Frieze Masters

For the 2016 edition of Frieze Masters, Spotlight, Garth Greenan Gallery presents a solo-exhibition of works by Al Loving—Al Loving: 1969. The three works included were all featured in the artist’s solo-exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art (December 19, 1969–January 25, 1970), the first in the Museum’s history by an African-American artist. Our booth presentation will be the first time that these works have been shown since then.

Born in Detroit in 1935, Loving relocated to New York in 1968. Unlike other African-American artists whose art focused on the racial politics of the era, Loving was a staunch abstractionist. His works were built upon strict yet simple geometric shapes—often hexagonal or cubic modules.

Garth Greenan Gallery is pleased to represent the Estate of Al Loving.
