“Now, with a radical client like Miss Barnsdall, a site like Olive Hill, a climate like California, an architect head on for freedom, something had to happen… So this Romanza of California came out on Olive Hill.” —Frank Lloyd Wright: An Autobiography, 1943

Heiress Aline Barnsdall (1882-1946) created a revolutionary life: a feminist, traveler, single mother by design, supporter of experimental Chicago theatre, close friend of Emma Goldman, early patron of The Hollywood Bowl, and champion of revolutionary causes. Barnsdsall commissioned an equally iconic home from Frank Lloyd Wright, intended to be the center of an Olive Hill arts complex. Barnsdall gifted Hollyhock House and Barnsdall Park to the City of Los Angeles in 1927, and it was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019.“Hollyhock House has inspired generations of artists, architects, and designers. It is a harbinger of California Modernism and designed by Wright in response to the region, capturing the drama of Hollywood and embracing building traditions of the American southwest.” —Hollyhock House Education Thank you to ArtTable Board Vice-President, Felice Axelrod!Admission:

Cheryl Numark’s career in art took hold during her tenure as owner and curator for Numark Gallery (1995 – 2007), the premier gallery in Washington DC for many years. During this period Numark represented and exhibited dozens of artists that would find great success, including Michal Rovner, Tony Feher, Peter Halley, Tara Donovan, Sharon Louden, Terri Friedman, Zwelethu Mthethwa, Dan Steinhilber and many others. Shortly after closing her gallery, Numark launched CNAA art advisory to work more closely with her clients to help them build meaningful collections. Throughout this time, Cheryl maintained close contact with many of the artists she had once exhibited, facilitating exciting commissions and acquisitions (most recently a painting by Sharon Louden at the National Gallery of Art, 2023) and hosting curated exhibitions on Artsy / within her home of work by artists Sharon Louden, Marylyn Dintenfass and Terri Friedman (forthcoming shows include Jorge Yazpik, October 2023 and Diana Cooper, Spring 2024). In addition to placing and exhibiting work at both fairs and her home, Cheryl has exhibited work by artists at Art Miami, 2022, and located public and private commissions for artists, for both residential and commercial uses.

Cheryl currently serves on the collector’s council at the Hirshhorn Museum and is a member of The Tower Project at the National Gallery of Art. For over a decade Numark was on the Board of Directors for Cultural DC, supporting its mission to ‘Make Space for Art’ in the DC area.

Curator-Led Tour of Marie Laurencin with Cindy Kang
2024-01-11 15:30 - 17:30 (America/New_York) | Barnes Foundation, 2025 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19130, United States
Join ArtTable Members for an intimate look at the fall exhibition Marie Laurencin: Sapphic Paris, the first major US exhibition dedicated to French artist Marie Laurencin (1883-1956) in over 30 years. Laurencin’s highly original painting style defied categorization, as she moved seamlessly between the male-dominated avant-garde, literary and artistic circles, and the realms of fashion, ballet, and decorative arts. The exhibition is co-curated by Simonetta Fraquelli and Cindy Kang. Presenting more than 50 works, from self-portraits to collaborative decorative projects; from early cubist paintings to her signature work—feminine and discreetly queer, this exhibition examines how Laurencin’s visualization of a “Sapphic modernity” subtly but radically challenges existing narrative of modern European art.

Join ArtTable for an intimiate look at the first survey exhibition in the United States of Marta Minujín, a defining force of Latin American art whose trajectory intersected with the major artistic developments of the postwar period while reflecting a singular spirit and vision infused by her sharp intellect, irreverent humor, and performative presence. Hosted by The Jewish Museum, this tour will be led by Associate Curator, Rebecca Shaykin.

This extensive exhibition includes nearly 100 works organized to reflect Minujín’s bold experimentation over six decades.

Peter Freeman Gallery

Peter Freeman, Inc., founded in 1990, represents leading international artists and the estates of several generations, spanning the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, and specializes in important historical works with particular emphasis on early Pop, Minimal, and Conceptual Art.

