Abstract Tendencies: Selections Fall 2002 was characterized by arrangements of shapes and colors suggesting a tendency toward formal abstraction shared by each artist. The selected artists either re-examined concepts and philosophies of abstraction or presented unabashed representations of the real and everyday. The accompanying publication features works and artist statements by the nine emerging artists selected through The Drawing Center’s Viewing Program: Joachim Bandau, Peter Dudek, William Duty, Nils Gjerdevic, Karl Jensen, Kathleen McShane, Ann Pibal, Suzanne Song, and Caroline Van Damme.
