SUMMARY:William N. Copley | The New York Years
DESCRIPTION:Kasmin is pleased to present William N. Copley The New York Years\, a comprehensive look at the evolution of the artist’s painting during three pivotal decades in New York City. The exhibition\, on view at 509 West 27th Street from March 11\, 2020\, will trace this central period through key paintings from multiple series and a corresponding presentation of photographic\, publishing\, and research materials drawn from the archives of the William N. Copley Estate. This is Kasmin’s sixth solo exhibition of the artist’s work since the gallery began representing the Estate in 2010. \n“I’d been born in that town but didn’t remember it\,” Copley said of New York in his memoir Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dealer. Copley’s decision to move to the city—when the artist was 44—marked a return to the American scene after twelve years living in France. Copley’s early career had been one of a self-taught outsider working in Paris\, where\, under the influence of Surrealism\, Copley developed a unique personal iconography. This “private mythology\,” as he would call it\, explored sexual politics and his culturally repressive upbringing. Copley’s eccentric style and his humorous\, amatory themes led to commercial success and exhibitions throughout Europe in the 1950s. Copley returned to the US in 1963\, at a time when the Paris scene had grown quiet and New York was enjoying a period of explosive artistic activity. \nIncluded in the exhibition are major works originally exhibited at Copley’s first shows as an artist based in New York. These works\, such as Tomb of the Unknown Whore (1965) and What’s Your Hurry (1965)\, reveal Copley’s shift to working at a larger scale and utilizing line drawing as a technique in his paintings. Copley’s switch from oil paints to acrylics\, which allowed him to work faster and gave him new freedoms\, coincided with a prolific series of colorful\, narrative paintings adapted from the works Robert W. Service and other folk balladeers popular in the late 19th and early 20th century. These paintings are represented in The New York Years with Then In Meandered Deep-Hole Dan Once Comrade of the Cup (1967). Of special note in the exhibition is the large painting I Am Awarded My Handbag and Declared a Professional (1986)\, which was displayed in the artist’s immersive New Museum installation Tomb of the Unknown Whore in 1986. It is exhibited here for the first time in New York since the original exhibition. \nBeginning in 1970\, Copley started rendering items from old Sears\, Roebuck & Co. catalogs in a loose\, suggestive manner. Dubbed the Nouns\, these everyday items were paired with geometric background patterns in a style similar to\, or quietly critical of\, Hard-edge and Op-style painting. Copley at once further developed this painterly language and consummated his interest in erotic subject matter with the X-Rated series\, which he began two years later in 1972. Indebted to the adult magazines sold along 42nd street and Times Square\, the works feature figures in various stages of sexual congress and are marked by bold contour lines and lyrical color palettes. Speaking of the X-Rated exhibition held at the New York Cultural Center in 1974\, Copley remarked\, “I am attempting to break through the barrier of pornography into the area of joy.” Works from the Nouns and X-Rated series are presented in dialogue in William N. Copley The New York Years. \nNew York also provided Copley an ideal setting for his non-painting activities. In 1967\, Copley founded The Letter Edged In Black Press\, Inc.\, which published the groundbreaking art periodical S.M.S. for six issues in 1968. S.M.S. featured facsimile multiples from an intergenerational group of artists\, many of whom Copley met in New York and who would congregate at the artist’s publishing office on the Upper West Side. (Among the friends and contributors were Roy Lichtenstein\, Bruce Nauman\, Yoko Ono\, Christo\, Lee Lozano\, John Cage\, and Copley’s close friend and mentor Marcel Duchamp.) S.M.S. publications will be on view in the exhibition along with associated artworks and ephemera. \nIn the 1980s\, Copley began dividing time between New York and homes in Roxbury\, Connecticut\, and Key West\, Florida. Though he began to withdraw from New York’s art world\, he maintained a prolific focus on painting and his work grew in complexity and ambiguity. The late gallerist Phyllis Kind—known for her patronage of outsider art and directive support of the Chicago Imagists—became Copley’s primary New