Still in use today and originally designed many years ago - and particularly with signage in mind (a full color version still greets visitors). Original ink brush drawings created and then incorporated into its design. Glad for its longevity and as a memorable marker for those that drive or walk by the stream and the venue - on Tannery Brook Road in Woodstock, NY. • see more - susannaronner.com #logodesign #timelessdesign #woodstockny #graphicdesigner #designerandartist #woodstockinn #beautifyonestown

Thank you to all that came out to celebrate the one year anniversary of Kingston Social and the debut of the current ‘à la maison’ collection at Pinkwater Gallery. It was great to see artist friends and friends of artists and the arts. Always great connecting and a wonderful crowd. If you didn’t make it, be sure to stop in for real Italian cappuccino and desserts, a fantastic array of curated mercantile, and of course, the art on its walls by a wonderful group of artists. • ‘Over Under’ series | Mixed Media | 28x22 Rives BFK paper with 20x16 plate impression of monotype, with acrylic gouache painted over. • #worksonpaper # #contemporaryart #paintingonpaper #colorabstraction #abstractart  #artonpaper #geometricart #geometricabstraction #livewithart #susannaronner #artistdesigner #womanartist #colorshapecomposition #painting #improvisational #pinkwatergallery #kingstonsocial #uptownkingstonny @pinkwatergallery @kingstonsocialny

Repost from @richardhuntsculptor • Richard Hunt’s 1979 sculpture, Roman Hybrid, blends classical and modern elements to honor Olympic athlete Jesse Owens. The title references the ancient Greek and Roman roots of the Olympics, showcasing Hunt’s mix of figurative and abstract forms. The wing-like structures rise from a raised foot, symbolizing victory and momentum. Similar to Mercury, whose winged sandals allowed him to go swiftly between worlds, Hunt sees him as a metaphor for Owens’s incredible achievements. The sharp angles of the sculpture also reflect Owens’s historic performance at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, where he won four gold medals in defiance of the Nazi regime’s racism—an achievement that stood unmatched for nearly fifty years. Crafted in welded bronze, Roman Hybrid balances forward motion with upward lift, representing both Owens’s athletic power and historical impact. Hunt’s depiction of speed parallels the work of Italian Futurist Umberto Boccioni, known for capturing modern dynamism in art. Boccioni’s Unique Forms of Continuity in Space (1913) is part of the Museum of Modern Art’s collection in New York, where Hunt made history in 1971 as the first African American sculptor to hold a solo exhibit. ‘Richard Hunt: Metamorphosis – A Retrospective’ at White Cube Bermondsey (25 April – 29 June 2025) The exhibition is the first European retrospective of work by Chicago sculptor Richard Hunt (1935–2023), one of the foremost American sculptors of the 20th and 21st centuries.

It was a framing weekend…A new grouping from the ‘Mezzo’ series selected by interior designer Michael Van Nort for MVN Design, heading there this week, and this work is among them. Michael will be creating a grid wall of 9 Mezzo’s. And while each work stands strong on it’s own as a single piece, grouping a few or more creates it’s own dialogue in a space. Wrapped up and ready to deliver but had it on my own wall for a bit - to absorb and study. I see the work in a whole other way once it has its ‘breathing’ room created by the beautiful mat with frame. It’s sitting beside a little Pauline Decarmo from her ‘Chair’ series that I picked up from an exhibit be both were in. • ‘Mezzo #27’ • Mixed Media with painted paper, indirect mark making • 10x10.5 on Arches 300# paper • framed size 17x17.25 • MVN Design, 48 Main Street, Kingston, NY - and across from the Old Dutch Church - open Thurs-Sat 12-5pm (and some Sundays). 917.355.5031 for inquiries. • #mixedmedia #collage #worksonpaper#paintedpaper#hudsonvalleyny #contemporaryart #colorabstraction #abstractart  #artonpaper #geometricart #geometricabstraction #livewithart #susannaronner #artistdesigner #womanartist #colorshapecomposition #contemporarycollage #kingstonny #uptownkingstonny #stockadedistrictny @paulinedecarmo_painter

