Web Author Description John Elderfield, a Consultant at Gagosian Gallery, is Chief Curator Emeritus of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art, where he directed numerous celebrated exhibitions, among them Kurt Schwitters, Henri Matisse: A Retrospective, and De Kooning: A Retrospective, and the more specialized Manet and the Execution of Maximilian and Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913–1917. He is the recipient of Harkness and John Simon Guggenheim Fellowships; of the first Mitchell Prize for an outstanding publication on twentieth-century art; and has been a visiting scholar at the Getty Research Institute and the American Academy in Rome. In 2005, Time magazine named him one of the 100 Most Influential People of the Year; and in 2006 was awarded an honorary D. Litt. from The University of Leeds, and was made Officier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Government.

Peter Galassi retired from The Museum of Modern Art in 2011 after thirty years at the museum, including twenty as Chief Curator of Photography. He has devoted exhibitions and publications to the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Roy DeCarava, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Walker Evans, Lee Friedlander, Andreas Gursky, Alexander Rodchenko, Cindy Sherman, and Jeff Wall, among others. He is the recipient of the ICP Infinity Award for excellence in writing, the Eric Mitchell Prize, and a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in 2012, to support a study about the role of the vernacular in photographic modernism. Other recent projects include Robert Frank in America, an exhibition that opened in September 2014 at the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University.
webLongDescription The space in which art is made has proved fascinating to both artists and viewers since the Renaissance. In the Studio: Paintings and In the Studio: Photographs, published on the occasion of two companion exhibitions at Gagosian Gallery in New York, offer an unprecedented exploration of the image of the artist’s studio in painting and photography.

In the Studio: Paintings, by the exhibition’s curator John Elderfield, summarizes the early variations of the theme and elaborates its principal modern and postwar developments. Over fifty paintings and works on paper, ranging in date from the mid-sixteenth to the late twentieth centuries, are illustrated and discussed individually. The works are grouped thematically rather than chronologically, offering an opportunity to make connections among works dealing with studio imagery made several centuries apart.

Rather than surveying photographs that are primarily documents of artists in their studios, In the Studio: Photographs, by the exhibition’s curator Peter Galassi, focuses on works where the principal interest lies in the making of the photograph itself. Concentrating on three themes, Galassi presents unexpected and sometimes provocative images that challenge and expand our notions of how and where art is made. These themes are: the studio as an arena for pose and persona; the studio as total aesthetic environment; and the studio as a site for accumulating and displaying images.

The exhibitions run from February 17 – April 18, 2015 at Gagosian Gallery’s New York locations.
