SOLO EXHIBITION. Edward Avedisian was included in Whitney Museum annuals in 1963 and 1965 as well as “Young America” in 1965. That same year, this new direction in art was given recognition by the Museum of Modern Art in its exhibition, “The Responsive Eye.” Avedisian was among the artists included in the show that curator William Seitz stated consisted of works that “exist less as objects to be examined than as generators of perceptual responses in the eye and mind of the viewer.” Art Critic John Canaday observed that the exhibition presented art that left behind the “sloppiness” that had previously marked avant-garde in favor of “art forms that demand technical perfection as an integral part of expression.” Berry Campbell will host its second solo exhibition of Avedisian’s work in April 2020.
