Edward Avedisian (American, 1936 - 2007) Cactus flowers

COMING IN SEPTEMBER An artist who mixed the hot colors of Pop Art with the cool, more analytical qualities of Color Field painting, Edward Avedisian (1936-2007) was among the leading figures to emerge in the New York art world in the 1960s. Along with his contemporaries, Avedisian was instrumental in the exploration of new abstract methods to explore the primacy of optical experience, breaking from the tactility of Abstract Expressionism. He was included in the landmark exhibitions, “Op Art: The Responsive Eye,” held at the Museum of Modern Art in 1965, and Expo 67, held in Montreal. He showed at the prominent Hansa (1958-59) and Elkon (1960-75) galleries and participated in four annuals at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Through the early 1970s, works such as these “seedlike orbs” and “stripes with splashes” were prominently featured in Artforum (including the magazine’s cover in January 1969), Artnews, and Arts magazines.

SOLO EXHIBITION. Edward Avedisian was included in Whitney Museum annuals in 1963 and 1965 as well as “Young America” in 1965. That same year, this new direction in art was given recognition by the Museum of Modern Art in its exhibition, “The Responsive Eye.” Avedisian was among the artists included in the show that curator William Seitz stated consisted of works that “exist less as objects to be examined than as generators of perceptual responses in the eye and mind of the viewer.” Art Critic John Canaday observed that the exhibition presented art that left behind the “sloppiness” that had previously marked avant-garde in favor of “art forms that demand technical perfection as an integral part of expression.” Berry Campbell will host its second solo exhibition of Avedisian’s work in April 2020.
