Ralph Humphrey

Gary Snyder Gallery is pleased to announce Ralph Humphrey, an exhibition of paintings and works on paper at 529 West 20th Street. Opening on September 13, 2012, the exhibition is Humphrey’s first in a New York gallery since 1998. Fifteen of the artist’s thickly impastoed abstract paintings will be on view, as well as a selection of works on paper. A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition, with contributions from Klaus Kertess, David Pagel, and Stephen Westfall.

The exhibition and its accompanying publication provide a detailed view of the artist’s work from 1973 to 1984—hulking masses of casein and modeling paste in a palette of intense colors, as seen in works such as Untitled (1973), Christmas Story (1979-1980), and Forest (1984).

Gary Snyder Gallery is pleased to represent the Estate of Ralph Humphrey.
