Mary Heilmann's New Show at Sikkema Jenkins & Co
Mary Heilmann opens a new exhibition at Sikkema Jenkins & Co in New York. The show follows her 2023 retrospective at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. Heilmann's work is characterized by daring brushmarks and drips, blending beauty with spontaneity. The exhibition is part of a broader context where geometric forms in contemporary art signify freedom rather than strict adherence to non-objective thought, as seen in the "Geo/Metric" exhibition.
