2-TIMES • Art
Ed Clark,
‘Expanding the Image’
@ Hauser & Wirth
—
“I began to believe
that the real truth
is in the stroke.
For me, it is large,
bold strokes that
do not refer distinctly
to seen nature. The
paint is the subject.
The motions of the
strokes give the
work life.”
Born:
1926 – New Orleans,
Louisiana.
‘Expanding the Image’:
Is the gallery’s first
exhibition in Los
Angeles devoted to
the American artist,
featuring works
from his highly
formative years of
1960 through 1980;
two decades during
which Clark made
pivotal breakthroughs
that expanded the
language of abstraction.
‘This intimate
presentation finds
Clark solidifying a
signature style that
evolved from two
ground-breaking
techniques that he
pioneered in the late
1950s: the use of
a push broom to
handle paint, and
the invention of the
shaped canvas.’

· Silver stripes (c. 1970's)
· Integrated Oval #1 (1972)
