Dia Art Foundation in Beacon, NY presents Walter De Maria’s Truck Trilogy in Dia:Beacon. Begun in 2011 and completed posthumously, the Truck Trilogy consists of three classic Chevrolet pickup trucks, which have been stripped of all extraneous elements and details. Placed vertically in the trucks’ flatbeds are circular, square, and triangular polished-stainless-steel rods. Similar to De Maria’s Bel Air Trilogy (2000–11), the Truck Trilogy juxtaposes the elegant lines of mid-century American industrial design with the geometric vocabulary that underscores more than fifty years of the artist’s practice. This installation is organized as part of a year of programming in celebration of Walter De Maria’s art, marking the fortieth anniversary of The Lightning Field, The New York Earth Room, and The Vertical Earth Kilometer, each commissioned by Dia and completed in 1977.
Support for the fabrication of Truck Trilogy was provided by Gagosian Gallery.

The Safe Harbors Ann Street Gallery is pleased to present Comic Art: Fantasy and Imagination.
This new exhibition highlights a selection of artists whose work examines a diverse array of comic styles and investigates how contemporary artists are appropriating the comic book medium, its imagery, and visual tropes into their work.
There is nothing new about the artistic appeal of comic art and its influence on the fine art world. In the 1960’s, Pop Art icon, Roy Lichtenstein, began incorporating the fundamental features of comics, such as the sequencing of words and images, to create his new and exciting work. The present day convergence of comics and fine art sees contemporary artists taking that same approach but moving towards the more visual side of comics, while employing techniques that owe more to art than to traditional comics.
The diversity of the works represented in this exhibit lies between the traditional and the innovative, providing unprecedented access to original art that explores the fantastical world of comics. Continue reading
