Sanford Wurmfeld's Color Visions Exhibition at Hunter College Times Square Gallery

Sanford Wurmfeld's exhibition 'Color Visions 1966 – 2013' runs from February 15 to April 20, 2013 at Hunter College Times Square Gallery in New York City. The show features large-scale optical paintings with grid-based patterns that integrate primary and secondary hues, demonstrating his chromatic clarity. Wurmfeld, a geometric abstract painter, taught at Hunter College from 1967 to 2006, serving as art department chair from 1978. His work is informed by color theories from Leo Hurvich, Josef Albers, and Dorothea Jameson, leading to a sequential modulation of color that impacts visual perception. Notable pieces include 'II-15 (R-G/=V)' from 1992, an acrylic on canvas measuring 90 by 180 inches. The exhibition omits his full-scale circular dioramas, which have been shown elsewhere but not in New York. Robert C. Morgan authored the review, highlighting Wurmfeld's investigative approach and emotional charge in the paintings.
