Tilton Gallery is
pleased to present Big Bang, a retrospective exhibition of paintings by
Edward Clark. This is the first gallery exhibition of the artist’s work in New
York since 2006 and the title says it all: Clark's paintings are an explosion
of energy, light and color.
Born in New Orleans,
Clark is one of the most prominent African American Abstract Expressionists and
is acknowledged as the first artist to create shaped canvases. He studied at
the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1947-51) and L'Academie de la
Grande Chaumiere (1952) in Paris.
Clark's work is in
numerous museum collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the
Detroit Institute of Arts, the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York and the John
& Mable Ringling Museum, Sarasota, Florida. He is the recipient of many
awards including the Joan Mitchell Foundation Award (1998), and the Legends and
Legacy Award from the Art Institute of Chicago (2013).
