Back to Al Held | About Space at White Cube
About
Statement
White Cube presents ‘Al Held: About Space’, an exhibition surveying the trailblazing practice of American painter Al Held (1928–2005).
Press Release
Bringing together masterworks from across his five-decade career, the selection reveals the extent to which Held realised novel modes of form, space and colour, navigating spatial complexity through a combination of hard-edged geometry and spontaneous gestural expression. Describing his work in a 1977 interview as ‘a space that is in constant flux, that is never at rest, that is relational’, [1] Held engaged in a continuous process of trial and reinvention, experimenting with scale, form, surface and colour to explore the potential of spatial abstraction.
