Press Release

Gloria Klein’s (1936–2021) legacy of advocacy on behalf of women and lesbian artists, such as herself, has long been excluded from the art historical canon. Her systematic paintings and drawings from the 1970s are belied by their exuberant colour and form. They can be read as Minimalist, Conceptual, and systems-based, but they are also indebted to the burgeoning support for ‘women work’ and the Pattern & Decoration movement.

Klein developed systems and processes to experiment with palettes and compositions that result in intricate patterns ranging from the highly structured to the completely chaotic with every variation in between. The interplay of order and disruption plays a vital role in Klein’s practice, who came of age in 1970s New York. Klein’s slender hard-edged hatch marks of varying lengths were core to her expression. Like a single sewing stitch only makes one mark, collectively hundreds and thousands of them create intricate patterns and complex compositions.
