William Schwedler: Against The Grain

About

Susan Inglett Gallery presents the first exhibition of William Schwedler’s (b. 1942, d. 1982) work in New York since 1983. Among the early victims of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, Schwedler still managed to carve a space for himself in the New York scene. After attending the Art Institute among fellow artists who became known as the Chicago Imagists, Schwedler completed his studies at Pratt. While not a part of the group formally, Schwedler was deeply influenced by his Chicago peers, distinguishing himself by devising highly architected spaces devoid of the figure but not devoid of the uncanny.

Gallery II will feature work by Cynthia Carlson, Art Green, Gladys Nilsson, Jim Nutt, Christina Ramberg, and Karl Wirsum.
