Art Basel: Miami Beach

For the 2016 edition of Art Basel: Miami Beach, Survey, Garth Greenan Gallery presents a solo-exhibition of works by Howardena Pindell. The works included—three monumental paintings—provide an overview of the artist’s work from 1971–1973, an incredibly innovative and unique period for the artist.

Among Pindell’s first forays into abstraction, on unprimed canvas, these works have the appearance of vast fields from which light emanates. They also convey the impression of pigment having been beaten into the surface rather than simply applied with a brush.

Only one of the paintings – Untitled (1971) – has ever before been exhibited. Untitled (1973) is the first painting onto which Pindell added her signature: hand-punched paper circles.

Garth Greenan Gallery is pleased to represent Howardena Pindell.
