Pierre Soulages: From Midnight to Twilight
14 September - 4 November 2023
Lévy Gorvy Dayan
19 East 64 Street
A major Pierre Soulages retrospective at Lévy Gorvy Dayan—featuring paintings on loan from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and more—honors the late artist (1919 - 2022) with an in-depth academic revisitation of his life and legacy, including the 1950s-60s New York art zeitgeist that fostered his early institutional rise and the revelatory Outrenoir (“beyond black”) series that would boldly define his oeuvre from 1979 until his death last year at age 102.
Commemorating the one-year anniversary of Soulages’ death last October, the exhibition is organized in collaboration with Soulages’ widow and partner of 80 years, Colette Soulages (b. 1919), and furthers Dominique Lévy’s and senior partner Emilio Steinberger’s decades-long advocacy of and personal friendship with Colette and Pierre Soulages. The presentation marks the first full-building dedication to a single artist in Lévy Gorvy Dayan’s new global flagship at 19 East 64 Street, a Beaux-Arts-style townhouse designed as an art gallery in the 1930s. — Read more in the press release linked here.
