IDA KOHLMEYER: ESTATE REPRESENTATION In the 1980s, Kohlmeyer abandoned the grid and allowed geometric shapes to float in watery, atmospheric spaces, again evoking Hofmann’s legacy. In a variation termed the Mythic series, she introduced a new symbolic element in forms suggestive of balls, arrows, and architectural and landscape motifs. She brought together strands of her earlier art in her Circus Series, depicting her distinctive semi-abstract hieroglyphic symbols and signs in complex spatial relationships. She had adopted a new flatness arranging bolder, brighter more clearly defined forms in arrangements that are either open or gridded. Stronger in their patterns, these works have been related to the New York-based Pattern and Decoration movement begun by a group of artists in the early 1970s, including Valerie Jaudon, Joyce Kozloff, Miriam Schapiro, and Kohlmeyer’s friend, Kendall Shaw.

“Pagan Deities,” by Hilda Epner. This work reminds us of the abstract-symbolist work of Ida Kohlmeyer. We liked the work so much we purchased for inventory. Makes a strong impact for not much money. #art #artoftheday #modernart #moderninteriors #interiordesign #abstractart #abstractexpressionism #symbolism #symbolistart #paintingoftheday #idakohlmeyer #femaleartist #affordableart #paintingoftheday

REVIEW IN TUSSLE MAGAZINE Thank you Jonathan Goodman for writing on a body of work that hasn’t been examined before. Ida Kohlmeyer: Cloistered at Berry Campbell, New York. Exhibition review by Jonathan Goodman “Kohlmeyer’s engaging, attractive paintings make it clear that the recognition afforded by this show, somewhat belated, will hopefully re-establish her achievement for the viewing public. This is needed. The artist likely did not intend her work to be seen in a mystical fashion, yet the paintings do remind us of the recently re-found Swedish artist Hilma af Klint’s mystical efforts. The interesting thing about abstraction is that it can be seen simply as it is, or more than as it is--it depends as much upon the viewer as it does the artist in certain bodies of work. In the case of Kohlmeyer, it is wise not to find evidence of cultural, or spiritual, import beyond the forms themselves--this is the crux of any abstract work made in a secular time. But as I have said, her forms imply all sorts of things, which we might, or might not, pay attention to. A show like this is not only an advance for Kohlmeyer, but also for abstract painting’s ability to stand self-sufficiently, on its own--or, possibly, convey meanings that move beyond the actual experience of the forms.” @berrycampbell @tusslemagazine #artreview #jonathangoodman #abstraction #spiritual #cloistered #artmagazine #installationart #soloexhibition #idakohlmeyer #kohlmeyer #berrycampbell #nyc #tusslemagazine (at Berry Campbell) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAMaJF8Fep8/?igshid=1532g38msixa
