Happy birthday, Robert Polidori! 🎂🎊

On view through June 2023 is the widely acclaimed photographer’s solo exhibition, Present/Past: The Robert Polidori Photographic Archive, at the Briscoe Center for American History. The exhibition maps Polidori’s career as one of the world’s most acclaimed architectural photographers of human habitats and environments. In addition to photographs, the exhibit includes materials from the full breadth of his archive. From initial Polaroids and annotated images to proofs and final prints, Present/Past reveals the layers of the photographer’s process contained in the archive as a whole.

In 2020, Robert Polidori was a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship for photography. In 1998 he won the World Press Award, and he has twice won the Alfred Eisenstaedt Award for Magazine Photography (1999 and 2000). Polidori was a staff photographer for The New Yorker from 1998 – 2006. He has published over 15 photo books with Steidl, most recently Hotel Petra (2016) and 60 Feet Road (2016). These follow the three-volume compilation of his pictures of Versailles, Parcours Muséologique Revisité (2009). The artist’s major solo exhibitions include a mid-career retrospective at the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, Fotografias at the Instituto Moreira Salles, and After the Flood at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2006. His work is held in numerous collections, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris.

Diana Al-Hadid’s new public installation, The Time Telling, 2023, is a monumental mosaic recently unveiled in Penn Station. The work was commissioned by the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) Arts & Design initiative as part of the new ADA-accessible street-level entrance to the 1, 2, and 3 subways on 33rd Street and Seventh Avenue, and was inspired by Alfred Eisenstadt’s iconic photograph of the famed clock that hung at the entrance of the original Pennsylvania Station.

Al-Hadid, whose work weaves together enigmatic narratives that draw inspiration from both ancient and modern civilizations, is also included in our current group exhibition, Shades of Daphne, located just a few blocks south-west of Penn Station at 509 West 27th Street.

Alma Allen Nunca Solo opens Thursday, February 9 at Museo Anahuacalli in Mexico City.

The exhibition, curated by Karla Niño de Rivera, engages both Diego Rivera’s museum grounds and interiors. With a distinct visual language orchestrating immediate mark-making and meticulous carving and casting, Allen’s works are inseparable from a sense of movement and the moment of their approbation, emitting a mysterious and ineffable life-force. Throughout the exhibition, the works stand in conversation with the building’s pyramid-like architectural structure, its collection of pre-Columbian art objects, and the area’s volcanic landscape and quality of light.

"I am never free of the past. I have made it crystal clear that I believe the past is a part of the present which becomes part of the future." —Lee Krasner

Next Tuesday, Lee Krasner: A Through Line opens at the Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum in Long Beach, California. The exhibition provides a context to explore important abstract paintings and collages from the 1940s to the early 1960s. A Through Line specifically highlights breakthrough moments in her career made possible through her practice of revisiting ideas over time. The artist leveraged exemplary marks, spatial strategies, and recurring themes in her pursuit of illusionistic gestural abstraction.

Krasner’s tireless and fierce self-examination compelled the artist to push the boundaries of abstraction, generating a reputation as one of the most philosophical and unwavering pioneers of the Abstract Expressionist movement in America. Krasner’s collage paintings represent some of the artist’s most conceptual and emotionally charged works. Included in A Through Line is the collage painting pictured here, Stretched Yellow (1955) which was shown in Krasner’s exhibition at the Stable Gallery of that year; in the 2019 traveling retrospective, In Living Colour; and, most recently, in Kasmin’s 2021 exhibition Lee Krasner: Collage Painting 1938–1981.

Kasmin is pleased to announce that Matvey Levenstein has been named a recipient of the 2022 Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Biennial Grant. Unrestricted grants have been awarded to 20 artists working in painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video, craft, and new media. The grants give artists the opportunity to produce new work and push the boundaries of their creativity. A full-color catalogue documenting the work of grant recipients will be published this spring. Congratulations to all those chosen for this year’s grant cycle! *party emoji*

Matvey Levenstein’s delicate and exquisitely rendered paintings explore themes of history and representation. His paintings and works on paper are filtered through the most traditional painterly genres—the landscape, the still life, and the portrait—and are imbued with a distinctly literary sensitivity; they are quiet meditations on the relevance of Romanticism in the 21st Century.

Levenstein was born in Moscow, U.S.S.R. and lives and works in New York City. He received his M.F.A. at Yale School of Art, New Haven, CT, after attaining a B.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, and the Moscow Architectural Institute, Moscow, U.S.S.R. He has been the recipient of a number of awards including the Rome Prize, American Academy in Rome, Rome; the Penny McCall Foundation Award, New York; the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation Studio Grant; the Katherine J. Horwitch Grant, Jewish Foundation; and the Anna Louise Raymond Traveling Fellowship, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago.

Ali Banisadr’s new painting Weighing of the Heart (2023) is on view now in the exhibition Shades of Daphne at 509 West 27th Street.

In the work, Banisadr renders chimeric figures with energetic brushstrokes, exemplifying the artist’s mesmeric push-pull between abstraction and figuration. Balancing carnivalesque energy with a calming sense of distance, the subjects of his paintings come in and out of focus, resisting total comprehension. On this tension in Banisadr's work, Artforum critic Cathryn Drake has written, "Mimicking the murky mechanics by which memories become blurred, buried, or distorted in the depths of the unconscious to emerge transfigured, these paintings offer singular visions of collective calamity."

Robert Motherwell, one of the great painters of Abstract Expressionism, was born in 1915. The artist is renowned for his work in painting, print and collage that combined a new visual language of gestural abstraction with the dialectical nature of the human psyche. Throughout his oeuvre, Motherwell’s work is defined by pervading dialogues between European modernist traditions and a distinctive and fresh American approach to art making; pure abstraction and figuration; as well as formal and emotional modus operandi.

Ongoing at is Drawing As Fast As The Mind Itself, curated by Edouard Kopp, the most comprehensive exhibition on Motherwell’s activity as a draftsman. Presenting more than 100 works spanning the artist’s career from the 1940s through the 1980s, the exhibition demonstrates the way in which Motherwell’s multifaceted practice was geared towards invention and variation. The exhibition opened concurrently with the publication of Robert Motherwell Drawings: A Catalogue Raisonne, authored by Katy Rogers.

Upcoming in 2023 🗓️ Robert Motherwell from the Collection: 1941–1990 at . Numbering fifty objects—paintings, collages, prints, and sketches—this body of work offers a special opportunity to examine and appreciate the creative range of this major modernist artist.
