On February 27th, 2018, Menconi + Schoelkopf presents the second of a two-part exhibition of a century of American art on paper. The second half encompasses work from the Armory show to the middle of the twentieth century, chronicling the development of modernism through the early 1960s. Some twenty works of watercolor, pastel, oil, and acrylic—all on paper—will demonstrate the expansive role the support played, from artists of the Stieglitz Circle like Oscar Bluemner and Arthur Dove, through high modernists Milton Avery and Stuart Davis. The show goes on view simultaneously at the gallery, with masterpieces on view at the ADAA Art Show at the Park Avenue Armory, which runs through March 4th. The show continues at the gallery through March 16th, accompanied by a richly illustrated catalogue, with essay by Dr. Judith A. Barter.
