Now through June 9th, the Mnuchin Gallery is hosting Reds , an exhibition offering a focused look at artists’ use of red over sixty years, from the postwar period to the present day. Clayton Press, art adviser and faculty member at the Center for Applied Liberal Arts, is the author of the fully illustrated catalog for this exhibition, which features paintings and sculptures by 25 artists including Francis Bacon, Louise Bourgeois, Alexander Calder, Willem de Kooning, Jeff Koons, Yayoi Kusama, and Mark Rothko, to name a few.
Since the cave paintings of Lascaux, the color red has played a starring role in the story of art history. Through the centuries, it has conjured emotions such as love, lust, and rage, and served as a symbol of wealth, war, revolution, and religious sacrifice. Red is one of the most powerful tools in an artist’s color arsenal. Its presence ensures bold visual impact and guarantees our immediate attention.
The Mnuchin Gallery is located at 45 E. 78th Street
Other notable exhibition openings are listed on the Art Dealers Association of America’s website here.
