Gerald Peters Gallery, New York, opened its 2019 season with an exciting installation at The Winter Show at the Park Avenue Armory, which showcased works by a number of the gallery’s contemporary artists – Karen LaMonte, Harvey Dinnerstein, Logan Maxwell Hagege, and Gary Erbe – alongside works by American modernist painters and sculptors. The booth included a section dedicated to the ethereal sculptures of Karen LaMonte that captivated The Winter Show’s audience – collectors, museums, dealers, and the press alike.

The gallery’s winter-spring season begins with a ground-floor exhibition of new work by Clarice Smith. Winter Escape, on view through March 22nd, presents a selection of works by this renowned painter – paintings of blossoms, flowering trees, boating scenes on the French Riviera, and summer sunsets in New Mexico.

These lush luminous paintings evoke the warmth Clarice Smith (b. 1933), Peaches, 1993, oil on canvas, 24 x 25 inches and colors and the anticipation of Summer. Smith has been painting professionally for over 40 years and has had numerous solo exhibitions in prestigious galleries in the United States and abroad, including London, Paris, Zurich, Maastricht, and Jerusalem, with paintings in numerous museum collections. Her paintings can be described as both optically real and occasionally impressionistic in subject, embracing still life, portraiture, genre, and flowers. Of her work Smith has said, “I paint the world I live in, the things I know. I’m not making political statements. I aspire to the paintings of Degas, Sargent and Ingres.”

Harold Weston (1894-1972), Gothics Mountain, Autumn, 1922, oil on canvas, 16 x 18 inches

Gary Erbe (b. 1944), Western Album, 2015, oil on canvas, 52 x 69 inches

Opening in April, The Painted Environment: Landscapes and Still Lifes by Harold Weston will shift focus to the first half of the twentieth century with a look at the paintings from the Adirondacks and further afield that define the career of this American modernist painter. The gallery will close out its spring season with a major monographic exhibition of the work of trompe l’oeil painter Gary Erbe. Erbe’s work combines flat space with forms that are exaggerated and enhanced by shadow, light, and color. The result is pure three-dimensional illusion. While there are and will always be elements of Trompe l’oeil in his work, he has less of an interest in fooling the eye in favor of stimulating the mind.

Imprints of Home is a collaborative work of original prints and poems created during 2014 in Albuquerque, NM

by Esther Feske, Dale Harris, Christine Herman, Frank Melcori, Trish Meyer, Carrol Mox-ham, Margy O'Brien, Kent Swanson and Mary Sweet.

SPEAKING TO THE IMAGINATION: THE CONTEMPORARY ARTIST’S BOOK June 21 - August 24, 2019 Opening Reception: Friday, June 21st, 5-7pm Peters Projects, of Santa Fe, is pleased to present, Speaking to the Imagination: The Contemporary Artist’s Book, opening on Friday, June 21st, 5-7 p.m. This is a unique exhibit of handmade artist’s books and works on paper from local, national and internationally known artists and writers.

The exhibit will feature works that not only reflect a compelling artistic vision and style on paper with a unique and symbiotic collaboration with words, but distinctive book artistry as well. The very idea, definition and usage of the object “book” and its alternatives will be challenged and expressed in revealing new forms. Some are epic and stirring, some freestanding, some folios, some may be reconfigured or exaggerate an accordion like presence; some will fit like loose paper in their own boxes in limited edition; one or two will be reassuring in their enormity, some incisively petite and condensed.

The thing they have in common is their lack of similarity, except for the love of words and art and the ingenious methods by which they’re released into the world.

As Anne Evenhaugen of the Smithsonian Libraries has written, “What truly makes an artist’s book is the artist’s intent, and artists have used the book as inspiration in a myriad of ways and techniques, from traditional to the experimental . . . artists used the book format to create narratives to deal with difficult or emotional issues, and some used it as a cheap, portable way to make the artwork available to a broader public than the gallery and museum world allowed.”

The exhibit will feature work by poets and artists: Jim Dine, Dale Harris, Helen Hiebert, Carol Mothner, Miriam and Isabel Sagan, Kent Rush, Leon Loughridge, Vicki Bolen, Janet Glovinsky, Richard Wolfson and others.

TRAVELS: KANEKO A known homebody, Jun Kaneko who has achieved international acclaim for his monumental ceramics is most happy when he is at work in the studio. Spanning multiple warehouses in downtown Omaha, Nebraska the studio complex amounts to 400,000 sq. ft. Full of visual wonder – a glazing room, painting studio, two enormous kilns and a spectacular private collection fill these otherwise seemingly ordinary buildings.

This past winter, director, Evan Feldman, had the opportunity to visit Jun at the studio. Working closely with studio manager, Troia Schonlau, Evan got a sneak peak of © Jun Kaneko Studio LLC, 2019

newly fired works, drying dangos and recent arrivals from Jun’s work in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

What a tremendous experience! A constant innovator, Jun continues to push the boundaries of ceramics, the results of which bring both surprise and delight to the viewer.

Please join us this summer as we celebrate Jun with an exhibition of new works, August 23 - October 26, 2019.

