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.

2024 Annual Benefit & Award Ceremony – New York

April 16 | 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm

People of all gender identities are allies in supporting women and nonbinary professionals’ leadership in the arts, and everyone is welcome to attend our Benefit events.

ArtTable invites you to celebrate our New York Benefit celebrating 2024 Distinguished Service to the Visual Arts honoree Linda Goode Bryant and New Leadership Award honoree Niama Safia Sandy.

Distinguished social activist, gallerist, and filmmaker Linda Goode Bryant is renowned for her groundbreaking initiative, Just Above Midtown (JAM), established in 1972. Through JAM, Bryant pioneered a commercial gallery showcasing Black artists and artists of color, emphasizing artistic freedom. JAM was celebrated in the Museum of Modern Art’s 2022 retrospective Just Above Midtown: Changing Spaces, which united works made throughout JAM’s fourteen-year tenure with a series of special performances, installations, and activations across New York City.

Niama Safia Sandy‘s work as a cultural anthropologist, curator, producer, multidisciplinary artist, and educator delves into the human story, often centering on stories of the Global Black diaspora. 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.

Artist-Led Tour of Elizabeth Turk’s “Written in Stone” at Hirschl & Adler

October 24, 2023 | 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm

As our culture shifts, artists are the witnesses, reflecting back to us how our world is changing; memorializing the endangered, and mourning the lost. Artist Elizabeth Turk speaks through one of our most permanent media, marble, to immerse us in a conversation about the fragility of handwritten language. Turk herself will guide the ArtTable group on a tour of Written in Stone, with Hirschl & Adler Managing Director, Elizabeth Feld.

Elegant and understated, the beauty of calligraphic scripts has resonated across cultures and time. Elizabeth Turk: Written in Stone, a group of twenty-three hand-carved marble sculptures made over the past decade, marks the change caused by technological communication – the ubiquitous keyboard and AI – and seeks to question the transformation of everyday handwriting. What happens when the curved lines of a scripted passage no longer hold meaning, or even exist? Or when the generations of tomorrow merely glance at a handwritten letter, fail to understand it, cannot decipher it, and simply move on, losing the nuances to history? Through this new body of work, Elizabeth Turk conveys this fundamental shift with unmatched grace and technical dexterity. There is an obvious paradox in a memorial of something as ephemeral and humancentric as script created with a solid, seemingly permanent rock gilded with a mineral, gold leaf. Long after the changes of this moment take place, these sculptures will remind us of the strength, endurance, and lasting importance of what we have left behind.

Admission:

ArtTable Members – $15
Member Guests – $25
Public – $30

This program is supported in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

Artist Talks are presented with support from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.

About the Artist

Born in Pasadena and raised in Orange County, Elizabeth Turk earned her M.F.A. at the Rinehart School of Sculpture, Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. A recipient of awards including a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship (2010), a Barnett and Annalee Newman Foundation Fellowship (2010), and a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (2011), Turk is internationally recognized for transforming her signature medium of marble into strikingly intricate objects that defy convention and challenge our preconceptions of what marble can do. Through the use of electric grinders, dental tools, and files, Turk pushes her medium to its limit, creating in each sculpture a provocative tension between the intrinsic strength of the stone and its inherent fragility, while speaking to larger conceptual and spiritual concerns of time, matter, and space.

During the twenty-two years that Turk has been represented by Hirschl & Adler Modern, the gallery has mounted five solo exhibitions of her work, each accompanied by publications; as well as a solo Art Kabinett at Art Basel Miami Beach (2012), a solo presentation at Masterpiece London (2014), and a solo presentation at the ADAA Art Show in 2017.

Turk’s work resides in numerous prestigious private and public collections, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA; the Jewish Museum, New York, NY; American University, Washington, D.C. (formerly, the Corcoran Gallery of Art) and the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C.; the Weatherspoon Gallery, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, NC; The Mint Museum, Charlotte, NC; the Catalina Museum for Art & History, CA; and the Dixon Gallery & Gardens, Memphis, TN. Institutional monographic exhibitions include Tipping Point: Echoes of Extinction, Woodson Art Museum, Wausau, WI (2022); Double Take, with Mel Chin, Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park (2022), Elizabeth Turk: Heaven, Earth, Home, Brattleboro Museum and Art Center, VT (2018-19); Elizabeth Turk: Sentient Forms, Laguna Art Museum, CA (2015); Elizabeth Turk: Wings, The Dayton Art Institute, OH (2013); and Elizabeth Turk, The Collars: Tracings of Thought, Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte, NC (2004).

Turk lives and works in Santa Ana, CA, and New York, NY, and is the cofounder of ET Projects, a Foundation that infuses civic spaces with interdisciplinary communal art.

Elizabeth Feld is the Managing Director and Director, Furniture & Decorative Arts at Hirshl & Adler. She curated the gallery’s 50-anniversary exhibition, Of the Newest Fashion: Masterpieces of American Neo-Classical Decorative Arts (2001–02). In 2006, she co- curated Elizabeth Turk: The Collars and In Pointed Style: The Gothic Revival in America, 1800–1860, both accompanied by extensive catalogues; and in 2007, For Work & For Play: A Selection of American Neo-Classical Furniture. More recent exhibitions include: Elizabeth Turk: Recent Sculpture (2008); The World of Duncan Phyfe: The Arts of New York, 1800–1847 (2012), a celebration of the gallery’s 60th anniversary; Elizabeth Turk Cages (2012); Alexander Creswell: Fire & Light (2012); Very Rich & Handsome: American Neo-Classical Decorative Arts (2014–15); Elizabeth Turk: Tensions (2016); Augmenting the Canon: Recent Acquisitions of American Neo-Classical Decorative Arts (2018); and Elizabeth Turk: Tipping Point: Echoes of Extinction (2019).

Elizabeth is a regular lecturer on American Decorative Arts and the antiques and art market. Elizabeth offers advisory services for clients in a range of specialties both within and beyond the gallery’s area of expertise. Elizabeth served as the Chairman of the Winter Antiques Show Dealers’ Committee for six years. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from The University of Pennsylvania and has a Master’s Degree in Fine and Decorative Arts from Sotheby’s Institute.

Rosa Lowinger is a Cuban-born, Miami-raised art conservator specializing in sculpture and architecture. She is the founder and co-chief conservator of RLA Conservation of Art + Architecture, a firm with offices in Miami and L.A. A graduate of NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts Conservation Program, and a Fellow of American Institute for Conservation and the Association for Preservation Technology, Rosa was the 2008-09 Rome Prize Fellow in Conservation at the American Academy in Rome, where she researched the history of vandalism and iconoclasm.

Thank you to Miami Design District and DISTRICT READS!

“An insightful tale that reveals a kaleidoscope of worlds that Lowinger navigates to chart a life in colors and materials, joys and calamities, rendering lives that were forced into exile many times but always eager to build a sense of home and purpose. A moving account filled with the eccentricities of life, family, and the love of something (and its preservation) that is sometimes beyond words.”— Hrag Vartanian, Co-founder & Editor-in-chief: Hyperallergic
