Harvey Quaytman: Against the Static

The paintings of Harvey Quaytman (1937–2002) are distinct for their novel explorations of shape, drawing, texture, geometric pattern, and color application. While his works display a rigorous experimentation with formalism and materiality, they are simultaneously invested with rich undertones of sensuality, complexity, and humor. This new retrospective exhibition charts the trajectory of Quaytman’s work from the 1960s to the late 1990s, including more than seventy works from key points throughout his career.
