Des Moines Art Center presents the works of Cecily Brown

On view August 4 – October 1, 2006

Note: An exhibition opening reception will be held at the Art Center on Thursday, August 3 from 6:30 – 8:30 pm. Cost is $5 (free for Art Center members).

DES MOINES, IOWA (July 2006) – The Des Moines Art Center will present the first United States museum survey exhibition of the work of painter Cecily Brown, August 4 – October 1, 2006. Organized by Art Center director Jeff Fleming, the exhibition will be comprised of 18 major canvases surveying Brown’s creative input from 1997 to the present.

Brown was born in 1969 in London and educated at London’s Slade School of Art. She now resides in New York and is considered a key figure in the strong resurgence of painting seen in the last decade. Brown reinvigorates 21 ^st century painting by excavating its past, with various references to art history—from the 17^th century French classicism of Nicolas Poussin to the Baroque flamboyance of Peter Paul Rubens, and the living gestures of Willem de Kooning, among other Abstract Expressionists.

“Through her painterly pictures, Brown brings the intersection of the past and present into sharp focus,” says Fleming. “Many contemporary painters respond to and borrow from their predecessors—indeed, it seems impossible not to—but few embrace the history of the medium in so celebratory a fashion as Cecily Brown.”

Often cast in sensual situations, Brown’s figures advance and recede into painterly abstraction. “While working alongside established painterly traditions and borrowing freely from them, she absorbs formerly male-dominated approaches to the medium and unapologetically infuses them with her own decidedly feminine viewpoint,” explains Fleming.

The Des Moines Art Center’s project will be accompanied by a substantial catalog with essays by Jeff Fleming; Linda Nochlin, author and critic; and Linda Norden, curator at the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University. Premiering at the Art Center in the summer of 2006, the exhibition will travel to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, October 17, 2006 to January 15, 2007. Funding for Cecily Brown is provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Joan Mitchell Foundation, and David Kruidenier. Media support is provided by Cityview.

Now until September 2nd

Pete Goché: nota/maculã and

Sabine Friesicke: Times of the Day

@ Karolyn Sherwood Gallery

This two-person exhibition offers alternate views of the clear esthetic of minimalism. Pete Goché, a sculptor and print maker, has created a series of elegant prints which reflect the sensual, two-dimensional nature of his hand-forged lead sculptures. The work of Sabine Friesicke, a painter from New York City, is based on the combination of intentional horizontal lines and random vertical drippings. Her loose, grid-like paintings are at once architectural and also fortuitous. Opening reception Thursday, July 27, 5 – 8pm. For info: 515-274-5600.
