Ad Reinhardt Retrospective at artpress
A retrospective of Ad Reinhardt (1913–1967) brings together ninety-five works in a chronological progression, deliberately slowed by a numerical expansion: the selection of paintings widens as the œuvre, aiming to extract itself from time, asserts itself. The painter stubbornly pursued the fullest realization of controlled gesture, all-over space, vertical-horizontal arrangement, and muted color contrasts.
