Opening Reception Wednesday, November 13, 6–8 PM

Reposted from @davidzwirner: Noah Davis: Ancient Reign opens Wednesday, November 13, at our 69th Street gallery.

Curated by Davis’s widow, the artist @KaronDavis, this exhibition presents a selection of works on paper, providing insight into the wide-ranging interests, influences, and ideas that informed his paintings and curatorial activities. This marks the first presentation to focus on this significant and generative area of Davis’s practice.

A small selection of paintings will also be on view, further elucidating the back-and-forth between media inherent to Davis’s body of work.

A major institutional survey of the artist’s work is currently on view at @DASMINSK Kunsthaus in Potsdam and will travel to the @BarbicanCentre in London and the @Hammer_Museum in Los Angeles. Davis’s work will also be on view in the group show Flight into Egypt: Black Artists and Ancient Egypt, 1876–Now, opening November 17 at @MetMuseum.

I am so grateful to the @davidzwirner family and team for holding my hand during this process. Hope to see you there. With love 💜Karon

NOAH DAVIS : exceptional works

Un artista coraggioso, morto troppo giovane, ma tuttavia capace di lasciare un segno del suo percorso nell’innovativo Museo Underground da lui fondato con la moglie a Los Angeles.

Davis, Noah(Seattle, 1983).

 Destaca por su trabajo en el ámbito de la instalación y la pintura. Buscaba luchar contra los estereotipos y las imagenes que solo muestran a la gente negra dentro de un contexto de drogas y conflicto. El muestra la realidad y la cotidianeidad del día a día que generalmente no es el marco que rodea a estos protagonistas. Es un estilo surrealista y aunque cotidiano y nostálgico, a veces puede resultar grotesco.
