Williams and Courtney J. Martin\, Deputy Director and Chief Curator\, Dia Art Foundation. Transcending the Social – 1970 and Today considers the role of abstraction and formalism in an age of social awareness\, and will be held in the MatchesFashion Lounge at 12:30PM.

SUMMARY:Norman Lewis: The Last Decade at Frieze New York 2019
DESCRIPTION:Norman Lewis: The Last Decade will be presented in Booth JAM3\, one of seven booths dedicated to the historical significance of the non-profit New York arts organization Just Above Midtown (JAM)\, its founder Linda Goode Bryant\, and the artists she championed. This special section has been curated by Franklin Sirmans\, Director\, Pérez Art Museum Miami as a tribute to the pioneering gallery. Michael Rosenfeld Gallery’s solo presentation of the work of Norman Lewis (1909-1979) will feature paintings and works on paper created during the last decade of the artist’s life\, reflecting two distinctive elements of Lewis’ abstract expressionist practice–calligraphic and atmospheric abstraction. A 1973 painting–one of two exhibited in the inaugural 1974 JAM exhibition Synthesis: A combination of parts or elements into a complex whole–will be on view in the booth\, along with works from the same period that typify Lewis’ signature abstractions and masterful use of color\, line and form. Michael Rosenfeld Gallery proudly represents the Estate of Norman Lewis and this exhibition has been organized with their cooperation.
