Press Release
David Zwirner is pleased to announce an exhibition featuring Suzan Frecon (b. 1941), Fred Sandback (1943–2003), and Al Taylor (1948–1999) at the gallery’s 525 West 19th Street location in New York.
These artists—who have been central to the gallery’s program over the course of the past two decades—intersected in New York, living and working in the city and encountering each other’s work. Eschewing the various artistic styles that came in and out of fashion—in particular minimal, postminimal, and conceptual practices—in favor of distinctive individual modes of expression, each artist over time developed their own method for giving shape to space. Seen together, these three singular takes on abstraction find commonality in an innovative treatment of material, color, form, and line. Each facilitates a dynamic interchange between positive and negative space, privileging the experience of the viewer as a crucial component of their respective practices.
