| Still Exhibit- Albright Knox |
The first time I went to the Albright Knox Art Gallery was also the first time I saw Clyfford Still. The experience left me with a love of both. Apparently, Mr. Still also liked the cut of the gallery's jib, as he gifted 31 of his canvases to the Albright Knox. Indeed the place has a reputation amongst art lovers worldwide, housing some spectacular examples of Modern European, American and Contemporary art, as well as Impressionism and Post-impressionism. From Gauguin, Van Gogh, Chagall, and Picasso to Lichtenstein, O'Keefe, Warhol and Bourgeois, the collection spans the artistic acheivement of the last century and beyond. The gallery posseses the largest publicly held collection of art by Clyfford Still, numbering thirty-three canvases. Twenty two of these masterpieces will be on display all through the summer in a special exhibit, along with the work of Mark Bradford, who has selected Still's work. This renowned American artist has created paintings especially for this exhibit celebrating Still's influence on art and abstract expressionism, specifically. Time for a summer love. Catch the Still/Bradford exhibit until October 9th.