The gallery presents at least five exhibitions each year of work we believe is especially relevant to the art of our time. Solo exhibitions highlight the rich way in which artists respond to the materials, forces, and questions of the day. Focused group exhibitions explore significant movements, themes, and ideas that continue to influence and define our culture. The historic works handled by the gallery over the past thirty years are broad-ranging and can often be defined by their rarity and significance.

In 2006, Peter Freeman partnered with Galerie Nelson to establish what would eventually become Peter Freeman, Inc., Paris in 2013. The gallery, both in New York and in Paris, has always presented historically significant works in conversation with newer work by living artists. For this reason, much of our business has been with museums.

Peter Freeman also publishes scholarly books, including a catalogue raisonné Robert Mangold: Early Works, with text by Robert Storr; the first US catalogue on the works of Charlotte Posenenske; several catalogues on Medardo Rosso; James Ensor: Paintings, with text by Xavier Tricot; the first monograph of Catherine Murphy, with text by John Yau and Svetlana Alpers; a facsimile edition of Mangelos’s Pythagoras with an essay by Branka Stipančić; and the artist book Tide, a collaboration with Silvia Bächli and the writer Jamaica Kincaid.

Glendale, CA | Curatorial Walkthrough of If Memory Serves: Photography, Recollections and Vision at the Brand Library & Art Center
2024-02-02 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | The Brand Library, 1601 W. Mountain, Glendale, California, United States
Join Dr. Rotem Rozental, Executive Director and Chief Curator of the Los Angeles Center of Photography, for a walkthrough of the exhibition If Memory Serves: Photography, Recollections and Vision. Our hard drives may fail. Our phones might break. We may forget an image that was once cemented in our minds. Our relationships with images and devices that hold our memories define how we understand our position in the world. If Memory Serves emerges from the moments those devices fail us, our recollections betray us and our pictures refuse to bring back the people they once captured. This exhibition emerges from the intersection of our haunting pasts, possible futures, and our connections to photographic images, technologies and the systems that ask to speak for our photographs.The exhibition begins with and honors Aline Smithson, a mentor, photographer and educator, whose work with artists is redefining photographic practice. If Memory Serves celebrates her immense contribution to photography and further comments upon the reach of her stewardship and pedagogy. The participating artists have all been studying with and from her. Seen together, their works offer profound insight into our co-existence with photography, suggesting meeting points between personal experiences and broader societal issues and conflicts – from privacy to grief, from representation to immigration.Artists: Aurora Wilder Collective (Jennifer Pritchard in collaboration with Patrick Corrigan and DALL-E), Elizabeth Bailey, Dena Elisabeth Eber, Sarah Hadley, Diane Hemingway, Rohina Hoffman, Susan Lapides, Annette LeMay Burke, Annie Omens, Lori Ordover, Safi Alia Shabaik, Aline Smithson, Rosalie Rosenthal

VIRTUAL | Intersectionality of Race and Gender in the Artistic Labor Market

Since the fall of 2022, ArtTable has conducted a survey to better understand compensation—and compensation inequity—in the arts, with a particular focus on gender and compensation. At this collaborative workshop, Dr. Gillian Gualtieri will present on the Intersectionality of Race and Gender in the Artistic Labor Market. Then, attendees will collaboratively respond to the presentation and begin to build solutions and suggestions that will be incorporated into our published findings and circulated among members. The solution is not individual, but, rather shared. In this second workshop of ArtTable’s Pay Equity Initiatives, we hope this program will be a collaborative effort in informing our continued research.Add your voice to this important conversation!

New York, NY | Gallery Talk with Nancy Koenigsberg
2024-02-15 17:00 - 18:30 (America/New_York) | Nancy Hoffman Gallery, 520 West 27 Street, New York, New York, 10001, United States
Installation view of Nancy Koenigsberg: Line and Shadow, Nancy Hoffman Gallery, 2024

Join ArtTable for an inspiring artist talk exploring Nancy Koenigsberg: Line and Shadow at Chelsea’s Nancy Hoffman Gallery, established in 1972 and currently supporting artists working on four continents.

