Grace Hartigan: The Late Paintings

C. Grimaldis Gallery is pleased to present "Grace Hartigan: The Late Paintings," an exhibition of works from the 1980s - 2000s. Renowned for her formative participation in the Abstract Expressionist movement of the 1950s, Hartigan’s paintings from the latter decades of her career blend figurative content with her signature sensibility of vibrant color, active gesture and painterly freedom. Tracing their lineage from an early abstract practice often integrated with visionary signifiers, these canvases evince the artist’s lifelong integration of high art and popular culture possessed by a spontaneous composition and pictorial subject matter which presage the direction of contemporary painting today.

C. Grimaldis Gallery has proudly represented Grace Hartigan’s work and estate since 1979. Grace Hartigan: The Late Paintings will be the artist’s ninth solo exhibition at the gallery. Hartigan’s work is represented extensively in private and public collections worldwide including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
