Geometries On and Off the Grid: Art from 1950 to the Present

Geometries On and Off the Grid: Art from 1950 to the Present examines geometry in the art of the postwar period and its evolution from an increasingly reductivist language in the 1950s and 60s to one that was re-envisioned in the 1960s and 70s as a means of reincorporating the figure and representations of identity into vanguard art. This history, which has been principally told from an American perspective, is further explored in the texts by Allan Schwartzman, exhibition curator and Director of the Rachofsky Collection, and Gavin Delahunty, Hoffman Family Senior Curator of Contemporary Art at the Dallas Museum of Art, by proposing at times unorthodox lineages and combining works from cultures that are not commonly displayed side by side.