Through the works on view in Line and Shadow, Koenigsberg will discuss the evolution of her practice. Her first exhibition with Nancy Hoffman Gallery, it includes approximately 25 works made between 1998 and 2023, and focuses on wire sculpture. Woven or knotted wire grids are shaped and layered; juxtapositions between shiny and dull, fragile and industrial-strength materials challenge and engage the viewer visually and conceptually. Koenigsberg says the grids featured in much of her work reflect the city streets she knows so well as a New Yorker, as well as the nuances and intricacies of the textile world she’s been immersed in for decades.

Koenigsberg co-founded the Textile Study Group of New York in 1977, inviting well-regarded artists from around the world to examine the historical and technical importance of textile practices, from the ancient to the most contemporary. Koenigsberg now serves as President Emerita of the Textile Study Group and in 2022 became a Fellow of the American Craft Council.

This talk is made possible with the generous support of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.

New York | After-Hours Gallery Tour of Lee Krasner Exhibition at Kasmin
2024-03-06 18:00 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | Kasmin Gallery, 509 W 27th St, Manhattan, New York, 10001, United States

Join ArtTable for an after-hours gallery tour of Lee Krasner: The Edge of Color. Geometric Abstractions, 1948–53 at Kasmin, in association with the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. Eric Gleason, Executive Director of Kasmin, will provide an introduction and answer questions about the works on view and their context with Krasner’s oeuvre. The conversation will be followed by refreshments generously provided by the Pollock Krasner Foundation.

Through the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Kasmin has represented Lee Krasner’s work since 2016. Lee Krasner: The Edge of Color. Geometric Abstractions, 1948–53 is Kasmin’s fourth solo presentation of her work. It is the first exhibition to focus on this under-examined period of the artist’s work, which laid the groundwork for several major series of paintings Krasner completed later in her career. Drawing on formative connections with peers in the American Abstract Artists group as well as Piet Mondrian, Krasner’s work in the late forties and early fifties attracted early critical praise. Constrasting rectilinear forms, painted in somber tones with varying thicknesses of brushwork, sometimes appear on repainted canvases. Highlights of this presentation of Krasner’s work include the only two extant paintings from her first solo exhibition, reunited for the first time; Number 3 (Untitled) (1951), on loan from the Museum of Modern Art, and Number 2 (1951), on view in New York for the first time in over 70 years.

Celebrate International Women’s Day with a very special curator-led tour of (Re)FOCUS: Then and Now at Moore College of Art & Design in downtown Philadelphia. With Judith K. Brodsky, Judith E. Stein, and Diane Burko, three of the original Focus team, we will explore this two-part installation.:

(Re)FOCUS: Then commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of Philadelphia Focuses on Women in the Visual Arts: FOCUS, a citywide festival highlighting women in the arts which took place across multiple Philadelphia venues in 1974. Curated by Brodsky and Burko, who brought the original FOCUS to life in 1974, (Re)FOCUS: Then reunites works by the 81 artists represented in the original exhibition, including Louise Bourgeois, Lee Krasner, Howardena Pindell, Faith Ringgold, Alma Thomas, and Moore College graduate Alice Neel.

(Re)FOCUS: Now—curated by Gabrielle Lavin Suzenski, Director of the Galleries at Moore; Denise M. Brown, Executive Director of the Leeway Foundation; and Isa Isioma Matisse of The Future is Us Collective—explores themes of social justice, gender identity, equity, and power present in the recent work of Philadelphia-based artists, several of whom are Moore graduates. Over fifteen multidisciplinary visual artists, educators, and performers are represented, including Wit López, Atisha Fordyce, and Moore faculty member Li Sumpter.

Learn more about the exhibition in recent coverage from WHYY News and The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Like the original FOCUS, (Re)FOCUS: Then and Now at Moore College of Art & Design is part of a citywide arts festival: Re(FOCUS) 2024, happening through May 31 at over 30 venues across the Philadelphia area. The Colored Girls Museum, the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art are just a few of the institutions hosting Re(FOCUS) 2024 exhibitions and events—we encourage ArtTable members to visit!

