We’re delighted to announce our participation in Independent with a presentation that has been years in the making.
The Artist Who Composed a Museum reconsiders Hilla Rebay—not simply as the founder of the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, but as one of the twentieth century’s most original artists.
Bringing together paintings by Rebay alongside works by Rudolf Bauer, Charles Green Shaw, Irene Rice Pereira, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Alice Trumbull Mason, László Moholy-Nagy, Rolph Scarlett, Dwinell Grant, Ilya Bolotowsky, and Penrod Centurion, the exhibition explores a remarkable idea:
What if the Museum of Non-Objective Painting was Hilla Rebay’s greatest work of art?
