Pb 22x26cm 90pp 61col ills 41.95

together for the first time. Using a historic framework as a way of looking forward, the show will
include works such as M Violet M (1965), a plywood relief with a painted monochromatic
surface, and First Paper Octagonal (1970), an irregularly shaped octagon cut from white paper
and affixed directly to the wall.

26 will include three of Tuttles galvanized tin lettersearly examples of the artists commitment
to languageas well as a wire piece, a notebook drawing, a textile work, a selection of wall-
bound assemblages, and other works that reveal the artists enduring focus of what he has
referred to as making something which looks like itself.

Keith Sonnier - Ebo River And Early Work

Pace Gallery NY 2017 ISBN 9781935410881 Acqn 27435
Pb 22x28cm 64pp 24col ills 31.50

In his vibrant new Ebo River series, engaging compositions reveal new aspects of Sonnier as a
colourist, with bold hues radiating from the lit neon tubes in complex harmonies. Flowing around
one another, they are composed together with convex mirrors and found industrial materials that
reflect, block or diffuse light, visually modifying their forms and the light cast from them. The Ebo
River series is inspired by a river in the Congo, known to the local people as the Legbala, with
works titled after towns and tributaries along the river. Sonniers interest in African art and culture
is long-standing, and dates to his time as a teaching assistant to Carroll Janis, who taught a
course on African art while he was an MFA student at Rutgers University.

Sonnier has been creating works with neon and other industrial materials for over forty-five years,
and can be said to have invented the use of neon light as a fine-art medium. A selection of
foundational works from 1968 to 1970 incorporating neon and incandescent light will be included
in the exhibition. Rather than creating closed sculptural masses, Sonnier composes open forms in
three-dimensional space. Two works from the Tesla series dating from the 1990s will also be
exhibited. Dedicated to visionary physicist Nikola Tesla, these sculptures feature live electricity
that arcs between copper rods and continues his experimental approach to using electricity as a
sculptural element.

Rothko - Dark Palette

Pace Gallery NY 2017 ISBN 9781935410874 Acqn 27436
Hb 26x30cm 60pp 25ills 23col 52.50

The Pace Gallery is honoured to present Rothko: Dark Palette, an exhibition tracing the history of
Mark Rothkos use of dark colours in his sectional paintings. The exhibition reveals the
development of Rothkos expressive use of colour from 1955 through the 1960s. Presented in
association with the Rothko family, Dark Palette will feature loans from museum collections
including the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The
National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; and Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond, and will
be accompanied by a hardcover book with writings by Mark Rothko, his son Christopher, and an
introduction by Arne Glimcher.

In a landmark untitled painting from 1955, which has never been shown in the United States,
Rothko begins his journey into the dark palette that will dominate his later years. Such milestones
include the Seagram Murals and Rothko Chapel commissions. Dark Palette will include one of
the paintings from the Seagram Mural series.

Julian Schnabel - New Plate Paintings

Pace Gallery NY 2017 ISBN 9781935410911 Acqn 27437
Hb 25x31cm 56pp 21col ills 52.50

In 1987, Schnabel published CVJ: Nicknames of Matre Ds and Other Experts from Life, which
included an excerpt from his notes from 1978 where he reflected on his thought process for his
first plate paintings: The plates seemed to have a sound, the sound of every violent human
tragedy, an anthropomorphic sense of things being smeared and thrownI wanted to make
something that was exploding as much as I wanted to make something that was cohesive. In
these paintings, the artist continues to use the plates, but rather than using them to disrupt the
picture plane, he incorporates each piece to create a homogeneous surface that recalls the
rhythms of nature.

The Pace Gallery is honoured to present Julian Schnabel: New Plate Paintings. Inspired by the
roses growing in the cemetery near Van Goghs grave in Auvers-sur-Oise, France.
