Atchugarry and Nevelson: Dialogue in Black and White

December 1, 2019 – March 30, 2020

The Fundación Pablo Atchugarry presents Dialogue in Black and White, a dual exhibition of work by Post War artist Louise Nevelson and the sculptor Pablo Atchugarry. The artists contrasting their sculptural works from the 20th century and share a discourse of form, free of color . Dialogue in Black and White offers a selection of sculptures from both artists that are entirely in Black and White. As the title implies, the show presents the resemblance and contrast in the artists’ respective work. Born half a century before Atchugarry, Nevelson’s work is a product of her time and the influences of movements that preceded her. Naturally, Atchugarry’s work is a descendent of the movements that precede him, which Nevelson is a part of. Collectively, these works juxtapose Post War/Modernist movements with contemporary practices. In addition to this juxtaposition, Dialogue in Black and White also reveals the shared formal qualities of these two artists, practicing many decades apart from each other. This exhibition ultimately unites the works of Nevelson and Atchugarry in their shared formal qualities, and allow the viewer to transcend the divisiveness of artistic movements in favor of a conversation mediated by sculpture.
