Works on Paper: From Marin to Mehretu

May 8, 2008—July 5, 2008

CHICAGO, Illinois—This Spring, KN Gallery is pleased to present a selection of exceptional works by modern and contemporary American masters with a special focus on works on paper, from early twentieth-century modernist John Marin to twenty-first century contemporary phenom Julie Mehretu.  Works on paper—be they watercolor paintings, ink drawings, crayon compositions, or collage combines—often reflect an artist’s experimental vision and exploration of new ideas as seen in Hans Hofmann’s Provincetown ink drawings and crayons. They also convey an artist’s most refined vision and complete visual idea as seen in the watercolors of John Marin, who employed the medium of watercolor as his primary and preferred method of artistic expression. Works on Paper: From Marin to Mehretu features a variety of artists including Adolph Gottlieb, Franz Kline, Jim Dine, Wayne Thiebaud, Keith Haring, and the Zhou Brothers. KN Gallery’s exhibition of works on paper will be on view from 8 May–5 July.