Repost from @calderfoundation • This sculpture relies on chance—not only of movement but also of sound and the lack thereof. Composed of repurposed pieces of pipe and a wooden sphere, the mobile itself is too big to fit inside the base hoop. When set in motion, the elements collide and create startling tonalities, evoking a sense of anticipation in the viewer. • (Image: Untitled, c. 1934; Untitled, 1938. © 2017 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society [ARS], New York) #calder #alexandercalder #calderfoundation #calderhypermobility #whitneymuseum #noisemobile #alexanderscrower

Best wishes for a great Inaugural Opening today of the Loewen Gallery in Williamston, MI - a gallery dedicated exclusively to the fine art of the Quilt and the very first of its kind. The inaugural exhibit ‘Garden Series’ features the quilt work of its founder, Pamela Loewen. The catalogue, which I was happy to design will begin a collectible series for each upcoming exhibit, already planned for. I appreciate Pamela’s dedication and vision, in a many year process renovating a building in her small town, led by architect (and artist) Paul Rosenblatt (Springboard Design), along with supportive guidance of former Carnegie Mellon curator and Dutch artist (and writer) Petra Fallaux (also with Springboard Design). What ties them all together is artist/quilter Nancy Crow, a beloved giant in abstract quilts and fiber art, and founder of Nancy Crow Timber Frame Barn - a venue for artist retreats - who planted the seed within Pamela for creating this gallery. And the circle of relationships continue as they all have taken workshops together at the Barn with Woodstock’s own, artist (and once quilter) and educator, David Hornung - whom I have also studied with (and design catalogues for), and has been pivotal in my painted paper mixed media artwork. Intertwining circles in creativity. • See more catalogues and work for the arts and artists at susannaronner.com • #pamelaloewen #artofthequilt #abstractquilts #galleryopening #williamstonmi #nancycrow #paulrosenblatt #petrafallaux #davidhornung @loewenstudioandgallery

Lots of excitement building for the inaugural exhibit this Saturday 4/26 of @68princegallery in midtown Kingston, NY - and visit the new site - 68princestgallery.com - for a link to the New York Times article about Francine Tint, which also mentions the Kingston exhibit along with a quote by the gallery’s curator, Alan Goolman. The gallery looks stunning with the creative energy and the longtime sweat, vision and hard work of artist co-founders Paula and David Kucera, making this space come to life, and with Alan’s great curatorial eye, and the art that is filling it. Happy to play a role as designer of the website and more. • from the NYT: ‘In February, Upsilon’s London outpost held a show of Tint’s work; a forthcoming short film about her, “Panoramic View,” by the filmmaker Pola Rapaport, will be released later this spring. Then there is her show at 68 Prince Street, a new gallery in Kingston, N.Y., from April 26 to June 26. “I was looking for an artist that really was going to make a statement for our inaugural show,” said the gallery’s curator, Alan Goolman. Tint came to mind. “This woman is having her time right this very minute.” • @davidkucerastudio @whitebarnfarm @alangoolman #68princestgallery #68princestreetgallery #hudsonvalleyny #kingstonny #contemporaryart #galleryopening #midtownartsdistrict #davidkucera #paulakucera #alangoolman #francinetint

Repost from @calderfoundation • The exhibition Calder. Sculpting Time at MASI Lugano (@masilugano) presents a rare opportunity to see eight of Calder’s Constellations on view together. The artist developed this new form of sculpture in the early 1940s in response to the scarcity of sheet metal during World War II. “As sculptural assemblages of carved elements, Calder’s Constellations imply a return to the craft of his forebears,” writes Alexander S. C. Rower. “Yet as open, reduced-mass abstractions, they are a clear departure from the conventions of solid sculptural form ... These majestic sculptures reconcile tradition and innovation in a decisive way.” The Constellations pictured here are a selection of those on view at MASI through 6 October.      Images: Constellation (1943), all wood, wire, and paint. © 2024 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York    #Calder #AlexanderCalder #CalderFoundation

