Reopening Thursday, August 27 and on view through January 9, 2021, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, presents the 

. Organized by Ann Temkin, The Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture; and Yasmil Raymond, Associate Curator; with Tamar Margalit, Curatorial Assistant; and Erica Cooke, Research Fellow, Department of Painting and Sculpture, MoMA, 

 explores the work of the celebrated artist who aimed to create straightforward pieces that could assume a direct, material, and physical presence, without recourse to grand philosophical statements. Judd eschewed the classical ideals of representational sculpture in favor of creating a rigorous visual vocabulary that sought clear and definite objects as its primary mode of articulation. Presented solely at MoMA, this retrospective includes some sixty works of sculpture, painting, and drawing, from public and private collections in the US and abroad.

“Half a century after Judd established himself as a leading figure of his time, there remains a great deal to discover,” Temkin says. “MoMA’s presentation will emphasize the radicality of his approach to art-making and the visual complexity of his work.” The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalog, featuring essays examining subjects fundamental to Judd’s work and thinking, including methods of fabrication, his early paintings and sketchbooks, his relationship with museums, his interest in site-specific work, and his activities in the realms of design and architecture.

Published by Judd Foundation and David Zwirner Books in 2019,

“Movement is a theme in Ancart’s art and in his life—from his decision to immigrate to the United States after art school in Brussels to his breakthrough body of work, a series of drawings he made in the back of his car while on a cross-country road trip, which were later exhibited at the Menil Collection in Houston (some of the pieces for this show was created in Los Angeles, where Ancart temporarily decamped during the Covid-19 pandemic). He compares making his paintings to taking the kind of walk where you don’t chart a course, and on his studio door he’s stenciled the words ‘Grand Flâneur.’ It’s a sort of self-imposed nickname—not, as he puts it, in the ‘19th-century lazy dandy’ sense, but rather as ‘one who walks around and tries to isolate poetic moments out of the everyday urban landscape. I think that’s how I’ve learned to be an artist: walking the streets, not torturing myself in a studio.’”

For two weeks this October at our 20th Street gallery, we invite you to experience a historically significant work by Doug Wheeler. 

 (1967) is on view for the first time since the artist’s first solo exhibition at the Pasadena Art Museum in 1968.

The present work is one of two large-format works of this kind in existence. This installation is a rare example of the artist’s “fabricated light paintings” made between 1965 and mid-1967, a period that marked Wheeler’s departure from traditional painting and his first experiments with light as a medium.

This fabricated light painting is installed on a white wall, above a white floor. The resulting effect is one of a halo of light that not only plays across the surface of the work but also melds with the white wall. As Wheeler’s longtime collaborator and author of the artist’s first major 

, published by David Zwirner Books in 2019, art historian Germano Celant notes, “The radiant entity that emerges from the spray-painted acrylic sheet seems almost like the birth of a new phenomenal event.”
