GERALD PETERS GALLERY, ESTATES New York Gallery Estates

Santa Fe Gallery Estates

Gerald Peters Gallery, New York, represents the estates of a number of American Modernist artists. Shared between the two galleries is the estate of Max Weber (1881-1961). While Weber did not paint in New Mexico, he was an important early member of the Stieglitz circle in New York and a key figure among America’s first avant-garde. Along with Weber, William Zorach, Marguerite Zorach, and Harold Weston were all major proponents of modernist art in America and their paintings, drawings, and sculptures helped define that artistic period in New York City and beyond. Exhibiting in their lifetimes at the major New York galleries – Stieglitz’s 291 and An American Place, Edith Halpert’s Downtown Gallery, and Newman Montross’s Montross Gallery – Gerald Peters Gallery is happy to continue the tradition of promoting the legacies of the artists that shaped modern American art.

In the first few decades of the twentieth century, Santa Fe was the site of a budding and vibrant artist colony. Progressive artists and writers, established and unknown, flocked to the City Different during the summer months to take advantage of the scenery, climate, low cost of living, and multicultural flavor. Unlike the more traditional Taos Society of Artists further north or the art Academies back East, Santa Fe offered a greater sense of artistic and political freedom. Its geographic isolation offered a retreat from the city and machineage modernity on the one hand, and the art academies which still operated under the shadow of Europe on the other. While many painted independently or were loosely grouped into the category of the Santa Fe Art Colony, smaller groups did emerge such as Los Cinco Pintores, the New Mexico Painters, or in the late 1930s, the Transcendental Painting Group. Willard Nash (1898-1942) was one of the earliest and most sophisticated artists of the Santa Fe Art Colony and a founding member of the young artists’ group that called itself Los Cinco Pintores. The Cinco Pintores, comprised of Nash, Jozef Bakos, Will Shuster, Fremont Ellis and Walter Mruk, believed in experimenting freely with modernist painting methods. Under the tutelage of Andrew Dasburg, Nash, and some of the other members of this group, explored cubism and the structural principals of fragmented form made famous by Paul Cézanne. The Gerald Peters Gallery, Santa Fe is the exclusive representative of the Willard Nash Estate along with numerous other early modernists of 1920s and 30s Santa Fe. Frank Applegate, Jozef Bakos, Cyrus Baldridge, Marjorie Eaton, Joseph Fleck, Albert Krehbiel, Datus Myers, Helmuth Naumer, BJO Nordfeldt and Albert Schmidt comprise our robust estates department. Recent additions of the Harold Joe Waldrum and Phyllis Sloane estates complete our holdings.

Spring and Summer Exhibitions The gallery just wrapped up Harvey Dinnerstein’s New York. A selection of paintings and drawings from the 1980s through the present day, the exhibition focused on the work of American realist painter Harvey Dinnerstein and his perceptive scenes of New York City, which have defined his career and garnered him critical acclaim. While Dinnerstein is connected stylistically and technically to a long history of realist painting in the United States and Europe, he has brought these traditions into the twenty-first century. Focusing on his home city, Dinnerstein continues to respond to contemporary life, passages of time, and most importantly, our human connection. In a review published in Linea on February 27th, Jerry Weiss observed that the group of works presents “a view of the city that is by turns poetic, rhetorical and personal. Even when the works carry a rougher urban edge, pictorial grace takes precedence.” Read the full article here. Harvey Dinnerstein, Flatbush Express, 2004, oil on canvas, 54 ¾ x 29 ½ inches

John Gibson: New Works opened on March 28th. The works in the exhibition explore the tension between representation and reality that remains at the heart of Gibson’s John Gibson, Home, 2018, oil on collaged paintings. As the wood panel, 13 x 12 inches. artist explains: “Every day I try to wring a ‘real’ ball out of a flat surface and every day I can’t quite do it. In the good paintings there is some residue of that effort and in the best paintings there is a lot. In many ways, then, the subject of these paintings is just that residue: a wish for something that cannot be had; a version of a ball overlaid with desire.” A Massachusetts native and a graduate of RISD, Gibson has shown his works in Boston and New York since the 1980s. His work is in numerous public and private collections across the US. The exhibition will run through April 27th.

Logan Maxwell Hagege The Rain Falls, The Sun Shines, 2018 oil on linen 32 x 43 inches.

The gallery is pleased to be hosting Logan Maxwell Hagege’s first solo show in New York City. Opening on May 10th, Logan Maxwell Hagege: Where Land Meets Sky will present twelve recent paintings by this west-coast talent. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Hagege’s classical art training has allowed him to depart from formal realism and to focus on modern design principles in the creation of his canvases. Having drawn inspiration from childhood trips to the California desert to visit his grandmother, Hagege is known for his western scenes focusing on contemporary Native Americans and the landscape of the southwest and for bringing relics of the Old West - like bucking broncs - into the present through his engaging, lyrical style. Take the opportunity to meet the artist at the opening reception and visit the gallery through June 8th to see the exhibition.

Jimmy Calabaza (Ca’ Win) Jewelry Santo Domingo Pueblo jewelry artist Jimmy Calabaza (Ca’ Win) has been a popular mainstay of our jewelry program for many years. His work bridges the gap between traditional Native jewelry and more contemporary styles. Among his signature pieces are the jet/turquoise multi-strand necklaces, the amazing weave necklace and the turquoise sidebox necklaces. Even at first glance his work reveals a lasting, traditional vision incorporated into a heightened sense of contemporary design.

Book of the Month GEORGE HERMS: THE RIVER BOOK Hamilton Press, Venice, CA. 2014 2 volumes in slipcase. 1 of 1500 copies. George Herms was one of the seminal figures in the Southern California arts movement of the late 50s and 60s. He was joined during this “Golden Age of Junk” by an heroic roster of fellow outlaw collage/assemblage artists Wallace Berman, Robert Rauschenberg, Edward Kienholz and others, who played fast and loose with artistic expression and praised improvisation, taking their cues from the confluence of jazz and the Beats. As Dave Hickey writes in the book’s generous introduction: “In its formal resolution, then, Herms work is redolent with its own brand of pre-apocalyptic optimism. So we should remember that, in the urgency of the Beat bebop culture, Herms’ assemblies eluded their academic pigeonhole.” Still working, Herms’ art is experiencing a long-overdue renaissance. Profusely illustrated with assemblies, collage and photographs. $95