Yay, new Signage for Woodstock School of Art is born! Almost a year in the making, but thanks to the input on the signage needs from the WSA signage committee, led by Claudia Waruch; the review and approval by the WSA Board of Directors; and Kurt Boyer of Boyer Signs on their quality manufacturing and Kurt’s expert technical ideas and guidance; and along with everyone’s dedication to the project; and with my design - happily just installed. A challenging road that curves, and moves fast from both directions, the goal always has been safety while creating clear, contemporary signage to mark entry into the school complex — and so from that perspective, drivers can see the Woodstock School of Art logo and name, and as they drive in, can absorb in a safe way, the rest of the information on the sign panels. And it will be lit when it’s dark, which will be excellent for evening classes through the seasons. With Spring, plantings will get added. And stay tuned, as when there is an Opening Exhibition, a red sign panel — ‘Exhibition Today’ — will be hung (below ‘Visitors Welcome’) — so come partake in the festivities and see some exceptional art. WSA is open for visitors Monday — Saturday, 9-3pm, both for a tour of the campus and to see the current exhibition. For more on their fantastic classes and workshops, go to woodstockschoolofart.org. • And for those that don’t know, the beautiful logo has been with the school for a very long time, but I refined it’s typography to have it be more contemporary, professional and consistent in it’s use, and since have been designing it’s very many printed pieces (course catalog, exhibition catalogues, stationery and more) along with various digital and social media needs - and it’s been my pleasure. • #signagedesign #communicationdesign #woodstockschoolofart #woodstockny #woodstocknewyork #artschool @_woodstockschoolofart

Repost from @richardhuntsculptor • ‘Richard Hunt: Early Masterworks’ is now open at White Cube New York. Construction D (1956) would constitute one of Hunt’s first human-scale sculptures, made from carved cottonwood combined with welded steel. He initiates his Construction [Letter] series in November 1955 and only 5 sculptures (N,D,A,S,O - in this order of creation) in this series were created in 1955 - 56.  Hunt’s early wood and metal pieces, both rare and unique, are the only large scale (floor standing works) where Hunt incorporated wood with his newly acquired welding techniques. Construction D was created during the time when Hunt was working out of his basement studio of ‘Hunt’s Barbershop’ in Englewood on the South Side of Chicago. Construction D won the Mr. and Mrs. Frank G. Logan Medal and Prize from the Art Institute show, 59th Annual Exhibition by Artists of Chicago and Vicinity. The New York gallerist Charles Alan would see the work, Construction D, and sign Hunt with the promise of a future solo exhibition at the Alan Gallery on Madison avenue in 1958. In 1971, Richard Hunt achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first African American sculptor to have a landmark retrospective at MoMA, New York with a presentation of works from 1955–71. This show at White Cube New York mirrors that time span, including the restaging of several works that were presented in his MoMA retrospective.

Repost from @calderfoundation • The exhibition Calder. Sculpting Time at MASI Lugano (@masilugano) presents a rare opportunity to see eight of Calder’s Constellations on view together. The artist developed this new form of sculpture in the early 1940s in response to the scarcity of sheet metal during World War II. “As sculptural assemblages of carved elements, Calder’s Constellations imply a return to the craft of his forebears,” writes Alexander S. C. Rower. “Yet as open, reduced-mass abstractions, they are a clear departure from the conventions of solid sculptural form ... These majestic sculptures reconcile tradition and innovation in a decisive way.” The Constellations pictured here are a selection of those on view at MASI through 6 October.      Images: Wall Constellation with Row of Objects (1943), all wood, wire, and paint. © 2024 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York    #Calder #AlexanderCalder #CalderFoundation

Repost from @davidsmithestate • Thinking today about this fantastic pairing at Atlanta’s @highmuseumofart of Adolph Gottlieb’s “Duet” (1962) and David Smith’s “O Drawing (First State)” (1954-55), on view in the Stent Family Wing. The two artists were close friends and neighbors for several years in Brooklyn Heights. As seen above, the circle was an important form for both Smith and Gottlieb, with inexhaustible layers of metaphysical, historical, and organic meaning. • #davidsmith #adolphgottlieb #highmuseumofart #artistfriends

A beautiful body of work documented in this 2024 catalogue I designed for the prolific artist, Mary Frank - still vibrant, creating, dedicated to her art, and in her 90s (though you’d never know it).

