About This Work:<\/p>\n

In Ring Image B, Robert Mangold uses shape, line, and color to explore formal relationships. While this work may appear simple, it is rather a complex abstract work of architectural scale with thick and thin graphite lines.\u00a0 Mangold has drawn upon abstract minimalist forms in this curvilinear composition of a ring where he provokes the consideration of the idea of a painting without a center, which also reflects ancient pottery and formal studies by Renaissance masters.<\/p>\n

About Robert Mangold:<\/p>\n

\u201cRobert Mangold\u2019s paintings, are more complicated to describe than they seem, which is partly what\u2019s good about them: the way they invite intense scrutiny, which, in the nature of good art, is its own reward.\u201d \u00a0– Michael Kimmelmann, New York Times<\/p>\n

Robert Mangold is an American minimalist artist.\u00a0 His works are comprised often of simple elements which are put together through complex means.\u00a0 He renders the surface of each canvas with subtle color modulations and sinewy, hand drawn graphite lines. While his focus on formal considerations may seem paramount, he also delights in thwarting those considerations\u2014setting up problems for the viewer. Over the course of years and in multiple series of shaped canvases that explore variations on rings, columns, trapezoids, arches, and crosses, he has also provoked viewers to consider the idea of paintings without centers.<\/p>\n

Mangold’s work challenges the typical connotations of what a painting is or could be, and his works often appear as objects rather than images. Elements refer often to architectural elements or have the feeling of an architect’s hands.<\/p>\n

In 1967, he won a National Endowment for the Arts grant and in 1969, a Guggenheim Fellowship. In 1971, he had his first solo museum exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum. He has been featured in the Whitney Biennial four times, in 1979, 1983, 1985, and 2004.<\/p>\n

His work is in many museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Tate Collection in London.<\/p>\n
