Press Release

Opening April 30th, Salon 94 will host the first solo exhibition of the work of pioneering Brazilian modernist Ione Saldanha (1919-2001) in the United States. The exhibition will include two decades of paintings—moving from the landscape, to the city, to abstraction, to form—alongside examples of Saldanha’s original work in sculpture with her late-career ripas and bambus. For additional information on this exhibition, please contact Andrew Blackley.

About the Artist

Ione Saldanha started producing in the 1950s, where urban scenes and portraits were recurrent themes, featuring geometrised figures that soon evolved toward abstraction. In the late 1960s, she expanded her field of experimentation, painting on supports such as slats, spools (wooden bobbins for electrical cables) and bamboo, through which she engaged in chromatic play, creating elegant and sober compositions that contrast with the rustic nature of the materials .

In 2010, a third exhibition space opened on the Bowery with a show of Richard Prince’s T-Shirt paintings. Located steps from The New Museum in New York’s Lower East Side, both galleries strive to provide more accessibility to visitors to the developing downtown art scene.Salon 94 is a member of the ADAA (Art Dealer’s Association of America).
