DANESE/COREY HAS ENDED ITS EXHIBITION PROGRAM

DANESE/COREY HAS ENDED ITS EXHIBITION PROGRAM

May 2020


Like many of you, we have withstood a number of hardships over the past few months, the most significant of course being the passing of Renato Danese. It is with a heavy heart that we have determined we are unable to keep the gallery open. 

We are deeply grateful to the artists with whom we have worked, and the many collectors and colleagues who have supported us over the years. It is these relationships that have sustained us, particularly through this difficult time.

We hope you will continue to stay in touch, as we set off in new directions. Carol Corey will be opening Carol Corey Fine Art in Kent, CT (email carol@coreyfineart.com) and will be in contact with more details in the coming weeks. Associate Directors Brent Auxier and Kate Pentkowski Kline have partnered together to create Auxier Kline (instagram @auxierkline) and will be reaching out regarding their exhibition program. 
Should you have any questions about Danese Corey, please feel free to be in touch at contact@danese.com

We look forward to meeting again in our new ventures. Until then, please stay safe and well.
 

Renato Danese (1944 - 2020)

Renato Danese (1944 - 2020)

April 3, 202

It is with profound sadness that I write to tell you of the passing of my dear friend and partner Renato Danese, who died yesterday morning in his home in Westerly, RI. Renato was diagnosed with cancer in February, so this loss is as sudden as is it devastating, and my heart goes out to his wife Christina, and to the rest of his family, his friends and many colleagues. 
 
How we will miss this kind and generous man, with his agile mind, his elegance, his quick wit, and his rumbling baritone. He was passionate about art, about life, politics, wine, baseball, salmon fishing, and his little dog Scout. 
 
A celebration of Renato’s life will be held in the future and we will be in touch with more details.

Roz Chast in The New Yorker

Roz Chast in The New Yorker

by Adam Gopnik

Dec. 30, 2019

Certain comic artists carry an aura that makes everything around them look like their work. In the company of Saul Steinberg, a simple Italian restaurant on Sullivan Street could feel as gravely melancholy and precisely ordered as one of his drawings, while a day spent with Bruce McCall has a hallucinatory atmosphere in which everything in Manhattan seems to have been transplanted from a midsize Canadian city in the nineteen-fifties—to the point that he seems able to find parking spaces at will, as if carrying them in his Torontonian pocket. So when the cartoonist and graphic storyteller Roz Chast invites a friend to dinner near her West Side pied-à-terre, where she escapes from her staider, greener Connecticut life, the Turkish restaurant she chooses inevitably turns out to be the most purely Chastian locale in New York...

Weather Report will reveal the sky as a site where the aesthetic, the romantic, the political, the social, and the scientific co-exist and inform one another. The depiction of weather phenomena in the visual arts is traditionally linked with either landscape painting or photography, but in the last two decades artists have increasingly turned to other media to explore weather and, by extension, the larger subject of the Earth’s atmosphere.

Over thirteen years later, thanks to the generosity of numerous public and private donors, that dream has become a reality.

Fear and Wonder: Sublime Landscapes on Paper - Selections from the Museum's Collection

Feb. 12 - Aug. 4, 2019

Artists have long represented the simultaneously beautiful and terrifying elements of the natural world. In the 18th century, philosopher Edmund Burke wrote of the power of the sublime in nature as capable of filling the mind with astonishment accompanied by a degree of dread. To Burke, vast landscapes, scenes of great dimension, and even the presence of dangerous creatures activated feelings of fear and wonder that defined the sublime....

Oct. 2017

New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast is a city person. She grew up in an apartment building in Brooklyn, N.Y., and though she moved to the suburbs as an adult when she was pregnant with her second child, she never stopped loving the grit and excitement of New York City.

"Just about every street in Manhattan has that kind of density of visual information," she says. "It's just fun. I like looking at it. Everything seems to suggest stories."

Through an elegant combination of drawing, painting and sculpture, Hadi Tabatabai's work describes a place that is as much an idea as a physical location. These compositions embody liminality: that is, they create a constant experience of sensations that exist at the limen, or edge, of perception. To bring about this state, Tabatabai has removed all possible distractions. Narrative and figuration, even figure and ground, have been excised from these delicate combinations of squares, rectangles and floating lines....

Our dear friend and gallery artist Patrick Faulhaber passed away from lung cancer on May 11, 2016.