Los Angeles | Private Tour of The Getty Center with Ellen Greenberg

Vincent van Gogh, Irises, 1889; Oil on canvas; The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, 90.PA.20.

Demystify Art at The Getty Center

Enjoy walking through time from the Middle Ages to the early 20th century and “peek behind and beyond the canvas” as Ellen Greenberg, art historian, guides you through the spectacular collection at The Getty Center in Brentwood. You’ll see the highlights of the museum and be wowed and amazed with the stories she’ll tell you about how artists have impacted history and yet still relate to our current, everyday lives. Be titillated by Titian. Baffled by Bernini. Rembrandt revealed. Monet mastered. Van Gogh verified. These are among the groundbreaking artists that will be featured on the tour. In this 90-minute tour, find out why there are so many nudes in Renaissance Art— and so many dead bugs, wilted flowers and skulls in Dutch paintings! And why is the Virgin Mary always depicted wearing red and blue during the Renaissance and Baroque periods? What were the inspirations for Impressionism? You’ll never look at art the same way again!

Your guide will be Ellen Greenberg. Ellen’s interests and expertise have been inspired by interior design, fashion design and production and costume design in her early years to museum touring and unique travel journeys as owner of Quick Culture. Ellen has been an instructor at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising and has guest lectured at UCLA. She holds Docent Program certificates at both The Getty Center and LACMA—and is the author of Inside Chocolate, a pictorial art book published by Abrams Books (formerly Harry N. Abrams) New York. Notables Ellen has toured range from Merrick Garland, United States Attorney General, to Max Getty, J. Paul Getty’s great-grandson. Her studies continue at The Getty Research Institute.

This tour will depart from the Museum Atrium Entrance.

Please Note: The fee to park at The Getty Center is $25.

New York | Studio Visit with Heide Fasnacht

Join ArtTable for a Friday evening tour of Heide Fasnacht‘s Tribeca studio, hosted by the artist. Since starting her career in the late 1970s, Fasnacht has focused her output on a variety of media over the years, focusing on sculpture, photography-based work, and drawing as distinct fields of inquiry and as complementary modes of expressing common themes. Over the past six years, she has returned to her first medium of painting, incorporating photography and collage into mixed-media works that pay special attention to the relationship between the environment and the human body and psyche.

While Fasnacht’s work has long been compared to that of Vija Celmins, Gerhard Richter, and Sigmar Polke, it is distinguished by its translation of two-dimensional sources into sculpture and openness to abstraction in form as well as in meaning. Represented in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum, Detroit Institute of Arts, the High Museum of Art, MFA Boston, and many other institutions, Fasnacht’s next New York exhibition is Anywhere But Here, a four-person exhibition opening May 8 at Project: ARTspace.

This talk is made possible by the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, with special thanks to Kelly Cahn for coordinating.

Please note, the studio building does not have elevator access.

She currently hosts and produces FOR/FOUR, a weekly conversation series featuring Black women and non-binary persons in the arts. Niama recently co-founded The Blacksmiths, a coalition of culture workers forging support for Black liberation against racism in the academy and at presenting institutions. Through The Blacksmiths, Niama produces resources and events engaging communities, activists, and artists to close the gaps in opportunities for Black creators, curators, and administrators on the global stage.Reserve your ticket now for a sparkling Benefit evening at the Upper East Side’s Bohemian National Hall—a gathering of ArtTable’s vibrant community of professionals in recognition of Linda Goode Bryant and Niama Safia Sandy.

New York | Responsible Transacting in the Art Market with Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP
2024-04-30 08:30 - 10:30 (America/New_York) | Patterson Belknap, 1133 6th Avenue (24th Floor), New York, New York, 10036, United States
This was the first program in our three-part Art Law Series sponsored by Patterson Belknap. Join us in Miami Beach for the next installment in December 2024, followed by a Los Angeles event in early 2025!