York dealer\, staging five solo exhibitions at her Greene Street space in Soho between 1982 and 1991. Untitled (Apples & Oranges) (1986) dates from this period and is exemplary of Copley’s late style\, employing multilayered compositions and collaged textiles such as lace fabric. \nIn addition to the key works on view\, William N. Copley The New York Years will present a timeline of the artist’s numerous activities during his tenure in New York. Visitors will encounter an in-depth picture of his consequential return to the New York scene\, where Copley forged his mature identity as an artist and painter. \nWilliam N. Copley\, (1919–1996)\, known by his signature name CPLY\, (pronounced ‘see-ply’)\, was a painter\, writer\, gallerist\, art patron\, publisher\, and art entrepreneur. In his lifetime\, Copley was the subject of multiple European retrospectives\, including Stedlijk Museum (1966)\, Kunsthalle Bern (1980)\, and Kestner-Gessellschaft (1995). Recent major institutional exhibitions have been held at The Menil Collection\, Houston\, and Fondazione Prada\, Italy. His work is held in private and public collections worldwide\, such as the Museum of Modern Art\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, Stedelijk Museum and many more. \nThe New York Years completes a trio of coordinated international exhibitions that will present major series of works by William N. Copley in the first part of 2020. See The Ballad of William N. Copley at Galerie Max Hetzler\, Berlin\, from January 17\, William N. Copley: The Temptation of St. Anthony (Revisited) at Nino Mier\, Los Angeles\, from February 15\, and The New York Years at Kasmin\, New York\, from March 11. \nFor press inquiries\, please contact Molly Taylor | molly@kasmingallery.com \n\nImage:\nWilliam N.

SUMMARY:James Nares: Monuments
DESCRIPTION:Kasmin is pleased to present an exhibition of James Nares’ newest body of work\, entitled Monuments\, on view at 509 West 27th Street between May 23 – June 29\, 2019. \nNew York City’s oldest surviving downtown sidewalks were made almost 200 years ago by immigrant masons who lined the streets with giant paving stones of solid granite. These monolithic slabs they then chiseled with improvised marks and designs\, to prevent pedestrians from slipping. These carvings have withstood the erosion of time and foot traffic\, leaving a record of free thought and personal markings from the hands and minds of long-forgotten workmen. \nNares made wax frottage rubbings of selected stones and brought them back to his studio where he gilded them with 22-carat gold. Hanging vertically on the wall\, they are shining monuments to whom he calls\, “the unknown souls whose touch still lingers on the city’s sidewalks.” \nContinuing Nares’ lifelong investigation into motion\, time and gesture —the “central conceits of Nares’ artistic production”1—these works register the topography of the city which has acted as protagonist and collaborator throughout his oeuvre\, notably in films such as Ramp (1976) and STREET (2011). Tracing the materiality of lower Manhattan\, where Nares has lived and worked since the 1970s\, the works spotlight immigrant labor and its integral place in the fabric of the city. \nABOUT JAMES NARES\nOver the course of a five-decade career\, Nares has investigated\, challenged\, and expanded the boundaries of his multimedia practice that encompasses film\, music\, painting\, photography\, and performance. He continues to employ various media to explore physicality\, motion\, and the unfolding of time. \nThis summer\, the Milwaukee Art Museum will show a major retrospective\, Nares: Moves. The artist has been the subject of solo exhibitions at\, among others\, the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York; the National Gallery of Art\, Washington\, D.C.; and Alte Oper\, Frankfurt. Nares is included in several prominent public collections\, including the Albright-Knox Gallery\, Buffalo\, NY; The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York; Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. A career-spanning survey of his film and video works were presented in 2008 at Anthology Film Archives\, New York; and in 2011 at IFC Center\, New York. In 2014\, Rizzoli published a comprehensive monograph on Nares’ career to date. Nares has lived and worked in New York since 1974. He has been represented by Kasmin since 1991. \n1 Marcelle Polednik\, PhD\, Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director. Excerpted from “James Nares: Motion Pictures” from the exhibition catalogue “Nares: Moves\,” Milwaukee Art Museum.
