Ellsworth’s black forms, across time and mediums. The artist would often turn to this palette when he wanted to investigate form and little else: “It is,” he said, “the complete absence of color and the totality of light.”  #EllsworthKelly

Repost from @calderfoundation • While Calder primarily used sheet metal in his sculpture, he experimented with many different materials including wood. “Eventually he worked in a multitude of wood varieties, both common and exotic, which he exploited for their various qualities: walnut, maple, oak, ash, rosewood, ebony, mahogany, purpleheart, lignum vitae, and others,” writes Alexander S. C. Rower. “As in the sculptures of Calder’s friend Brâncuşi, the texture of the chisel and the rasp remained part of the aesthetic. He would carve, smooth, and occasionally paint the individual wooden elements, then lay them out on a table and assemble them with vigor.”    Image: The Black Spoon (1945), wood, rod, wire, and paint. © 2025 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York    #Calder #AlexanderCalder #CalderFoundation

Tonight! Monday, June 2. Roscoe Mitchell will be celebrated with a ‘Lifetime of Achievement’ Award at the Vision Festival. @tanitabbal performs with Roscoe along with Dave Burrell and William Parker at 7pm and the music performances continue the rest of the night. At Roulette/Bklyn. I’ve had the great pleasure of being close up and personal via international tours and recordings, accompanying Tani along with the stellar musicians that are and have been part of Roscoe’s groups. Tani has been performing with Roscoe a very long time (since 1978) and is on 13+ of his recordings. So it will be very special to celebrate Roscoe tonight. I love the nexus of all the arts and being immersed in it all, and surrounded by the great folk that inhabit it with exceptional creativity. • #roscoemitchell #daveburrell #williamparker #tanitabbal #artsforart #visionfest2025 #roulette

Karen Karnes was one of my first, and beloved early mentors - exhibiting what it is to live an artists life, and just as importantly, to be a strong, creative woman, with an independent spirit. She was not only my teacher for the brief moment she taught at Hunter College, NYC, coinciding with my fairly brief time there (before my continuing on elsewhere as fine arts major, and later, majoring in graphic design) - but we bonded and remained friends and in touch for a good while. I cherish a small covered jar in her signature salt glaze that she gifted me. We fell out of touch as the years progressed but the strength of her strong spirit and grace, still resides within me. And I thank her for that gift of being. • “Karen Karnes (1925-2016)…one of the icons of contemporary ceramics. Born in Brooklyn, she came of age with the post-war generation of artists, the seminal growth that set the stage for art in the second half of the 20th century. Karnes was part of two legendary art communities that focused this energy: Black Mountain College in NC and the Gate Hill community in NY. Black Mountain, led by Josef Albers…included students such as John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Ruth Asawa and Robert Rauschenberg…Karnes then became part of Gate Hill, a cooperative community, for 25 years where she built her studio and kiln, deepened friendships with M.C. Richards, Mikhail Zakin, and met Ann Stannard, who became her lifetime companion…As Zakin said of her friend, “I have never known any artist who has lived her life and made her art with such integrity and with such clear unswerving sense of purpose.” And paraphrasing what Karnes once said to me: “I am like a whale underwater quietly pulsing along, doing what I do, no matter what obstacles appear in my path.” Lucy Lacoste • • Her work is in the Asheville Art Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Detroit Institute of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Arts and Design, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum. @lucylacostegallery | #karenkarnes #blackmountaincollege #gatehill #mentor

Congratulations again to @judykirpich and @schulz1376 on an outstanding body of work. I would have loved to see it in person but delighted in being absorbed in their art as I designed their catalogue. • Repost from @internationalquiltmuseum • Last chance! June 7 is the final exhibition day for “Studio Showcase: Judy Kirpich and Karen Schulz,” so view it while you can! “Studio Showcase” features new work by artists Judy Kirpich and Karen Schulz. The quilts initially appear radically different – consider the dark saturated color of Kirpich’s pieces composed of a unique fabric sourced in China in contrast to the colorful hand-dyed and painted layers of Schulz’s work. Both artists, however, create pieces that transform the flat dimension of their textile canvases into a space that invites the viewer to immerse themselves. • #abstractquilt #theartofquilting #designforartists #catalogdesign #cataloguedesign #judykirpich #karenschulz #internationalquiltmuseum #contemporaryquilts

My love of indigo deepened on a trip to Guinea, West Africa (1995) - when I went to study dance with Les Ballets Africains. But it was in the outdoor markets that I found the beautiful array of indigo cloth (some of which I brought back with me) - and it has become a beloved part of my visual library. Indigo continues to ‘call’ on me, in my printmaking and mixed media work. • #indigo #indigocloth #contemporaryart #colorabstraction #artoncloth #colorabstraction #oneofakind #livewithart #artthatinspires

It’s interesting to reflect on previous monotype work to see the elements that still captivate my curiosity even as I move into my current passion in mixed media.

Repost from @calderfoundation • In 1931, Calder began to incorporate movement into his abstract objects. In a letter to his parents in that July, Calder writes: “I have been making a few new abstractions which have certain movements combined with their other features. I think there is something in it that may be good.” The standing mobile seen here, which is in the collection of the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (@macba_barcelona), is one of the artist’s earliest kinetic sculptures.    Image: Untitled (1931), wire, rod, wood, and paint. © 2025 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York    #Calder #AlexanderCalder #calderfoundationny

Popped into the Open Studio of my Pinkwater Gallery pal, gallerist and artist - @annesanger_abstract - to see all the good things she’s been up to! And left with this little delectable piece of hers.

One of the very few large pieces I still have - from many, many, moons ago (as in, college…) - amazed the newsprint has held up. I like to post this from time to time as though my love is with abstraction, I appreciated the foundational rigor of training one’s eye and hand and the beauty of life drawing. • #lifedrawing #linework #handeyeseeing #lineexpression #sketching

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.

Delighted to learn that this work, currently in an exhibit @_woodstockschoolofart ‘Showcase III’ will head to a new ‘home’ after the exhibit is over and I hope it brings much joy. Created in @davidhornungart color workshop - working with a complementary pair of two hues - creating tones via our painted paper, with a broad range of value and saturation. • #scienceofcolor #colortheory #albers #colorworkshop #colorexpansion #nuanceofcolor #paintedpaper #mixedmedia

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
