Robert Irwin 1970 the Museum of Modern Art Book

Publicar un comentario

Scrim veil—Blackness rectangle—Natural light, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1977), by California Light and Space artist Robert Irwin, is a big-scale installation that uniquely engages the Whitney'southward iconic Breuer edifice and the natural lite that emanates from the large window in the fourth floor gallery space. Part of the Whitney's drove, the work was fabricated specifically for the Museum's quaternary flooring. Information technology has not been exhibited since its 1977 debut, a pivotal moment that would prepare the course for Irwin's subsequent artistic practice.

The presentation will be accompanied by a digitized version of the original Robert Irwin catalogue, published by the Whitney at the fourth dimension of his 1977 exhibition, which includes an ambitious combination of images, project plans, and theoretical texts written by Irwin himself as well as biographical and exhibition information compiled by the exhibition's curator, Richard Marshall. The catalogue will be updated with a new introduction past Whitney Principal Curator Donna De Salvo and will be available for viewing exclusively at whitney.org.

Robert Irwin: Scrim veil—Black rectangle—Natural light, Whitney Museum of American Fine art, New York (1977) is organized by Donna De Salvo, Chief Curator and Deputy Director for Programs.

Exhibition Catalogue

Originally published in conjunction with Robert Irwin's 1977 retrospective at the Whitney, this exhibition catalogue has been digitized to coincide with the reinstallation of Scrim veil—Black rectangle—Natural light, Whitney Museum of American Art (1977) on the fourth floor of the Museum. Created in close collaboration with the artist at the fourth dimension of the original exhibition, this volume contains Irwin's seminal essay "Notes Toward a Model" in which he puts forth his thinking nearly aesthetics, perception, conception, experience, and the thought of compounded abstraction. It too includes documentation of and plans for some of the artist's other projects besides equally a short chronology and selected exhibition history and bibliography. A new introduction by Donna De Salvo, Chief Curator and Deputy Managing director for Programs, offers insight into how and why Irwin's work continues to resonate today.