As Renato Danese described in the Dallas News' obituary, "Faulhaber had a remarkable ability to capture the character of the humble places in the Dallas environs. It was almost as if Tennessee Williams or John Steinbeck or Eudora Welty was standing behind him. He had an awareness of the inner soul of whatever he was painting. He was also one of the finest human beings I’ve ever met. He was a sweet, lovely man with great talent and he is sorely missed.”

at Beard Gallery, Watson Fine Arts, Wheaton College, Norton, MA

Oct. 23 - Dec. 16, 2015

Reed draws largely on 17th- and 18th-century European paintings and prints for her source material. Using photographs of these works from art history textbooks and other sources, she often borrows themes and imagery from the works but creates her own compositions. This translation from original to photograph, and photograph to painting, gives Reed’s work a contemporary edge, despite its reliance on centuries-old artworks. Her black-and-white palette imbues the work with a cinematic quality, and the large scale of the work (some life-size) invite the viewer to step right into her sumptuously charged environments, filled with figures and wild animals of all kinds in various states of tension with their surroundings and each other. This exhibition will include recent work, including the 47-foot-long In Dubious Battle, along with some older work that will reveal the evolution of her process and imagery.

Review of Roz Chast at the Norman Rockwell Museum

STOCKBRIDGE — Roz Chast’s cartoons, the subject of a terrific summer show at the Norman Rockwell Museum, are about everything that’s incommensurable in life. They try to equate, on the one hand, this, this, that, these (how many do you want?), oh and that, too, take your pick; and on the other, splat. Sound of escaping air. Nothing.

How I love them.

On Saturday night, in a ballroom holding hundreds of top cartoonists, the organizers might as well have piped in Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off,” because for only the third time in the event’s six-decade-plus history, a woman — the New Yorker’s Roz Chast — received the group’s big honor, the Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year. And her trophy capped what may well be the event’s winningest night ever for female writers and artists, as six women won in the 16 competitive categories.

Larry Poons | Artsy Review

Larry Poons | Artsy Review

Take a guess who’s behind Outta-Here (2015), a boldly abstract, nearly seven-foot-wide acrylic painting, dense with frenetic brushstrokes in saturated pastel hues. It’s not a boundary-pushing street artist or an edgy emerging painter: it’s Larry Poons, a veteran New York artist who’s nearly eighty years old.

Youth, as it turns out, is less important than inspiration—and Poons, who’s been working in the field for nearly six decades, seems to possess an endless supply of the latter. He dropped out of the New England Conservatory of Music in 1955 to pursue a career as an artist; 10 years later, his work was selected for inclusion in the seminal MoMA exhibition “The Responsive Eye,” considered the first introduction of op art to the public. Since then, he’s moved into an abstract-expressionist style, and now, in his late 70s—at a stage of life when many artists retreat into the background, appearing in galleries only for retrospectives of their work—Poons is producing some of his most energetic and interesting work to date. 

Ecstatically Chromatic: Larry Poons & Syd Solomon | Hamptons Art Hub

Ecstatically Chromatic: Larry Poons & Syd Solomon | Hamptons Art Hub

Viewers can smile at the eponymous blue figure in Oh Charlie suspended over a blur of reds, blues, yellows and Poons’s brilliant range of whites, or revel in the Joan Mitchell-esque greens sweeping along a diagonal in Untitled, two of the bright spots in a consistently powerful show.

The great critic and curator Robert Pincus Witten once observed, “Poons instrumentalizes chance (the very hallmark of Abstract Expressionist painting)." The value of that felicitous expression is particularly suited to Premonition and Gravity, which changes course both gesturally and chromatically innumerable times on the way from edge to edge. Check out the dates on these canvases:  All came out of the studio from 2014 to the present.

Prolific Poons at Danese Corey by Piri Halasz

Prolific Poons at Danese Corey by Piri Halasz

It is truly amazing, how fertile is the invention of Larry Poons, still going strong at 77. Even more amazing is how successful are so many of the works in “Larry Poons: New Paintings” at Danese / Corey (through May 29).

Abstract expressionism, Monet lily pads and steamy more Bonnard summer gardens are still the ancestors here, but now in some cases with narrow brush strokes outlining forms that overlie the base fields of gently waving strokes of color. 

Cloud by Susie MacMurray | The Great Hall Winchester in Embroidery

Cloud by Susie MacMurray | The Great Hall Winchester in Embroidery

Susie MacMurray is an artist who is fascinated by different materials. She explores both their structural possibilities and inherent meanings, building up dramatic sculptures out of unexpected materials such as household gloves (A Mixture of Frailties), sheet music (Resonance), mussels (Shell) or garden hose pipes (Flood). For her newest work, Cloud, a site-specific installation created for Winchester’s medieval Great Hall, she turns her attention to barbed wire and military identity tags.

Susie MacMurray - "Cloud" installation

Susie MacMurray - "Cloud" installation

Great Hall, Winchester

"Cloud" is a monumental new artwork by artist Susie MacMurray.

