Jean Paul Riopelle was a Canadian painter known for his textured abstract works, characterized by thick, layered applications of paint. A prominent figure in the post-World War II abstract art movement, Riopelle was associated with the Automatistes, a group of Quebec artists influenced by Surrealism. He later became connected with the Abstract Expressionists. 🎨: Jean Paul Riopelle, "The Hour of Sulfur," 1953. © 2024 Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / SODRAC, Montreal.

Josef Albers's "Variant/Adobe" series (1947-58), though not as widely recognized as his "Homage to the Square", explores the relationship between color and form, laying the groundwork for his later studies in color theory. Inspired by the architecture of Mexican adobe houses, Albers captures the vibrant energy of orange within a minimalist, grid-based composition. Learn more: https://gu.gg/4ciDo64

Senga Nengudi's "Water Composition" series, created in the early 1970s, explores the intersection of sculpture and performance. These works consist of delicate, transparent vinyl tubes filled with colored water, which Nengudi manipulated to create organic, fluid forms evoking the vulnerabilities of the human body. In 2021, we acquired "Water Composition I", now on view in "By Way Of: Material and Motion in the Guggenheim Collection": https://gu.gg/3PzKIAI ___ Pictured: Senga Nengudi, "Water Composition I," 1970/2019.
