Ron Gorchov's 1970s Works Featured in Exhibition Highlighting Late Recognition

Ron Gorchov, a veteran master of abstraction, gained belated adulation through exhibitions and critical attention after a 2005 solo show in New York organized by Vito Schnabel, which focused on his output from the 1970s. That exhibition, his first in over a decade in the city, presented works like his trademark saddle/shield constructions, including Brother from 1972. David Cohen reviewed the 2005 pop-up for artcritical, describing one of Gorchov's stack paintings as combining elements of fairground, stage-set, Stonehenge, and theories about support, surface, illusion, and reality. The featured exhibition continues to spotlight Gorchov's 1970s production, reinforcing his significance in abstract art.