Responding to conflict, loss and memory, and in particular the First World War, "Cloud" reflects the ominous presence of conflict which hung over Europe during 1914-18. This aerial work will hang from the roof of Winchester's Great Hall and hover above drifts of replica identity tags representing both fallen soldiers and those that returned.
"The war hung heavy over the population of this and other countries like a great storm cloud -- its shadow touching everyone and sucking individulas into its mass on an unprecedented scale. People who were left behind were affected just as profoundly as those who crossed the sea to fight."  (Susie MacMurray 2015)

Theresa Chong in Artcritical

Theresa Chong in Artcritical

by Jonathan Goodman

11/06/2104

Inspired by meeting John Cage in New York in the 1990s, after pursuing cello studies at the Oberlin Conservatory, Theresa Chong’s early work incorporated chance/random aesthetics and musical notation into elaborate and elegant ink painting. Now, midcareer, Chong returns to an abstraction that skirts Asian traditions in ways that are deeply original:  small marks on exquisite paper hold their own between highly worked, nearly textural embellishments and a fine sense of overall composition.

Roz Chast, “Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?,” Bloomsbury

In her graphic memoir, Ms. Chast, a cartoonist for The New Yorker, details her parents’ final years and their struggles with dementia, illness and financial instability. “No one has perfect parents and no one can write a perfect book about her relationship to them. But Chast has come close,” Alex Witchel wrote in a review in The New York Times.

April Gornik: Profile in Hamptons Art Hub

April Gornik: Profile in Hamptons Art Hub

Within a Forest Dark by Annette Hinkle

May 27, 2014

Anyone familiar with April Gornik’s art knows she likes to work large—very large.

“My paintings are usually bigger than six feet,” Gornik said in a recent interview. “They occupy a little more than your corporal presence and they meet you like another presence. Hopefully you’ll have a reaction similar to the physical scale.”

Gornik’s massive, ethereal landscapes are not quite of this world and tend by design to evoke introspection, emotion or memory. Her imagery can take viewers to tranquil spots such as still ponds and calming waterfalls, or to seas that churn and expansive golden fields threatened by ominous skies. She also likes to visit the quieter, cathedral-like environment of forests in her work, the towering trunks and sun dappled interiors offering mystery and a maze of possibility.

Shelley Reed at Columbia Museum of Art, Columbia, SC

Shelley Reed at Columbia Museum of Art, Columbia, SC

May 17, 2014

Based in Boston, Mass., Shelley Reed is an unexpected painter because she does not use color in her current work, although she started out as a colorist. Her palette shrank as she became less interested in exploiting color and more interested in exploring the meaning of Old Master paintings. The result of her ongoing “conversations” with the Old Masters is Animal Instinct, an impressive selection of 26 large-scale black and white paintings of animals posing as people, including a wall-length mural. The CMA is the first museum to present a career retrospective of American artist Shelley Reed.

Connie Fox: Sammy's Beach by Joyce Beckenstein

May 6, 2014

In 1979, at the urging of her friend and colleague, the painter Elaine de Kooning (1918 – 89), Connie Fox moved to East Hampton. Almost daily, the two walked and swam at Sammy’s Beach, a local flat strand of shoreline. Fox calls her continuing “Sammy’s Beach time” a “meditative hike.” Decades of memories, exuberant, elegiac, real, and surreal collide in Connie Fox: Sammy’s Beach her new series of large abstract paintings, completed between 2007 and 2014. Stunned by their grandeur, a young art crowd casually wandering in for the Danese/Corey gallery reception stayed on. Little wonder, for sans technology and appropriation, Fox’s paintings are edgy, fresh, and utterly contemporary. As one young man, transfixed before “Sammy’s Beach X,” observed, “They’re about everything a painting is supposed to be.”

New York Times, Review of Roz Chast's new book "Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant?"

New York Times, Review of Roz Chast's new book "Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant?"

by Michiko Kakutani

May 6, 2014

Roz Chast feels — and draws — our pain. Our neurotic worries and genuine fears, our mundane and existential anxieties, our daydreams, nightmares, insecurities and guilty regrets. Or, rather, she does such a funny, fluent job in her New Yorker cartoons of conveying the things that keep her up at night that many readers are convinced that she is somehow mapping their own inner lives.

NPR, Interview with Roz Chast

NPR, Interview with Roz Chast

Why Bring Up Death When We Could Talk About 'Something More Pleasant'?

May 5, 2014

When people talk about extending the human lifespan to 120 it bothers Roz Chast. "That upsets me for a lot of reasons," she tells NPR's Melissa Block. "I feel like these are people who don't really know anybody over 95." The reality of old age, she says, is that "people are not in good shape, and everything is falling apart."

Chast should know. The longtime New Yorker cartoonist is an only child and became the sole caretaker for her parents, George and Elizabeth Chast, when they reached old age. In her new, illustrated memoir — Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant? — Chast mixes the humor with the heartache. It's about the last years of her parents' lives and her relationship with them as their child and conflicted caretaker.

