Kabinett Sector, Booth K3

Alexander Gray Associates presented a focused selection of historical works by Luis Camnitzer executed between 1972–73. These works represent a key moment in Camnitzer’s New York-based career, one in which he shifts from printmaking to alternate artistic mediums.

Painting with Titles (1973), one of the few painterly works by the artist, explores Camnitzer’s use of parody and syntax to expand on the impulses and mythologies of Abstract Expressionism and Conceptualism. A complementary selection of early works on paper emphasizes accumulative process and material transformation, blurring the lines between method and medium. Together, these slices of Camnitzer’s early practice anticipate current modes of formal and linguistic abstraction.

Also works by: Heidi Bucher, Melvin Edwards, Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe, Harmony Hammond, Joan Semmel, Hassan Sharif, Regina Silveira, Jack Whitten
