Pavel Zoubok Gallery specializes in collage, assemblage and mixed-media Installation.
(26)

Since 1997, Pavel Zoubok Gallery has specialized in collage, assemblage and mixed-media Installation. From the outset, the gallery’s program has presented modern and contemporary works in an effort to create a cohesive art historical context for collage and its related forms, spanning most of the major art movements of the postwar period. While the primary market has always been a driving force of

our program, represented by a diverse group of gallery artists, we maintain an inventory of works by important proponents of the medium, including Hannelore Baron, Joe Brainard, Joseph Cornell, Al Hansen, Ray Johnson, Jiri Kolar, Mimmo Rotella, Anne Ryan, Jacques Villeglé and David Wojnarowicz. Since the gallery’s 2004 relocation to a ground floor space in the heart of Chelsea, we make a regular practice of publishing exhibition catalogues collaborating with numerous scholars and critics including Alexander Andersen-Spivy, Dan Cameron, Edward Gomez, Robert Hobbs, Charlotta Kotik, Carlo McCormick, Robert Rosenblum and Dickran Tashjian. Our audience continues to broaden and we continue to develop relationships with institutions. Museum associations have included Wadsworth Atheneum of Art, Brooklyn Museum, Katonah Museum of Art, New Britain Museum of American Art, Newark Museum, Norton Museum of Art, and others. In addition to our stated focus, we have also maintained a tangential but related interest in Surrealism, establishing an inventory of works by artists such as Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, Roberto Matta, George Hugnet, Kay Sage and Stella Snead. In 2009, Pavel Zoubok Gallery was made a member of the ADAA (Art Dealer's Association of America).

If your summer travels bring you to Maine make sure to check out “Alive & Kicking: Fantastic Installations by Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt, , and Gladys Nilsson” on view through November 11 !

“In popular use since about 1830, the expression “alive and kicking” originated among fishmongers to advertise a fresh catch. Both now and then, the turn of phrase emphasizes that something or someone is particularly and especially alive. In that spirit, these artists produce work with s***k, grit, and exuberance. Though elements of identity come into play for all three—Nilsson references blue-collar living and her own bodily aging process; Muñoz draws from growing up trans, intersex, and Chilean; and Lanigan-Schmidt alludes through content and materials to his Catholic upbringing, economic status, and q***r sensibility—none of the work is didactic. Instead, each artist imbues their work with vibrant, animated, and off-kilter qualities.” - Curator 🩵🩷

Only a few days left to check out the exhibition “ADDIE HERDER: Machines for Living” at the Frost Art Museum in Miami!

“Her career was not loud, but her distinctive voice was understood and appreciated by many collectors. Herder’s oeuvre inspires new modes of questioning assumptions about who makes great art. Machines for Living, the first museum exhibition devoted to the work of Herder since the 1976 survey at the Neuberger Museum of Art, scintillates in the context of new art historical narratives.” -

The esteemed art historian Jack Flam summed up Addie Herder’s art, writing: “Every passionate gesture of belief is debunked at the same time it is articulated yet without any loss of conviction…. This paradoxical heart of experience is captured in the miniaturized vastness that is the genius of Addie’s work.”

“I know the first person that I look to when I make my art is myself and I make it because I love those types of materials and that kind of like celebratory feeling. My art is very similar to a Christmas tree because a Christmas tree has decorations that are used year after year, families put up Christmas tree decorations, then they get put in a box and put way. Christmas trees are a really good symbol of the celebration of life, both strong and fragile at the same time.”–Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt in a 2021 interview with L’nique Noel, Rubin-Ladd Intern, FIU graduate, and MFA student.

"In the prevailing literature that surrounds Pop – and particularly the artists working in America – much attention is paid to a group of five or so men who are central to the movement’s adoption by a broad commercial and critical audience. By reconsidering the influence of a variety of figures – many of them women – who actively participated in the movement from its inception, we can cull new insights into the recurring themes and meanings within Pop art itself, while also gleaning new perspective on the artists and movements which proceed it."

Thank you to everyone at the for making this exhibition and catalogue a reality! See link in bio.

"Addie Herder (1920–2009) worked on a small scale, exploring rigorous compositional principles of balance and dynamism. Her career was not loud, but her distinctive voice was understood and appreciated by many collectors. Herder’s oeuvre inspires new modes of questioning assumptions about who makes great art. Machines for Living, the first museum exhibition devoted to the work of Herder since the 1976 survey at the , scintillates in the context of new art historical narratives. This beautifully illustrated book is the first to examine her intricate and intriguing “assemblage” constructions and ephemera, bringing her careful works to the present day."

was a formative part of Pavel Zoubok Gallery, as well as a cherished friend and mentor. My first encounter with her intimately scaled collages and paper constructions was a revelation. In works that are intimate in scale but large in visual impact, she captured so much of the joy and wonder I felt in large, cosmopolitan cities like New York, Paris, and London. In the early years of our friendship, we had periodic dinner parties with the Surrealist painter and photographer Stella Snead, whom I would go on to represent for many years, and the pioneering fiber and mixed-media artist, Lenore Tawney, both of whom became dear friends. These evenings, spent in quiet restaurants talking and drinking champagne, were an education in the New York art world of the 1940s, 50s, and beyond, and in the challenges of being a working artist while female in the time before Feminism. - Pavel Zoubok

#PZFA is excited to announce the release of #IDLES’ second single “Car Crash” from their newest album #CRAWLER. The #musicvideo, created by gallery artist #MatthewCusick and edited by IDLES’ Lee Kiernan, was a project that began in 2001. @mattcusickpost took a break from painting and began digitally cataloging car chase scenes from 20th century American cinema as an extension of his paintings and map collages. Appropriating footage from as early as the Keystone Cops, Cusick assembled “File on Motor Transgression, 2001-2011” by condensing more than 500 car chases into a navigation of the American landscape throughout cinematic history. On collaborating with IDLES in Cusick’s words: “It is a gut wrenching, symbiotic conclusion to the piece. It has now what it was always missing… a killer soundtrack.” Thank you to @partisanrecords and @idlesband for their collaboration on this project.

Our Story

Since 1997, Pavel Zoubok has exhibited the work of contemporary and modern artists with a unique focus in the fields of collage, assemblage and mixed media installation. From the outset, Pavel Zoubok Gallery combined modern and contemporary works in an effort to create a cohesive art historical and commercial context for collage and its related forms, spanning most of the major art movements of the postwar period. While the primary market has always been the driving force of our activity, represented by a diverse group of distinguished contemporary artists, we have always maintained an inventory of works by important proponents of the medium, including Hannelore Baron, Joe Brainard, Joseph Cornell, Al Hansen, Grace Hartigan, Ray Johnson, Jiri Kolar, Robert Motherwell, Louise Nevelson, Mimmo Rotella, Anne Ryan, Jacques Villegle and David Wojnarowicz. Our twentieth year marks a new chapter in our story, with a more dynamic business model and a name change to Pavel Zoubok Fine Art. The result is a more diverse range of exhibitions and public programs in venues across the United States and abroad.
