Hauser & Wirth Chelsea presents Onnasch Collection with Abstract Expressionism to Pop Art highlights

At Hauser & Wirth's Chelsea venue, an exhibition showcasing pieces from the Onnasch collection is currently on display, curated by Paul Schimmel, the former chief curator of LA MoCA and now a partner at the gallery on the West Coast. This exhibition highlights artwork from Abstract Expressionism to Pop Art, particularly emphasizing the transitional phase between these movements. Notable works include Barnett Newman’s 'Uriel' from 1955, as well as significant contributions from Clyfford Still, Franz Kline, and Kenneth Noland. The collection also features artists such as Claes Oldenburg, Jim Dine, Edward Kienholz, Robert Rauschenberg, and Larry Rivers, whose 'The Journey' (1956?) is particularly mentioned. Reinhard Onnasch, who was the first post-war German dealer to establish a presence in New York in 1973, curated this personal collection, which includes Gerhard Richter's American debut. The exhibition runs until April 12 at 511 West 18th Street, New York.