The art market has undergone exponential growth across the last 10 years, both in terms of volume and value. The old ways of purchasing and selling art via handshakes are now becoming increasingly rare as a wave of new players enter the art market and the value of works skyrockets. Art transactions have consequently become more complex, introducing a range of legal risks and issues which require each party to become equipped with a more thoughtful and better-informed approach to a transaction.

This panel will provide an overview of the channels for purchasing art—at auction, from a gallery, or through a dealer or advisor—and how each comes with its own unique considerations and potential challenges. We will cover the basics of building relationships within the marketplace, understanding how transactions are structured, and issues that may arise on each side of the transaction. Our discussion will also include best practices for conducting due diligence not only for the works themselves but also on the parties engaged in the transaction. This panel will be geared towards private individual collectors, art dealers, and independent advisors in addition to arts professionals working in galleries and museums.

This event will begin with a networking reception including a light breakfast, with Kosher for Passover menu options. We will reserve time at the end for audience questions.

Panelists:

Anne-Laure Allehaut, Counsel, Patterson Belknap

Alana Ricca, Managing Director, Schoelkopf Gallery

Aubrey Catrone, Owner & Consultant, Proper Provenance, LLC

San Francisco | Curator-Led Tour of Zanele Muholi: Eye Me at SFMOMA

Meet ArtTable at SFMOMA for a curator-led tour of Zanele Muholi: Eye Me, the photographer’s acclaimed first major exhibition on the West Coast. On this hour-long tour, Sally Martin Katz, SFMOMA’s Curatorial Associate for Photography and a co-curator of Eye Me, will cover major works across more than two decades of Muholi’s career. Read more about this unmissable show in The San Francisco Chronicle’s Datebook and KQED.

About the exhibition: A self-described visual activist, Zanele Muholi (b. 1972, Umlazi, South Africa) uses the camera to explore issues of gender identity, representation, and race. Often photographing their own body or members of their LGBTQ+ community in South Africa, Muholi calls attention to the trauma and violence enacted on queer people while celebrating their beauty and resilience. Activism is central to Muholi’s artistic practice, from their early work contending with the dangers of being queer in South Africa to their more recent work embracing their own blackness and gender expression. This exhibition brings together photographs from 2002 to the present alongside the artist’s latest explorations in painting and sculpture. The first major exhibition of Muholi’s work on the West Coast, it provides the opportunity for Bay Area audiences to experience the full range of the artist’s expansive project. —SFMOMA.org

At this collaborative workshop, Dr. Gillian Gualtieri will present on parenting in the artistic labor market. Then, attendees will collaboratively respond to the presentation and begin to build solutions and suggestions that will be incorporated into our published findings and circulated among members. The solution is not individual, but, rather shared. In this third workshop of ArtTable’s Pay Equity Initiatives, we hope this program will be a collaborative effort in informing our continued research.Add your voice to this important conversation!

Washington, DC | Curator-Led Tour: Revolutions: Art from the Hirshhorn Collection, 1860-1960

Meet ArtTable in DC for a curator-led tour of Revolutions: Art from the Hirshhorn Collection, 1860-1960 with Dr. Marina Isgro, Associate Curator of Media and Performance Art at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution. In anticipation of the fiftieth anniversary of the Hirshhorn’s opening on October 4, 2024, Revolutions places the work of 19 contemporary artists in dialogue with that of 117 artists who worked between 1860 and 1960: the century that introduced Modernism and abstraction, and led up to the Hirshhorn’s establishment by Congress in 1966. An audio guide by Katy Hessel—part of her Museums Without Men series—accompanies the exhibition, highlighting the women represented in Revolutions, whose work completes and complicates art historical narratives they were frequently written out of. Revolutions‘ dialogue between living artists—including Torkwase Dyson, Loie Hollowell, and Catherine Opie—and their 19th- and 20th-century counterparts—such as Berenice Abbott, Mary Cassatt, and Alma Thomas—reveals the resonance and relevance of these earlier works in our contemporary culture.
