“[I want to communicate] an experience of enlightenment. An experience of delight, and well-being, and rightness. It’s like listening to music. Like going to an opera and coming out of it feeling somehow fulfilled that what you just experienced was extraordinary.” —Robert Ryman, 1986

Today we’re celebrating the birthday of Robert Ryman who, for nearly 60 years, dedicated himself to exploring—and questioning—what constitutes a painting. Opening at London’s Barbican Centre in October, Robert Ryman: The Real Thing will chart his extraordinary career and the remarkable variety he produced as he worked across canvas, linen, fiberglass, steel, aluminum, Plexiglass, tracing paper, and coffee filter paper, using a range of paints including oil, acrylic, enamel, and epoxy.

Dana Schutz’s monumental bronze sculpture, Blind Boat, is now on view at the sculpture park at Kistefos Museum. Learn more and plan your visit: https://zwrnr.art/4dnM4fj

Created specifically for the sculpture park, Blind Boat represents a significant development in Schutz’s practice. This ambitious new work is her first outdoor sculpture at this scale, standing seven meters tall and weighing more than 12 tons. These works are first modeled in clay before being cast in bronze, with raw, tactile surfaces that bear the trace of the artist’s hand, demonstrating Schutz’s unique ability to construct dynamic constellations of forms and figures.

Situated in dialogue with the surrounding landscape and the waterfall behind it, the continuous sound of rushing water enhances the work’s sensory qualities, creates an interplay between the solidity of cast bronze and the perception of a dynamic sculpture in motion.

Lisa Yuskavage’s tenth solo exhibition with the gallery since joining 20 years ago is now on view at our 19th Street gallery in New York. In this newest body of work, Yuskavage continues to explore depictions of fictionalized artist’s studios, establishing a dialogue with a tradition of studio portrayals by artists such as , , , , and .

As writer and curator Helen Molesworth noted in The New Yorker, “If you were going to make a list of the great paintings, a lot of them would be studio paintings. And the reality is there are not a lot of pictures like that by women. In my opinion, the scale and the ambition of [Yuskavage’s] work … is aimed squarely at The Museum—capital ‘T,’ capital ‘M’—as an institution.”

Robert Therrien (1947–2019) worked across a variety of mediums including sculpture, painting, photography, drawing, and installation. Over the course of five decades, he developed an array of motifs based on memory, distinguishing his carefully constructed imagery through a deeply imaginative sensibility. The artist submitted everyday objects and forms to a process of abstraction before bringing them back into focus in a new way.

“Bridget Riley has transformed our understanding of how we look and see. This exhibition invites us to engage with the very act of perception itself, revealing how her paintings make vision a dynamic, sensory experience.” —Clarrie Wallis, director of Turner Contemporary

Wishing a very happy birthday to Bridget Riley, whose works are currently on view in the exhibition, Learning to See, at Turner Contemporary in Margate, England. Conceived in close collaboration with the artist, the exhibition surveys Riley’s enduring connection with the natural world and her career-long study of the sensory experience of sight, including preparatory works on paper that show how the practice of drawing has underpinned her work.
