º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ

Deconstructing pictorial conventions of the past, artists of the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first century reinvented the picture plane. This installation presents extreme positions, including flat silkscreens and thickly built-up oils, each circumventing more traditional, expressive forms of paint application. The installation presents a confluence of high-profile loans from private collections and significant recent acquisitions.
