Richard Pousette-Dart: The Centennial at Pace Gallery

Pace Gallery is pleased to announce Richard Pousette-Dart: The Centennial, an exhibition celebrating the 100th anniversary of the artist’s birthday. This exhibition also marks the 75th anniversary of his first gallery show, held at Artists’ Gallery, New York, in 1941.

Richard Pousette-Dart: The Centennial will present a selection of eighteen paintings spanning four decades, from the 1940s through the 1980s. The works on view relate the artist’s development from his early Abstract Expressionist works to his later paintings that he called “presences.” Pousette-Dart’s paintings display remarkable experimentation and a wide range of techniques with brush, palette knife and even paint squeezed directly from the tube. The uniqueness of each work proves the painter’s claim that “every painting is a new experience and departure into the unknown.”
