Now on view at LFFA: Hannelore Baron
November 29, 2012
An exhibition of collages and box constructions by Hannelore Baron (1926-1987), drawn from the artist's estate and an important private collection, is now on view at Leslie Feely Fine Art. Born in Dillingen, Germany, Baron's family escaped Nazi Germany in 1939, eventually settling in New York in 1941. A self-taught artist, Baron began creating small-scale strikingly personal works during the late 1950's, at first inspired by Abstract-Expressionism, and later by a variety of works which share a spiritual quality, including African sculpture, Tantric drawings, Christian Reliquaries, Native American art, and the art of ancient civilizations. Baron's works are represented in many American and European collections including the Museum of Modern Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Whitney Museum of American Art, Art Institute of Chicago, and Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This is the second exhibition of Hannelore Baron at Leslie Feely Fine Art. On view through February 9, 2013.

Frank Stella
The Retrospective Works 1958-2012
August 9, 2012
Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg hosts a Frank Stella retrospective through January 20, 2013. In part a celebration of the artist's 75th birthday, the show boasts drawings, sketches, and architectural models in addition to numerous large-scale works, and offers a unique viewing experience as well—Stella staged the exhibition himself, making the most of the museum's customizable, flexible wall system. This presentation attempts a comprehensive overview of Stella's influential career thus far, and—for the first time—a broader contextualization of that work beyond the boundaries of modernism.

Richard Diebenkorn: The Ocean Park Series
June 15, 2012
This retrospective of Diebenkorn's most celebrated and largest body of work opened September 2011 at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth before traveling to the Orange County Museum of Art. It soon commences its third and final stop at Washington D.C.'s Corcoran Gallery of Art, where it will run from June 30-September 23, 2012.
The exhibition showcases more than 80 paintings, prints, and drawings spanning the two decades Diebenkorn dedicated to this series. Representing a stylistic transformation from his previous figurative practice to monumental geometric abstractions, these pieces capture a sense of the Ocean Park community of Southern California where the artist created them between 1967 and 1988. The show highlights the previously unrecognized depth of the Ocean Park works, offering an unprecedented demonstration of Diebenkorn's artistic evolution and experimentation within this series.

GEHRY AT ART BASEL
December 1, 2011
Frank Gehry was the buzz at Leslie Feely Fine Art. The superstar architect, whose design for the New World Center on Miami Beach in January was the first arts highlight of 2011, is famous for the models he makes of works in progress -- but they’ve never been for sale.
Feely brought 15 of them to Basel -- priced from $25,000 to $120,000 -- and several were already gone Thursday afternoon, and multiple reserve bids for others.
Four years ago, Feely held a gallery show of museum models by Gehry, who is a friend. "He’s very attached to the models," she said. "’He said, ’You can’t sell any of them.’" But thinking about his family’s long-term ability to conserve such a extensive collection has swayed him, said Feely, chatting with Susan Kronick and Edward Shumsky, who met the architect during construction of New World Center and vouched for the size of Gehry’s "archive."
Gehry is expected to be in town for the show on Friday. "Miami is a place he’s very comfortable in," Feely said.

Richard Diebenkorn in Context: 1949-1952 at Leslie Feely Fine Art
May 1, 2010
NEW YORK, NY Leslie Feely Fine Art is presenting an exhibition of paintings, drawings and sculpture from Richard Diebenkorn’s Albuquerque period. In this precise and jewel-like exhibition, important Diebenkorns from the artist’s estate are seen with examples from his contemporaries which include de Kooning, Gorky, Gottlieb, Guston, Motherwell, and Smith. In addition to a very rare sculpture, the show features paintings and a number of seminal works on paper, several of which have never been exhibited. Other included works were previously shown in the Museum of Modern Art exhibition, The Drawings of Richard Diebenkorn, and the Whitney Museum’s historic Diebenkorn retrospective, The Art of Richard Diebenkorn. Diebenkorn is frequently placed critically alongside rather than among New York-based artists of comparable stature. Richard Diebenkorn in Context: 1949 - 1952 attempts to refine that perception. The works he created during this time show an immediate and masterful response to the most experimental work of the time and the degree to which those works informed his own development.

(January 10, 2008)—Before the Buildings
January 10, 2008
Daniel Kunitz reflects on the singularity of Gehry's models, discovering that they surpass his typical expectations that architectural models are ill-suited to gallery display.
Instead, Kunitz finds this exhibition to not only shed light on Gehry's mental processes and working practices, but also to enhance viewer's understanding of Gehry as a sculptural architect.