GERALD PETERS GALLERY, SANTA FE THE WILD BUNCH: BOOK SIGNING & DISCUSSION On the 50th Anniversary of The Wild Bunch, the Gerald Peters Gallery is pleased to host author W.K. Stratton, who will discuss and sign his new book, THE WILD BUNCH: Sam Peckinpah, a Revolution in Hollywood, and the Making of a Legendary Film.

Saturday, May 11, at 1pm GERALD PETERS GALLERY, Santa Fe Free and Open to the Public Film Screening of The Wild Bunch, with an introduction by W.K. Stratton and Q+A with award winning novelist, David Morrell Saturday, May 11, at 4pm THE SCREEN at the campus of the former Santa Fe University of Art and Design Sam Peckinpah’s film is the story of a gang of outlaws that is one big steal from retirement. When their attempted border bank robbery goes awry, the outlaws flee to Mexico and fall in with a brutal general of the Mexican Revolution, who offers them the heist of a lifetime. Conceived by a stuntman, directed by a blacklisted director, and shot in the sand and heat of the Mexican desert, the movie seemed doomed. Instead, it became an instant classic with a dark, violent take on the Western movie tradition.

W.K. Stratton tells the fascinating history of the making of the movie and documents for the first time the extraordinary contribution of Mexican and Mexican-American actors and crew members to the movie’s success. Shaped by infamous director Sam Peckinpah, and starring such legendary actors as William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Edmond O’Brien, and Robert Ryan, the movie was also the product of an industry and a nation in transition. In 1969, The Wild Bunch spoke to America in its moment, when war and senseless violence seemed to define both domestic and international life.

About the author: W.K. Stratton is the author of five books of nonfiction and three books of poetry. He has written for Sports Illustrated, Outside, GQ, and Texas Monthly and was named a Fellow of the Texas Institute of Letters in 2017. He is a longtime resident of Austin, Texas.

PETERS PROJECTS

petersprojects.com as 2-meter-long saw blades, axes, chisels, and Scotcheyed augers an understanding of nature and mass that overwhelmed the viewer with both scale and volume. Very Distant Sites is an exhibition of new works by Bell that carry the same personal information but has changed the materials to only steel rod, stainless steel rod, wire mesh and binding wire. Bell has created “line drawing in space” using the same volume of mass as her earlier sculptures but with a completely different experience of traveling lines. The material choice charges a reactive eye as you follow the metal rods moving in vivacious strokes, suddenly stopping and then twisting around. Also on view are recent paintings carrying the same information of time and space but with a color usage that pays homage to the artists 77 years in the arts.

SPRING EXHIBITION SCHEDULE: MARCH 29 – JUNE 8 VISCERAL CLAY: LOOK DON’T TOUCH Peters Projects Director Mark Del Vecchio has curated VISCERAL CLAY: look don’t touch, an exhibition of sculpture by six international artists working in clay. Del Vecchio joined the gallery in 2016 as Director and Curator, bringing his expertise of Ceramic Art to the exhibition roster. Del Vecchio has reached out to six artists selected for their immediate visceral edge - something you feel in the pit of your stomach, defying the intellect and leaving you with an emotional reaction. “Ceramics are ubiquitous in the Art World today” states Del Vecchio. “Artists are creating unique and curious works beyond the usual thought of what ceramics can be.

Materials have evolved, processes have changed and in the hands of contemporary artists, new works are born every day. This exhibition gives the viewer unexpected sensations as the eye drift across the sculptures, catching on their surfaces, colors and shapes. The organic and amorphic qualities in all these works speak to you only on their terms, with no place to escape.” Artists in the exhibition are AnneMarie Laureys and King Houndekpinkou from France, Aneta Regal from Poland, and Americans: The Haas Brothers, Tony Marsh and Hank Saxe.

VICTORIA BELL: VERY DISTANT SITES A career spanning 5 decades, Chicago born Bell continues to explore her personal language of line, space and mass.

Previous exhibitions at the gallery have included her massive steel and wood sculptures fashioned with hand tools, such

JOEL HOBBIE: INTERSTITIAL Hobbies’ 2017 and 2018 exhibitions at PETERS PROJECTS brought a unique and powerful voice to the gallery, changing the perception of space and engagement.

Evolving technologies merge with Hobbies’ artistic thought process to create an interactive experience that places the viewer at the center of mechanical and organic polarities.

Hobbie explains, “Interstitial fuses the spaces of cosmic and microscopic worlds together in an environment where the viewer becomes the catalyst in the joining of spaces together. The space between the event horizon and the singularity of a black hole. The space between on and off.

The space between the neurons in our brains.” The exhibition will consist of seven new works created this past year and held back from viewing specifically for this exhibition. Far more advanced both technically and conceptually, Hobbie has brought a mechanical world all his own that has to be experienced to be understood.

DIRK BAKKER: READING H20 THE GRAMMAR OF WAVES Dutch artist Dirk Bakker has had a long and extensive career since leaving his position as Director of Photography at the Detroit Institute of Arts and changing his terrain to Mexico.

His current series of photography deals with the essential need of man, water, capturing bodies of this life-force in sensuous and thrilling color photographs taken over a five year period on various continents. “I decided to attempt to find structure in this perceived restlessness” states Bakker “and waded into the surf with a camera and found a water solidifying method, diminishing its formlessness by dissolving its scale.”
