Karl Benjamin and the Evolution of Abstraction, 1950-1980
Opening reception for the artist Saturday, September 24, 5-8 PM.
In the course of his lengthy career, Benjamin and his luminous, grid-based paintings have earned accolades from colleagues, collectors and curators alike. The artist ’s thirty-year trajectory, catalogued in this exhibition, could serve as a guide for the evolution of American abstract painting.
Louis Stern Fine Arts is pleased to present the exhibition as a participating gallery in the Getty initiative Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980. The exhibition will be accompanied by a full-color catalogue with text by Suzanne Muchnic.
