Stephen Pace

8 September - 8 October 2016
Berry Campbell is pleased to present an exhibition of Abstract Expressionist paintings (1950-62)—some previously never exhibited—by Stephen Pace (1918-2010). Pace is well known for two bodies of work: the dynamic abstract paintings he produced from 1949 to 1962 and the freely expressed figurative art, based in abstract principles that he created subsequently. This exhibition features the former, shedding light on the exploratory and inventive work Pace created in the context of the New York art scene in the postwar period, a time when artists drew from the intellectual art movements of Europe while exploring new directions that redefined visual thinking. Stephen Pace: Abstract Expressionist opens Thursday, September 8, 2016 and runs through October 8, 2016 with an opening reception on Thursday, September 8 from 6 to 8pm.
