Press Release

James Cohan is pleased to present Painting in the Dark, a group exhibition on view at 52 Walker Street from June 23 to August 5. The gallery will host an opening reception celebrating its summer exhibitions at 48 and 52 Walker on Thursday, June 23 from 6-9 PM.

 

Curated by Glenn Adamson and Kathy Butterly, Painting in the Dark brings together seven artists, spanning more than a century, who exemplify a painterly approach to the ceramic medium. Participating artists include Hugh Robertson (1845-1908), Rudolf Staffel (1911-2002), Toshiko Takaezu (1922-2011), Rose Cabat (1914-2015), Tony Marsh (b. 1954), Marit Tingleff (b. 1954), and Kathy Butterly (b. 1963). Adamson has written a critical essay to accompany the exhibition.
