Small Works of Art featuring Tobi Kahn Paintings
November 18* - December 29, 2007
|
|
Partial view of Gallery with Tobi Kahn featured
|
|
|
Tobi Kahn is a painter and sculptor whose work is both abstract and representational.
Often his subject matter evokes geographical, landscape-like images. His German-Jewish
grandparents escaped Nazi Germany and his Jewish heritage and faith are large influences
on his life and work. A graduate of Pratt Institute and alumni award winner in 2000 for
Outstanding Achievement, his talent has been shown in over 40 solo exhibitions and over 60
museum and group shows since he was selected as one of nine artists to be included in the 1985
Guggenheim Museum exhibition, New Horizons in American Art.

Politically Incorrect with Adolf Dehn
January 2 - January 11, 2008
|
"Hell isn't it? Having to wear these cloths" by Adolf Dehn,
Ink, 14" x 18", ca. 1931
|
In a world in which we are ever mindful of offending others, this show will surely
put you at ease knowing that no one is safe from being the subject of one of Adolf
Dehn's satirical prints, paintings, and lithographs. Born in Minnesota in 1895 to free-thinking,
iconoclast parents, it is not surprising that Dehn combined his talent for sketching, his sense of humor, and his
complete disregard for traditionally sacred, taboo, or socially off-limits subject matters,
into a successful art career. Surviving the Great Depression by selling works to magazines such as The
New Yorker, Vogue, and Vanity Fair, Dehn's works were included in the AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts)
"Fifty Prints of the Year" from 1929 to 1936. His caricatures, equally likely to reduce burlesque dancers
and affluent women to swirls and curves, poke fun at all levels of society.

|
Amora

Trinity

|
New York born artist, Lorrie Goulet is known as one of America's foremost twentieth century
sculptors. Having studied as a child under Amiee Voorhees at the Inwood Pottery Studios
and in her teens at Black Mountain College, North Carolina, under Josef Albers, Goulet's first major solo
exhibition took place while she was still in her early 20s, at the Clay club Sculpture Center in New
York City. In the years that followed her initial solo exhibition other major exhibitions were housed at
the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the American Federation of Art, as well as in international
exhibitions in Barcelona, Algiers, and Zagreb. New York Public Library and the Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden,
Washington, D.C., are a few of the public collection that include her work. This one man show will be the third
time the gallery has done a solo exhibition of her work.

Hunt Slonem's New Paintings
January 27* - February 8, 2008
|
"Monarchs" by Hunt Slonem,
Oil on canvas, 40" x 30",2007
|
Recognizable by his fancy frames - both on his face (glasses) and surrounding his oil
paintings - Hunt Slonem is an artist that, among many other things, enjoys finding
and collecting unique and elaborate frames for his works. This exhibition will showcase Slonem's more ornately
framed works. These frames often inspired the work that they house; other times the
piece is not complete until the perfect frame is slipped on like a glove. "Pleasure Palaces: The Art &
Homes of Hunt Slonem", a new book illustrates Slonem's love for collecting and the influence
his living space has on his work.

Robert Vickrey: Mini Retrospective of the Master Realist
February 10* - February 22, 2008
|
"Moon Bright" by Robert Vickrey,
Egg tempera on gesso panel, 22" x 21", 2007
|
|
Decade after decade, Robert Vickrey remains one of America's foremost realists. Like most
artists, his subject matter has changed with different periods of his life, but his technique remained constant.
New works will be shown along side works from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. With pieces in numerous
museums including the National Museum of American Art, the National Academy of Design, the
Brooklyn Museum, the Butler Institute of American Art, the Chrysler Museum, the MET, Whitney,
and the Corcoran Gallery, and 78 works published on Time magazine covers, no contemporary artist is
better known for egg tempera than Vickrey.

Bob Kane:
From Paris to Provence
February 24* - March 7, 2008
|
"Les Toits des Paris Quartier Latin" by Bob Kane,
Oil on canvas, 25" x 20", 2007
|
This year's show travels through France from bustling Paris to the aromatic
Provence. The energy, the mood, and the essence of life in France are captured by
Bob Kane in these works. Kane's oils radiate with the electricity of a Parisian night
club and the romance of a seaside cafe. With two works now in the permanent collection of
New York's Museum of Modern Art, his career is excelling as well.

Robert Kipniss

"Hillside in Motion" by Robert Kipniss
Oil on panel, 25” x 30”, 2007

|
Known for monochromatic oil paintings, as well as for his successes in printmaking, Robert
Kipniss has his third one man show with the gallery this year. His landscapes and outdoor
works evoke emotion, while his still lives reflect tranquility and balance. thought provoking
and esthetically pleasing, his works conjure memories and the feelings attached with those
memories as you wonder from work to work in the show. A new book was also published last year
on his work.

Richard Segalman:
New Oils, Monotypes, Pastels, & Watercolors
March 23* - April 4, 2008
|
"Evening Clouds" by Richard Segalman,
oil on canvas, 18" x 20", 2007
|
A champion at conveying emotion in oil, monotype, and watercolor, without necessarily showing facial expressions, and
suggesting movement and motion in a seemingly tranquil or isolated setting, Richard
Segalman is adored for his alluring works. This year's show will include brand new works by
this nationally collected artist. Segalman has shown in Naples since 1961, and with our Gallery since 1982, making him the most popular artist we have
ever witnessed.

Will Barnet:
Major Works on Paper
April 6* - April 18, 2008
|
"Summer Idyll" by Will Barnet,
Mixed media on paper, 34" x 44", 1975-2007
|
An influential force on so many contemporary artists, Will Barnet has been teacher,
friend, and supporter to the modern art world. Still painting at 96, Barnet has changed
his style significantly at different points in his career. Initially influenced by
expressionism, he next explored more abstract art in the 1950s and 1960s, finally evolving
into the more figurative works of silhouetted forms matched with backgrounds dominated by
geometric shapes. His contemporary works display his intense appreciation for beauty, truth,
and harmony. This retrospective is an unique opportunity to view a representation of the prolific
life of this master print-maker and painter.

charming and intimate scenes of domestic life.
