SUMMARY:Exhibition Tour - Hilma af Klint: What Stands Behind the Flowers
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate early hours tour of the stunning exhibition of botanical watercolors by Hilma af Klint (1862-1944). The tour will be led by Jodi Hauptman\, The Richard Roth Senior Curator\, Department of Drawings and Prints at MoMA. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about this fascinating artist and her unique\, spiritual depictions the flora found in the fields of Sweden. \nFree event: Registration is required \nThis event is organized by The Drawing Foundation.  \n__ \nExhibition Information: \nIn the spring and summer of 1919 and 1920\, during a period of intense engagement with nature\, artist Hilma af Klint drew flowers almost every day. “I will try\,” she wrote\, “to grasp the flowers of the earth.” This exhibition focuses on a recently discovered portfolio of drawings—jewel-toned watercolors made by a keen-eyed naturalist\, attuned to the rhythms and bounty of the blooming season. \nBreaking with traditional botanical art\, af Klint juxtaposed her exquisitely rendered blossoms with precisely drawn diagrams: a blooming sunflower is echoed by nested circles; a marsh marigold is accompanied by mirrored spirals; a cluster of budding branches is set against checkerboards of dots and strokes. With this profusion of forms—an expansion of the abstract language for which she is best known—af Klint visualizes “what stands behind the flowers\,” demonstrating her belief that careful observation of her surroundings reveals ineffable aspects of the human condition. \nAf Klint imagined her portfolio as an atlas—or in botanical terms a flora—that details the plants of Sweden\, where she lived and worked. Hers\, however\, is a flora of the spirit\, a mapping of the natural world in spiritual terms that would stand alongside any scientific resource. Putting representation and abstraction\, close looking and envisioning\, art and botany into dialogue\, af Klint’s drawings recognize the interconnectedness of all living things. “I have shown\,” she wrote\, “that there is a connection between the plant world and the world of the soul.” \n  \n \n__ \nImage: Installation view of Hilma af Klint: What Stands Behind the Flowers\, 2025

SUMMARY:Exhibition Tour: Ellsworth Kelly Sketchbooks
DESCRIPTION:Tour the year-long installation at MoMA of Ellsworth Kelly’s Sketchbooks with Samantha Friedman\, Associate Curator\, Museum of Modern Art. \nThe works that Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015) created over his six-decade career feature economic lines\, reduced geometries\, and uninterrupted planes of color. They appear strikingly simple yet embody a semblance of ease that conceals the effort and experimentation involved in producing them. Kelly’s sketchbooks—which largely remained private throughout the artist’s lifetime—reveal the particularities of his unique process. Their pages hint at the real-world references that often inspired his seemingly non-objective compositions. \nThis installation celebrates the centennial of Kelly’s birth and includes several works that came to MoMA as gifts of Jack Shear\, including 25 of the artist’s sketchbooks. A selection of them are shown with related drawings and paintings. In automatic drawings he let his pencil flow freely. In multicolor grids he similarly harnessed the possibilities of chance while arranging squares of paper. And in collages of flat color\, he chose shapes that he adopted from “out there in the world”—transforming passing impressions into an art of ideals. \nThis event is organized by The Drawing Foundation in association with Master Drawings New York 2024. \n \nImage: Ellsworth Kelly (1923-2015)\, Sketchbook #26\, New York City. 1954–56.

SUMMARY:ED RUSCHA / NOW THEN
DESCRIPTION:“I don’t have any Seine River like Monet\,” Ed Ruscha once said. “I’ve just got US 66 between Oklahoma and Los Angeles.” ED RUSCHA / NOW THEN will feature over 200 works—in mediums including painting\, drawing\, prints\, photography\, artist’s books\, film\, and installation—that make use of everything from gunpowder to chocolate. Exploring Ruscha’s landmark contributions to postwar American art as well as lesser-known aspects of his more than six-decade career\, the exhibition will offer new perspectives on a body of work that has influenced generations of artists\, architects\, designers\, and writers. \nIn 1956\, Ruscha left his hometown of Oklahoma City and drove along interstate highway 66 to study commercial art in Los Angeles\, where he drew inspiration from the city’s architecture\, colloquial speech\, and popular culture. Ruscha has recorded and transformed familiar subjects—whether roadside gasoline stations or the 20th Century Fox logo—often revisiting motifs\, sites\, or words years later. Tracing shifts in the artist’s means and methods over time\, ED RUSCHA / NOW THEN underscores the continuous reinvention that has defined his work. \nLocations:  \nMoMA\, New York:  September 7\, 2023 – January 13\, 2024\nLACMA\, Los Angeles: April 7 – October 6\, 2024
