Press Release

A special presentation of Jack Whitten’s final painting is on display at Hauser & Wirth New York, 22nd Street (3rd floor) through 31 March 2018 in memory of our dear friend and artist.

About the Artist

Born in Bessemer, Alabama in 1939, Jack Whitten is celebrated for his innovative processes of applying paint to the surface of his canvases and transfiguring their material terrains. Although Whitten initially aligned with the New York circle of abstract expressionists active in the 1960s, his work gradually distanced from the movement’s aesthetic philosophy and formal concerns, focusing more intensely on the experimental aspects of process and technique that came to define his practice.
