Greenberg Van Doren Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition titled Tête à Tête, on view from June 8 – July 8, 2005. Organized by artist and curator Augusto Arbizo, the show features work by over 30 artists: modern and contemporary masters in dialogue with living artists both established and emerging, grouping works by each in spirited ‘conversations’.
The show will feature drawing, painting, photography, and sculpture from varying genres and periods in efforts to reconcile generational differences with formal and conceptual affinities. The show attempts to bridge deceptively ambiguous gaps as well as highlight obvious antecedents. For example, a little known suite of silkscreens titled ‘Abstract Sculpture’ by Andy Warhol is installed with ‘paintings’ by young conceptual artist Wade Guyton. Radiant lines connect drawings by Mark Grotjahn and Dorothea Rockburne. A 70s portrait by Barkley Hendricks is paired with a recent ‘Diva Fiction’ by Kurt Kauper. Humor and sharp wit bring together the brightly graphic work of Lamar Peterson and John Wesley. The intimate newsprint drawings of James Brooks and Christian Holstad – while made 50 years apart – prove harmonious side by side. Gerhard Richter and Tim Davis subvert the relationship between photography and painting. And a more formal group of paintings puts into play the multi-hued and stacked forms of Paul Feeley and Ray Parker with contemporary examples by Jerald Ieans and Monique Prieto.
The groupings and arrangements in Tête à Tête will not merely endeavor to solicit a critical spirit, inviting contrast and comparison. Instead, it will bring together images and artworks with shared and linked histories in simpatico.
