Alan Fenton: The Monumental Paintings, 1958-60

About

The first exhibition to focus exclusively on Alan Fenton’s rarely-seen large-scale abstractions will go on view at Lincoln Glenn’s Larchmont space. The artist’s most recent exhibition was a 1977 traveling museum exhibition organized by the Phillips Collection focusing on Fenton’s washes and watercolors. Previously, he had exhibited his paintings in a solo exhibition at Pace Gallery in 1964. This exhibition presents a group of monumental paintings of gestural abstraction, realized by Fenton between 1958 and 1960, a period of great inventiveness when the artist was spending stretches of time in Springs, New York with Adolph Gottlieb.
