R.H. Quaytman the Art Darling
so last night we were out having drinks with some gallery people, and R.H. Quaytman kept coming up. She has been a ‘new’ darling of the art world for a while…and we wanted to show a few images as well as some background of Quaytman, as she also is a fellow native New Englander. Some details below, and a few works by her. Enjoy!
Most of these works were on display at MIGUEL ABREU GALLERY, NEW YORK, USA
R.H. Quaytman, Chapter 12: iamb (2008)
Chapter 12: iamb (blind smile) (2008)
R.H. Quaytman Chapter 12: iamb (Fresnell lens) 2008 diamond dust, silkscreen, gesso on wood 32.5″ x 52.5″
R.H. Quaytman Chapter 12: iamb silkscreen, gesso on wood 32.5″ x 20″
Chapter 12: iamb, (lateral inhibitions in the perceptual field), 2008 Silkscreen, gesso on wood
R. H. Quaytman’s paintings to date, which are organized into chapters, can be seen as an ongoing archive in which each new painting or series is informed by what came before it. A single image or event acts as a starting point for each chapter. For example, Distracting Distance, Chapter 16, which was specifically conceived for the Biennial, references the Whitney’s building and history. The central motif is the Marcel Breuer–designed window in this space, which appears in Quaytman’s restaging of the Museum’s Edward Hopper painting A Woman in the Sun (1961). The artist K8 Hardy stands in for the woman in the sun. Silkscreened optical patterning attunes viewers to the physical act of perception, while trompe l’oeil depictions of the panel’s edges remind the viewer that the paintings are physical objects rather than simply images. In the artist’s words, “I seek to maintain and simultaneously disrupt painting’s absolute presence.” Quaytman allows these contradictory attitudes toward painting to emerge and reverberate across this carefully installed exhibition space.

“In August 1953, on assignment for Look magazine, the photographer Tony Vaccaro visited Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner at their home in Springs. He photographed the two artists in the house and the barn studio, where the couple chatted with neighbors and Pollock discussed his paintings in progress. The Look article was never published, and color film from the photo shoot that was turned over to the magazine’s editor has been lost. Fortunately Vaccaro kept the black and white film, from which the prints in this exhibition are taken. Few of them have been published, and many have never before been printed. They complement the small selection on view in the permanent exhibition inside the Pollock-Krasner studio.
There will be a reception and gallery talk by Tony Vaccaro on Sunday, August 1 at 5:00 pm. Although his pictures have appeared in publications worldwide for more than 60 years, he is primarily known for his images of World War II. While serving in the US Army’s 83rd Infantry Division in Europe, he became an official photographer for the division’s newspaper. After the war, he worked first as a photographer for the US authorities and later for Stars and Stripes. He continued to document post-war life in Europe until 1949, when he returned to the United States and began working for Life, Look and Flair magazines, photographing many prominent figures in politics, business and the arts. A book of his wartime photographs, Entering Germany: Photographs 1944-1949, was published in 2001.” Pollock Krasner House
