David Reed: Krefeld Miami New York / Häusler Contemporary Zürich

  • last year
Häusler Contemporary in Zürich just opened a new solo exhibition with works by the American painter David Reed. Titled “Krefeld Miami New York” the show features paintings that refer to the mentioned cities. The gallery presents works that David Reed created for exhibitions at Museum Haus Lange in Krefeld (Germany), Pérez Art Museum in Miami (USA), and which are inseparable linked to New York where he has lived and worked since 1970. The exhibition “David Reed: Krefeld Miami New York” runs until June 2, 2023.

David Reed is an American abstract painter who was born in San Diego, California, in 1946. He is known for his large-scale, gestural paintings that explore the possibilities of color and mark-making. Reed began his career in the 1970s, during the heyday of Minimalism and Conceptual Art, but he quickly developed his own style, which emphasized the physical act of painting and the expressive potential of abstraction.

Reed's work is characterized by its fluidity and dynamism, as well as its interest in the relationship between image and surface. His paintings often feature sinuous, calligraphic lines that seem to float across the canvas, creating a sense of movement and energy. Reed has exhibited extensively in the United States and Europe, and his work is included in the collections of many major museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