Eduardo Chillida, Sin título,1987 “I’m one of those people who believe—and this is very important to me — that humans are from a particular place. The ideal is really that we’re from one place, that we have roots in one place, but that our arms extend outward to the world: that the ideas of all cultures matter to us. All places are perfectly suitable to those suited to them. Me, here, in my Basque country, I feel at home, like a tree planted firmly in its terrain, tied to its territory but with its branches open to the world.”  Eduardo Chillida eduardochillida.com • #eduadochillida #basque #spanishbasqueartist

Yay, a new logo is born!! - for the amazing Martina Enschede, Dutch native, and her newly renamed practice as ‘Dutchess Pilates’. Martina is an exceptional, excellent and intuitive guide with Pilates and NKT (Neuro Kinetic Therapy) and the unique way she combines these modalities. I know of how incredible she is as I’ve been working with her since she first arrived in the Hudson Valley (about 20 years). So it’s my pure delight to have designed this for her (and a website will be on the way soon too), and to launch her new name and in a new location. • #pilates #hudsonvalleyny #nkt #logodesign #branding #makeitbeautiful #healingarts #graphicdesign #designerandartist @womeninbusiness #fitness #logodesigner #logotypedesign

Repost from @davidzwirner • Ruth Asawa: Retrospective, an in-depth look at Asawa’s groundbreaking practice, opens Saturday, April 5, at @SFMOMA. This major exhibition, the first posthumous traveling retrospective of the artist’s work, kicks off in @RuthAsawaOfficial’s longtime home: San Francisco. Learn more via the link in bio. Asawa’s signature looped-wire sculptures will share gallery space with lesser-known works that bring insight into the relentlessly experimental nature of her artistic vision. In addition to her own work, the exhibition will include a select number of works by peers and mentors with whom Asawa engaged in creative dialogue, including Josef Albers and Imogen Cunningham. —⁣⁣⁣⁣ Ruth Asawa making wire sculptures, November 1954.

‘In Quietude’ series #133 - 2020 - the silver lining of not having access to the printmaking studio during the pandemic, revitalized my relationship with mixed media collage, making one a day till I got to #200.

Truth! That is, if you are designer committed to creating beautiful work. Saul Bass, the great - in his own words. • What defines great design? In this video, we hear from the legendary Saul Bass in a 1986 interview with Archie Boston. Saul Bass was one of the most influential American graphic designers of the twentieth century. Renowned for his work in motion picture title sequences, corporate logos, and movie posters, he revolutionized title design in film. Over his four-decade career, he set new standards in graphic design and even won an Academy Award for his exceptional work. #saulbass #graphicdesignhistory #designtips

From 2021, and sold at Pinkwater Gallery. It was a sweet story [as retold by gallerist Anne Sanger] - as a couple came in and she expressed to her husband how much she liked this piece - and later, unbeknownst to her, he bought it for her as a gift. Designer in me also created a folding card with the art image on the front, plus envelope, that he gave her first, followed by the framed art. At its best, the art we create continues to spread happiness to others. That’s quite special. • • Monotype • 16x20 plate on Rives BFK printmaking paper • framed size 28x22 • created @_woodstockschoolofart printmaking studio • #monotype #printmaking #hudsonvalleyartist #contemporaryart #colorabstraction #abstractart #contemporaryprintmaking #abstractprintmaking #artonpaper #colorabstraction #geometricart #geometricabstraction #artforinteriors #susannaronner #livewithart #artbringsjoy #abstractmonotype @pinkwatergallery

Happy birthday Yayoi Kusama • Repost from @omer_tiroche_gallery • Happy birthday to 𝗬𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗶 𝗞𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗮, who was born today in 1929! Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese contemporary artist known for her diverse oeuvre spanning sculpture, installation, painting, and more. Rooted in conceptualism, her work integrates elements of feminism, surrealism, and minimalism, infused with personal narratives. Celebrated globally, she’s acclaimed as Japan’s foremost artist, influencing peers like Andy Warhol. Despite grappling with mental health challenges, Kusama’s prolific output, from the 1950s to the present, continues to captivate audiences worldwide, serving as a profound outlet for her struggles and a testament to the enduring power of art.

Repost from @susannaronner_art • Repost from @philophilia • How do you see Picasso? “It is these sculptures that would lead Kahnweiler [Picasso’s dealer] to write of ‘drawings in space.’ He would also describe them as a first step toward something that, until then, only architecture had achieved: the actual ‘creation of spaces.’” It’s interesting to consider that Picasso, working in the first few decades of the 20th century, may have prefigured a whole generation of American sculptors achieving prominence in the 50’s and 60’s, like David Smith and Richard Serra, who also approached “space” as a medium unto itself.
