In my view, non-objective and abstract art have a special role in describing non-Newtonian reality—a reality in which our five senses are of little use.
Now on view at David Klein Gallery in Birmingham, MI. This handsome solo exhibition presents twenty of Held’s works on paper from 1960. Consisting of only one or two swiftly applied brushstrokes of India ink on paper, these lean and organic compositions offer an intriguing preamble to Held’s more recognizable hard-edged abstractions.
We are pleased to announce an exhibition of watercolors by Al Held, presented by White Cube Paris. Joyfully chromatic, Held’s watercolors were a place where he could freely formulate ideas and willfully progress his imagery. They served as springboards for new ideas in his large-scale acrylic paintings.
