Ron Davis

Works from 1965 – 2008

 
March 29 - April 26, 2008

Opening Reception March 29, 2008

6:00 - 8:00 pm  

 
Ronald Davis’ third one-person show at New Gallery / Thom Andriola, “Works from 1965 – 2008” is a selection of works encompassing four decades of this American modern master’s illustrious career.
 
There are only a handful of artists who can claim that a work of theirs was visible through the front doors of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. 
Ronald Davis’ seminal Dodecagon “Ring” is a piece that has greeted visitors to the MOMA for the past year, a work originally exhibited at Leo Castelli Gallery in 1968 and purchased
by the museum at that time.
 
The show at New Gallery will feature three resin paintings from the same period as the MOMA work, as well as three related multiples produced by Gemini in 1971.  There will be a shaped canvas from his first one-person show in 1965, along with his most current 2008 pixel dust paintings on aluminum.

Ron Davis is one of America’s true visionary artists, an icon of the 60’s and 70’s minimal and color field movements. Ron continues to be a provocative and innovative artist, creating works that are always thought provoking and beautiful to behold.  His work is currently featured in exhibition “Color as Field” American Painting 1950 – 1975” at The Smithsonian Museum of American Art in Washington, DC, and in “So Cal: Southern California Art of the 60’s and 70’s” at the Los Angeles County Museum.
