Title: Marina Adams: What Are You Listening to
Description: New York, LGDR, 2022. Hardcover. Quarto. Hardcover. Bound in orange cloth. No jacket, as issued. 70 unnumbered pages : illustrations, 28 cm. "Marina Adams: What Are You Listening To? (2022) explored and highlighted the artist's signature style. Committed to pure painterly expression, Adams pursues rigorous examinations of color and form that situate her in the tradition of the New York School painting, with its emphasis on gesture, spontaneity, and improvisation--an aesthetic and methodology shared amongst poets, musicians, and dancers alike..In persistent dialogue with art-historical heroes Henri Matisse, Willem de Kooning, and Joan Mitchell, among others, Adams probes the lineages of modernism while adding her voice and momentum to this tradition..In making and installing this exhibition, Adams responded to the various shifting palettes and architectonic forms of the spaces at LGDR's building at 3 East 89th Street. A suite of three paintings--Like a Tree (2022), Song for My Mother (2022), and Stone Cold Fox (2022) juxtaposed with the aptly titled DIVA (2021)--was painted with the Beaux-Arts architecture of the building's Stone Room in mind." -- Host institution's website, viewed September 25, 2024.
