St. Sebastian: 1530 to 2011
January 2-February 25

Edelman Arts is proud to announce the opening of “St. Sebastian: 1530 to 2011.” This provocative exhibition explores the evolving interpretation of St. Sebastian from the Renaissance to the present. St. Sebastian is a figure well-established in the visual canon since the early Renaissance as the bound, sensuously semi-nude figure impaled with Roman arrows. Our exhibition will be anchored by Titian's portrait from c. 1530, a striking illustration of the artist's virtuosic abilities to work with light and color to infuse St. Sebastian with life and emotion. In direct view of Titian's masterpiece will be contemporary depictions of St. Sebastian by Doug Argue, Carlos Betancourt, Britt Boutros Ghali, Yves de Bradander, Macia Grostein, Red Grooms, Elisa Jensen, Cynthia Karalla, Cathy McClure, Michael Murphy, Louise Nevelson, Eric Rhein, and Christopher Winter.

The Study of Kabakov
October 18-December 23, 2011

Ilya Kabakov is recognized as the most important Russian artist to have emerged in the late 20th century. His work speaks as much about conditions in post-Stalinist Russia as they do about the human condition universally. Edelman Arts is thrilled to announce The Study of Kabakov, a survey of works on paper from 1960 -1985 by Ilya Kabakov, renowned for his large-scale public installations with his partner Emilia Kabakov. The exhibition marks the first time that these foundational works have been exhibited in the United States and provides insight into both the artist's sense of humor, profundity and purpose. Three albums from the 10 Characters series and a comprehensive reference library will allow for an in-depth study of Kabakov's complex conceptual world. The exhibition opens Tuesday, October 18 and runs through December 23.

Opening October 30, 2008

Spook-a-rama, a series of eerie, darkly comic works by the Berlin-based artist, Christopher Winter, opens at Edelman Arts on October 30 with a séance.

These conversations with writers and poets who also drew for him inspired my own Holbein Table.”
