VIP Preview: Wednesday, October 9th
Miles McEnery Gallery will be featuring a solo presentation of Emily Mason works at the 2024 edition of Frieze Masters in London, Booth S19. The VIP Preview will be Wednesday, October 9th, and will remain on view until October 13th.
From the press release:
“This selection of paintings represents a holistic overview of Emily Mason’s singular approach to painting, developed over six decades of dedication to gestural abstraction and the phenomenology of color.
The earliest works on display are two oil paintings on paper, dated 1962 and 1964. During this period, Mason and her husband, Wolf Kahn, had just returned from Europe and taken up residence in his studio on Broadway with their two children. Despite many of the demands of domestic life falling to Mason, she remained prolific in her practice. Using a technique that she developed during her Fulbright in Venice (1957–59), Mason found painting on paper provided space to experiment freely alongside her canvases. On a practical level, their flexibility and quick drying times allowed her to roll or lay works out under her bed at the end of a session. Mason continued working on paper into the 1970s, trading the lighter Fabriano paper for a thicker Strathmore patent paper stock that allowed her to build up and remove as she did on her canvases.”