Huffington Post "April Gornik: Recent Paintings and Drawings at Danese/Corey"

Huffington Post "April Gornik: Recent Paintings and Drawings at Danese/Corey"

Interview by John Seed

May 2, 2014

The paintings and drawings on view in April Gornik's current show at Danese/Corey -- roiling seas, active skies, and serenely lit forests -- come across as truthful. Gornik believes that "truth should involve complication" and the apparent beauty of her paintings is heightened by the artist's awareness of the circumstances and forces surrounding them.

Just as John Constable's paintings of the English countryside hinted that the Industrial Revolution was bringing change to the landscape, Gornik's world is permeated by her wistful recognition of environmental forces. She loves the scenery she paints and her work doesn't have the requisite ironic distance of true postmodernism: Gornik is too much in touch with the way she feels about the landscape, and in its spiritual potential, to let a cerebral approach dominate.

I recently interviewed April and asked her about her work, her methods and her personal concerns and interests.

Parents Safely in the Closet
RIDGEFIELD, Conn. — By way of introducing her parents, Roz Chast opened her closet door and rummaged through some stuff on the floor. This is where she keeps them, amid miscellaneous boxes and general bedroom marginalia: her mother’s ashes in a maroon velvet pouch; her father’s in the Channel 13 tote bag he took with him everywhere.

“I like having my parents in my closet,” is how she explains it in her new graphic novel, “Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?”, which chronicles the pair’s long, precipitous decline, starting from when her mother fell off a stepladder in 2005 to the time she died, in 2009 (Ms. Chast’s father died in the middle of all that). “I think it makes a nice home for them.”

Dozier Bell's Drawings by Carl Belz

February 20, 2014

Dozier’s Bell’s imaginary landscape drawings comprise a vision of nature that sweeps across vast plains and valleys, ascends into lofty skies, and reaches toward far distant horizons, its range seemingly boundless, its scale undeniably majestic. The vision often pictures nature at dawn or dusk, its light generally dimmed and pale or momentarily darkened by clouds, its expanse sometimes broken only by a first or last glimpse of the flashing sun, its temper otherwise solemn, even troubled, as if brooding. The drama we observe in these panoramic images is evident in the ever-shifting cloud formations and constantly changing light they record, their restlessness making visible the conditions that obtain when the atmosphere suddenly warms or cools, fronts collide, and weather threatens.

Goings on About Town

February 5, 2014

This show is like a dictionary illustration for the verb “paint.” Massed small strokes in acrylic fill eleven large canvases, which suggest slightly different weather zones of a single, expansive country. The colors are effulgent, the textures fleshy, the touch urgent. Varied tones produce threats of figure-ground recession from which Poons recoils as if stung, wrestling them toward flatness. He has become the Sisyphus of modernist abstraction: achieving an old-school ideal of pure painting, which promptly expires. Then he does it again. Through Feb. 8.

These new works integrate Poons’s mastery of counterpoint construction, developed through the Dots and subsequent decades of painting. I would suggest that no other painter is able to mentally/visually construct color relationships across a huge canvas and through the duration of the working process like Poons.

New York Times "Larry Poons: New Paintings"

New York Times "Larry Poons: New Paintings"

by Roberta Smith

January 24, 2014

It’s daunting to think of the paintings and painters passing through Larry Poons’s mind these days. They seem to include Poussin, Claude, Cézanne, Renoir, Bonnard, early Picasso and always Pollock. At least those names can come to mind in front of Mr. Poons’s lush, teeming expanses of short, crazed, curling brush strokes, pastel colors and intimations — but only that — of landscape, bacchanals and Mediterranean sun.

Hyperallergic "Larry Poons: A Painter in his 80's, but Still in his Prime

by Peter Malone

January 16, 2014

Larry Poons’s recent paintings at Danese/Corey not only show him producing significant work as he approaches his eighties, but, unlike others of his age, Poons has refused to step gracefully behind his younger colleagues. He continues to work vigorously, and he has instinctively kept pace with painters years behind himself.

Huff Post "Notes on the Threatening Quality of Beauty"

Huff Post "Notes on the Threatening Quality of Beauty"

by Gabrielle Selz

September 21, 2013

A wonderful review of our exhibition "Susie MacMurray: Walking on the Rim of Night"

Artist Susie MacMurray consorts with the dangerous quality of beauty, that threatening edge between the sublime and the sinister. MacMurray, who is currently exhibiting in her first solo show in New York and inaugurating the new ground floor space of the renamed, Danese Corey Gallery, was once a classical musician. She played the bassoon before she abandoned the confinements of per-forming someone else's tune to compose her own visual creations, but the skills and practice garnered in the concert hall arena still underscore her work. MacMurray understands exactly how, and exactly where, the tension between dis-parate components can be brought together to form an unexpected harmony....
