Julie Langsam's Solo Exhibition at Frederieke Taylor Gallery Explores Modernism's Legacy
Julie Langsam's solo exhibition at Frederieke Taylor gallery, located at 535 West 22nd Street between 10th and 11th avenues, opened last week with a reception on Thursday and remains on view until January 10. The artist examines modernism's perceived failure and investigates how painting can persist beyond that historical endpoint. Her works feature sublime, timeless backgrounds behind iconic modernist architectural structures, including le Corbusier's Ronchamp chapel, Saarinen's TWA Terminal, and Mendelsohn's Einstein Tower. Beneath these architectural depictions, Langsam incorporates long horizontal color grids inspired by Ad Reinhardt's paintings. This presentation was featured as an artcritical CAPSULE in December 2009.
