Torn Canvas

Gary Snyder Gallery is pleased to announce Al Loving: Torn Canvas, an exhibition of mixed media constructions and works on paper at 529 West 20th Street. Opening on November 1, 2012, the exhibition is Loving’s first since his death in 2005. Five of the artist’s monumentally scaled, dyed and torn fabric wallhangings will be on view, as well as a selection of handmade paper collages, many of which have never before been exhibited. A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition, with an essay by Katy Siegel.

The exhibition and its accompanying publication provide an in-depth look at the artist’s work from 1973 to 1985—sweeping expanses of richly colored cut and sewn fabric suspended on the wall, as seen in works such as Self-Portrait #23 (c. 1973).

Gary Snyder Gallery is pleased to represent the Estate of Al Loving.
