CURRENT AND UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS
 

WHAT WAS ONCE FAMILIAR—The Vision & Art Project’s Tenth Anniversary Benefit Exhibition
On view in the East and West Galleries
March 20 - April 26

Since 2013, the Vision and Art Project, an initiative of the American Macular Degeneration Foundation, has been actively supporting artists with macular degeneration and researching macular degeneration’s influence on art. Among others, such notable figures as Georgia O’Keeffe and Edgar Degas are known to have developed the disease and adapted their working methods in ways that allowed them to continue working in their studios. Regardless of how dramatic the effect, artists working with vision loss usually change their approach to artmaking. Often, an entirely new body of work emerges, one that can be hauntingly and thrillingly unlike anything they had created before. The exhibition will include work by Lennart Anderson, Serge Hollerbach, Robert Birmelin and Hedda Sterne, among other outstanding artists who experienced vision loss at some point in their careers and continued to create compelling works of art.

DTR Galleries present KOZO
On view April 5 - 26

Kozo’s journey began at the age of 17 when he first picked up a tattoo needle. Since then, he has honed his craft, turning his bedroom into an intimate creative space where he experimented with different styles and techniques. Now based in New York City, Kozo has revolutionized the tattoo artistry, attracting a global following that includes celebrities like Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, and Ruby Rose. Despite his meteoric rise to fame, Kozo remains grounded in the fundamentals of traditional artistry, infusing his minimalist designs with rich narratives that speak to the human experience. He is inspired by the work of Old Masters like Rembrandt and Van Gogh, as well as the avant-garde. Kozo continues to push the boundaries of his art, exploring themes like architecture, sculpture, and more.

Project Space
Ruth Marten - All About Eve, part I
April 1 - April 18

Since 2006, Ruth Marten has been using antique found prints as the starting point for her original painted additions and interventions. The source for this current series of gouache on photo gravure paintings is a 1923 portfolio of prints by a Polish photographer who called himself Laryew. Shot in Paris of young dancers from the Folies Bergére, they showed up on the table at a local Flea Market frequented by the artist. The works on view demonstrate Marten’s ongoing interest in the following phenomena: Cinema, World War I and its aftermath, modern art, and women liberating themselves from male expectations. Ruth Marten lives and works in New York City and has exhibited extensively in New York, London, San Francisco, and Cologne, where 50 of these new works are intended for an inclusive exhibit at van der Grinten Galerie in October.

Grand Gallery
DTR Modern Presents Thierry Guetta, famously known as Mr. Brainwash
May 1 - 24

Renowned for his cultural impact—Brainwash transcends conventional artistic boundaries to become a curator of chaos and a mastermind of the absurd. Hailing from France, Mr. Brainwash's journey, from a documentary filmmaker to celebrated artist, mirrors the enigmatic allure of his creations. Bursting onto the scene with his audacious debut exhibition, "Life is Beautiful," held in a vacant Hollywood studio, Guetta's art seamlessly blends pop culture, street art, and social commentary. This was even further elevated to cultured infamy and forever memorialized in the film “Exit Through The Gift Shop.”

East and West Galleries
The 2024 National Arts Club Exhibiting Artist Members Exhibition
May 2 - 29

The Annual Exhibiting Artist Members Exhibition returns in full force with a show of new works by the NAC’s most talented. In 1934, with the suspension of the Artist Life Member program, the Club was eager to expand its membership and began reaching out to a wider community of working artists. It was this wave of new members that created EAM and the Annual Exhibition as we know it today. Please join us to celebrate this great tradition and to support our Artist Members.
