Spray: Jules Olitski in the 1960s at Currier Museum

The Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, New Hampshire, is showcasing 'Spray: Jules Olitski in the 1960s', an exhibition dedicated to the American artist's groundbreaking use of spray paint. Utilizing industrial spray guns on unprimed canvases, Olitski produced vibrant color fields devoid of any visible brushwork. The exhibition includes 10 significant paintings, a rare aluminum sculpture, various works on paper, and archival documents. A highlight of the show is 'Shoot (1965)', which the museum acquired in 1977. Curator Bruce McColl, in collaboration with art historian Alex Grimley, organized the exhibition, drawing from the Jules Olitski Art Foundation. The aluminum sculpture's sprayed geometric designs change based on the viewer's angle. This exhibition is open from March 5 to August 9, 2026.
