Robert Motherwell 2015

J erald Melberg Gallery is pleased to present Robert Motherwell: A Centenary Exhibition, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the famed American artist’s birth. The exhibition features collages, paintings and prints highlighting several of the artist’s hallmark styles and periods. R obert Motherwell (1915-1991) was one of the youngest members of the New York School, as well as one of the founders of the Abstract Expressionist movement. Well-educated and highly intellectual, Motherwell was also the leading spokesman for that generation of artists. Like other Abstract Expressionists, Motherwell rejected conventional realism. Instead he was interested in exploring a reality that went beyond the recognizable image.

T his exhibition will travel to Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center in Asheville, NC from September 4 through December 31, 2015.
