Ron Gorchov's 1970s Works Featured in West Village Exhibition Through December 16
You can now check out Ron Gorchov's abstract pieces from the 1970s at 360 West 11th Street in New York's West Village. This unique venue used to be a stable and still has its original slatted walls. This exhibition comes after Gorchov's first solo display in New York in over a decade, which was held in a vacant Soho showroom back in 2005, curated by Vito Schnabel. Both shows feature the same collection, emphasizing Gorchov's signature saddle-shaped artworks on constructed supports and his stack paintings. Artcritical's David Cohen previously described one of the stack pieces as a mix of "fairground, stage-set, Stonehenge," and various art theories. The exhibition is available to see until December 16.
