OPENING THURSDAY. “Perle Fine: The Accordment Series” 2/13/20, 6-8pm. Perle Fine’s connection with Minimalism is clear. Kathleen Housley states in her seminal book, “Tranquil Power: The Art and Life of Perle Fine:” “Close in age and in temperament, Fine and [Agnes] Martin shared many similarities, one being that their art was routinely described by critics as ‘atmospheric’ and ‘classic.’” The two artists appeared together in a group show at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1962 called “Geometric Abstraction in America.” Perle Fine’s grids are set apart from minimalist tendencies by using colorful lines, planes of color, and sweeping brushstrokes. Housley states: “Fine’s unique strength was, and always had been, her use of color.” #perlefine #fine #9thstreet #9thstreetshow #9thstreetwomen #womenofabstractexpressionism #minimalism #colorpainting #asl #hanshofmann #hofstra #hamptonsartist #guildhall #accordment #accordmentseries #chelseagalleries #openingnight #artinstallation #openingreception #thursdaynight #galleryhopping #nycart #womenartists #womenartdealers #berrycampbell (at Berry Campbell) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8agUGyFq7B/?igshid=eba0ed2np4vy
