Not Just a Pretty Picture is Rhona Hoffman Gallery's final exhibition in their West Town space opening March 14th. This group show includes drawings, assemblage, sculpture, prints, and paintings by established artists Giovanni Anselmo, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, Gordon Matta-Clark, Sylvia Mangold, Martin Puryear, Edda Renouf, Richard Tuttle, Gunter Umberg, and Claire Zeisler. This exhibition displays Gallerist Rhona Hoffman's depth as a curator in its appreciation for the artist's exploration of materiality, process, concept, and inquiry into the human condition.
The artists manifest their investigations into philosophical states of being and formal queries in their respective practices. They engage, reveal, and offer experiences of existential dualities: simplicity and complexity; visible and invisible; humble and divine. Ranging from Anselmo's Verso Oltremare (Towards Overseas), a 500lb esoteric sculpture made of Italian piedmont granite, wire, and aquamarine paint to Tuttle's quizzical lure to gaze upon the ordinary with wonder. These works engage both the intellect and intuition with weighty integrity, beauty, and ephemeral calm.
On view through Saturday, April 26, 2025
