I have admired the work of Pierre Soulages for many years. His paintings from the 1950s and 1960s, when he was close friends with the AbEx group, are strong, raw, powerful, and elegant.
I was excited to hear about an upcoming exhibition of 14 new paintings by Soulages, who is now 94, and a group of his postwar works at Dominique Lévy in New York. The show will be a collaboration with Galerie Perrotin, which shares the same building at 909 Madison Avenue. The exhibition will open on April 24th.
Other Soulages news: the Musée Soulages will open in late May in Rodez, France, the artist's birthplace, and a new book, Soulages in America, will be distributed by D.A.P.
