Frieze Masters: American Abstract Artists
Founded in New York City in 1936, the American Abstract Artist group was a predecessor to Abstract Expressionism and contributed to the development and acceptance of abstract art in the United States. This presentation includes geometric, biomorphic and gestural abstraction by a wide range of founding members including Josef Albers, Ilya Bolotowsky, Carl Holty, Balcomb Greene, Gertrude Greene and George McNeil among others. The exhibition also features later members including Irene Rice Pereira and Ad Reinhardt; in a compelling intergenerational exhibition that demonstrates the dynamic and enduring force of early abstraction in America.
