Helen Marden debuts largest works at Gagosian New York
Gagosian presents 'Interlude of Joy', an exhibition of new paintings by Helen Marden, featuring her largest works to date, including first triptychs and watercolors. Marden uses acrylic, resin, and powdered pigment on canvas panels placed on the studio floor or ground, applying vivid hues in glossy pours and gestural strands. The New York show is titled after a poem by George Seferis, the Greek poet and 1963 Nobel laureate, whose verses convey nature's elation but end with lament.
