Garvey Rita Art & Antiques, in collaboration with James S. Jaffe Rare Books, will be presenting a selection of paintings by Nobel Laureate Louise Glück (1943-2023). A catalog with an essay by noted critic/poet John Yau will be available...The exhibition, Indelible FIngerprints: The Art of Louise Gluck, will be held at Steven Harvey FIne Art Projects in NYC and will run from October 20- November 30.
John Yau observes that "In her poems, Glück found a way to express grief as a subject that was not confined to her. She recognized that her experiences, however devastating, made her human and not special. Death came to everyone. She did not become a painter, but art left its indelible fingerprints on her work, from her use of words such as “cerulean” and “incarnadine” to her authoring of a nameless landscape painter trying to make sense of the world in the face of death and chaos.
