Exhibitions - 2008 - Dialogues
This fall, the Jan Krugier Gallery - New York, will hold an exhibition at Dactyl, a non-profit foundation in downtown Manhattan dedicated to fostering creativity and providing a forum for discussion among artist, writers and thinkers. The exhibition, entitled “Dialogues,” will show the essential aesthetic, intellectual and instinctual forces that unite in works of master artists and creators. The works on exhibit will span from antiquity to the present-day an will include works by Pablo Picasso, Mark Rothko, Paul Klee, Alberto Giacometti, Kurt Schwitters, Jean Dubuffet, Georges Seurat, J.M.W. Turner, Gustave Courbet, Goya, Rembrandt, and unique selections of ancient, pre-Columbian, African and contemporary art.
Dialogue, the trade of ideas, is the necessary instrument for enlivening civilization and creating culture; transgressing geographic and chronological borders. Art may be the quintessential example of this timeless exchange. Whether an instinctive gesture or a conscious criticism, artistic expression is driven by a basic need to discover, describe and define the essence of humanity. It brings together the old and new, the fleeting and the eternal. Referencing Picasso’s dedicatory phrase, “to young painters,” when describing his own collection, the Jan Krugier Gallery will thus exhibit masterpieces from its inventory to further this dialogue and inspire new creativity.
This exhibition is presented in collaboration with Dactyl Foundation and is held at their space at 64 Grand Street (between West Broadway and Wooster Street), NYC.
