Celebrating the life and work of Will Barnet (1911–2012) on his birthday.

Born in coastal Beverly, Massachusetts, Barnet drew lifelong inspiration from the light and atmosphere of New England—and from the old masters, Vermeer chief among them. Across a nine-decade career, he moved from early social realism through total abstraction and into the spacious, geometric figural work he's best known for: pensive portraits and quiet scenes of family life, structured with the rigor of Egyptian relief and softened by intimate detail.

"We must realize that the quadrangle on which we draw or paint has basic dimensions and movements," he wrote. "The artist builds with the horizontal and vertical within the quadrangle's architecture."

A devoted printmaker and a teacher at the Art Students League, Cooper Union, and Yale, Barnet was a member of the National Academy of Design and the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and a recipient of the National Medal of Arts in 2011. He painted until his death in 2012.

More Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art as their fifteen anniversary approaches.

Neil Welliver’s monumental 96” SNOW ON ALDEN BROOK, acquired by the museum long ago from the then Newsweek Collection, assembled by Katharine Graham.

SNOW ON ALDEN BROOK’s scale immerses us in a likeness of the natural world that Neil Welliver came to live while living in Maine and transports us to a fondly remembered moment. Seem from a distance, the falling snow provides a gentle, atmospheric haze to his forest - a little movement in otherwise dormant woods. Viewed up close, each speck of snow appears static, deliberate and meticulously applied. (CBMAA).

In early June Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art will celebrate its 15th anniversary and the opening of its newly expanded galleries - designed fifteen years later by the original architect, Moshe Sadie. We look forward to experiencing again the spectacular light-filled galleries set in a natural ravine and surrounded by walking and bicycling trails and outdoor sculpture.

Our heartfelt congratulations are extended to Alice L. Walton, whose vision has been truly realized beyond most imaginations and which has transformed the arts in the region - and in the country. Transformative, indeed.

In this re-installation, we so enjoy seeing our beloved Tom Uttech’s monumental 2009 painting ENASSAMISHHINJIJWEIAN along side two O’Keeffes and one by Helen Torr, Arthur Dove’s wife. (Dove is also represented beautifully with paintings from our gallery.)

Uttech imbues his grand-scale landscape paintings with a sense of mystery and awe. Sitting among a horde of forest creatures - all hurriedly moving across the picture plane from right to left - is a small, seated bear looking across the water. Black bears are a recurring subject in Uttech’s work and often acknowledge a human presence - sitting on for the artist or viewer in awe of the car natural beauty pictured.

HERE: Tom Uttech (b. 1942), ENASSAMISHHINJIJWEIAN, 2009, oil on linen with artist’s frame, 103 x 112 inches. Uttech’s titles are inspired by the Ojibwe language of his native Wisconsin and roughly translates “hope of good things to come.”

Thanks to all who came out for Tessa Greene O’Brien’s openings this week of her new show POEMS FROM HERE, which is presented over two galleries - ours and Candice Madey at 1 Rivington. It was so wonderful to feel the good energy, excitement and warmth for Tessa and her beautiful paintings.

Please visit us:
Alexandre at 25 East 73rd, New York 10021
Candice Madey at 1 Rivington, New York 10002

What distinguishes O’Brien’s work is its ability to hold together seemingly divergent traditions. Modernist inquiries into material conditions of painting coexist with the intimate histories of domestic textile craft. Personal memory intersects with ecological awareness. Representation flickers in and out of abstraction. The canvas is at once image and object, landscape and fabric. — Annabel Keenan

On this day, April 22, we wish our beloved Lois Dodd a Happy Birthday - 99 years! We thank her for twenty-five wonderful years of working together with our gallery. We honor her steadfast vision and commitment to her art, her generosity of spirit, her simplicity of daily life, which reminds us all, always, of the essentials. A touchstone for all who share time with her.

Still celebrating two shows, each closed within the past month - one close to home at Brooklyn College, where Lois taught for more than twenty years. And her largest to date, a retrospective at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag. Catalogues from both remain available on the gallery site: alexandregallery.com. Also, among milestones this year for Lois - the purchase acquisition of an iconic architectural interior painting by The Met. Our sincere thanks to all who have supported Lois and her painting, and helped us bring her vision to broader audiences.

HERE: Some pics from the past year.

All comments will be shared with Lo.

Join us Thursday for the opening of TESSA GREENE O’BRIEN: POEMS FROM HERE, the artist’s first solo exhibition in New York.

Presented in a unified show unfolding across two galleries, ALEXANDRE and CANDICE MADEY will open with receptions for the artist this Thursday, the 23rd: 4 to 6 pm, Uptown at ALEXANDRE, and 6 to 8 pm, Downtown at CANDICE MADEY.

At the heart of O’Brien’s (b. 1982, Maine) activity is an expansive understanding of painting itself. She approaches the medium as an open field, where the only real limitations arise from self-imposed boundaries. Drawing inspiration from the Supports/Surfaces movement of the late 1960s and early 70s, color field painting, and folk modernism, O’Brien paints compositions that are at once atmospheric and grounded, where mood and structure hold equal weight. She paints what she sees and knows: the people, places, and environments to which she is intimately connected. This closeness grants the work an elasticity that enables her to move fluidly between attentive observation and experimental interpretation, where faithful renderings of light, topography, and detail coexist with looser gestures that register atmosphere, mood, and the emotional temperature of the moment.

The show will be accompanied by a new publication with essay by Annabel Keenan, available to order at the gallery website: alexandregallery.com

"Maine is in my DNA." In a preview by Laura Jacobs for , Tessa Greene O'Brien's first solo exhibition in New York is highlighted ahead of its opening across two galleries, Alexandre and Candice Madey.

O'Brien's paintings begin long before oil touches the surface: canvases stitched from fabric scraps, dyed, bleached, waxed, each step visible in the finished work. Her references range from the Supports/Surfaces movement to Andrew Wyeth, whose "honesty, integrity, and rigor" she has cited as foundational.

"Tessa Greene O'Brien: Poems From Here" opens April 23. Join us for a reception with the artist: 4 to 6 pm at Alexandre (25 E 73rd Street), 6 to 8 pm at Candice Madey (1 Rivington Street).

Last weekend - closing April 6th. LOIS DODD: FRAMING THE EPHEMERAL at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag. 230,000 visitors to the museum during the run. Catalogue sold out in Europe (but copies still available through the gallery). A triumph for Lois and all involved. Special thanks to the lenders, who parted with paintings and then all agreed to extend the loans. And to Margriet Schavemaker, Daniel Koep and Louise Henriksen in The Hague; to Gerrit Schreurs, who created the documentary film accompanying the show; and to Benno Tempel, now at the Kroller-Muller, who originated the idea for Lois’s largest show to date.

Thank you and so many others!
