Paintings, 1974-1980

Garth Greenan Gallery is pleased to announce, Howardena Pindell: Paintings, 1974-1980, an exhibition of paintings, collages, and drawings at 529 West 20th Street. Opening on Thursday, April 10, 2014, the exhibition is the first presentation of Pindell’s work in a New York gallery in nearly a decade. Eight of the artist’s large-scale, abstract paintings will be on view, most of which have never before been exhibited. A fully illustrated catalogue—Pindell’s first since 1992—will accompany the exhibition, with an essay by Barry Schwabsky.

The exhibition and its accompanying publication provide an overview of Pindell’s work from 1974 to 1980, during which Pindell began a metaphorical process of destruction/reconstruction in her work, often cutting the canvas in strips and sewing them back together, then building up the surface in elaborate stages.
