Sam Gilliam: Watercolors

Since the early 1960s, Sam Gilliam has been creating richly colored abstract compositions using watercolors on Japanese washi paper. The watercolors featured in the exhibition extend the artist’s ongoing exploration of color and form into a palpable entity: a physical, textural presence that reaches beyond painting’s two-dimensional surface. This exhibition marks Gilliam’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, following a presentation of three new bodies of work at Pace in New York.
