The Picture || Vol. 12 || Less: Minimalism in the 1960s

The twelfth episode of "The Picture" podcast features a conversation recorded live at Acquavella Galleries in New York on the occasion of the new exhibition "less: minimalism in the 1960s." The exhibition’s curator, gallery director Michael Findlay, spoke with artist Katie Bell and Robert Slifkin, a Professor of Fine Arts at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University.

The exhibition features work from 19 artists, including Carl Andre, Larry Bell, Judy Chicago, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt and Eva Hesse, each of whom sought an enigmatic simplicity and clarity in their work, which collectively came to define minimalism in the 1960s.

Paired with the new exhibition "PICASSO: Seven Decades of Drawing," currently on view at Acquavella Galleries in New York, the conversation shines a light on Picasso’s passion for drawing, which served as the foundation of his practice across seven decades of stylistic development.

In the ninth episode of "The Picture" podcast, Jacob El Hanani speaks with writer Adam Kirsch about the artist's exhibition of recent works on canvas, now on view at Acquavella Galleries in New York.

Born in Casablanca and raised in Israel, he has lived and worked in the same SoHo studio for nearly 50 years. Guggenheim fellow Adam Kirsch previously served as poetry critic at The New Republic. His recent writings have been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, and Tablet, where he is a contributing editor.

The Picture || Vol. 8 || Tom Sachs, Naomi Fry

The eighth episode of "The Picture" podcast features a conversation between artist Tom Sachs and "New Yorker" staff writer Naomi Fry, recorded on a rainy Friday evening over mezcal at Sachs' studio in New York. The two friends spoke on the occasion of the new exhibition "Tom Sachs: Handmade Paintings" at Acquavella Galleries in New York. Although painting has long been a focus of his practice, this exhibition of conspicuously handmade work is the first to focus exclusively on Sachs' paintings. With an introduction from gallery director Philippe de Montebello, Tom and Naomi's conversation touches on Sachs’ love for the Simpsons, his early years re-creating Mondrian paintings with duct tape, and why, according to Sachs, "Creativity is the enemy." "Tom Sachs: Handmade Paintings" is on view November 5–December 18, 2020, at Acquavella Galleries. — Tom Sachs "Krusty O's" (2019) Synthetic polymer on canvas 72 x 72 inches (152.4 x 182.9 cm) © 2020 Acquavella Galleries.

The Picture || Vol. 7 || Joan Punyet Miró, Philippe de Montebello

In the seventh episode of "The Picture" podcast, gallery director Philippe de Montebello is joined by Joan Punyet Miró, grandson of Spanish master Joan Miró, whose solo exhibition "Miró the Sculptor: Elements of Nature" is currently on view at Acquavella Galleries in New York. Late in a storied career characterized by a lifelong love of experimentation, Joan Miró dedicated himself to sculpture and, in particular, the creation of hundreds of bronzes, 23 of which are on view at Acquavella. From 1966 until his death in 1983, Miró was unflagging in his aim to explore and redefine the medium of sculpture, telling his friend Alexander Calder at the age of 81: “I am an established painter but a young sculptor.” "Miró the Sculptor: Elements of Nature" is on view January 13 – February 29, 2020, at Acquavella Galleries: https://www.acquavellagalleries.com/exhibitions/miro-the-sculptor-elements-of-nature — Joan Miró and Joan Gardy Artigas in Gallifa, Barcelona, c. 1960; photograph by Francesc Català-Roca © Photographic Archive F.
