NEWS – THE OUT OF TOWNERS
Judith Stein curates Deadeye Dick: Richard Bellamy and His Circle, Sept. 12 – Oct. 28, 2017, at Peter Freeman, Inc., New York. We told you about Judith Stein’s marvelous book about Dick Bellamy, the under-known NY gallerist whose great eye and risk-taking shows with then-unknown artist made him legendary in his own time. Somehow the story got lost but has been told beautifully in Stein’s anecdote- and gossip-heavy, footnote-packed book. Such a great read – don’t miss it. Read the Artblog book review from 2016.
Peter Freeman, Inc. is pleased to present an ambitious group exhibition dedicated to gallerist Richard Bellamy (1927-1998) and the circle of artists whose careers he launched and fostered. On view will be work from the 1950s through the 1990s by more than thirty artists, among them Jo Baer, Dan Flavin, Jean Follett, Michael Heizer, Donald Judd, Yayoi Kusama, Robert Morris, Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist, Mark di Suvero, and Tom Wesselmann. We expect this focus on Bellamy and his artists will bring important new insights into a history of taste that is still quite relevant.
A reception will be held Tuesday, 12 September from 6 to 8 pm.
Curated by Judith Stein, author of the recently-published Bellamy biography, Eye of the Sixties, this will be the first exhibition to explore the essential but little-known efforts of this visionary whose personal choices profoundly shaped the history of contemporary art.

Alexander Rosenberg and collaborators’ project, Carried on Both Sides, is streaming on Art 21! Plus his upcoming Monument Lab project. Alexander, a glass artist, collaborated with Caroline Woolard, Helen Lee and Lika Volkova on “Carried on Both Sides,” and the artists spoke about their project at the Met Museum in late July. Now, there is a PBS Art 21 short feature! About his Monument Lab project, Imperfect Square, Alexander says:
…My site specific project Imperfect Square will be on view in Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia in mid September. The work is part of an enormous multi-artist city-wide project, Monument Lab, curated by Paul Farber and Ken Lum. The opening will be on September 16th but most of the work will be visible through November 19th and includes new works from a long list of wonderful artists throughout the city of Philadelphia.
