Albright-Knox Members are invited to attend a Members’ Opening for the special exhibition Shade: Clyfford Still / Mark Bradford.
Shade: Clyfford Still / Mark Bradford features the work of celebrated American artists Mark Bradford (born 1961) and Clyfford Still (1904–1980). For the exhibition, Bradford has helped select more than twenty paintings from the Albright-Knox's important collection of works by Still. In adjacent galleries, Bradford presents a group of his own paintings—created specifically for this exhibition—that manifest an ongoing conversation with both Still’s abstractions and the broader legacy of Abstract Expressionism.
A free public opening of Shade: Clyfford Still / Mark Bradford will follow from 7 to 9 pm. At 7:15 pm, join us for Emerging Voices in Contemporary Art: Mark Bradford in Conversation with Cathleen Chaffee.
RSVP online, or contact 716.270.8247 or membership@albrightknox.org.
