Press Release

Thomas Erben’s booth at Art Basel Miami Beach (Galleries, C31) presents a survey of the various positions that have defined the gallery’s vision over the past 25 years.

On view will be Adrian Piper’s Ur Mutter #9, along with an example from her 1971 series Food for the Spirit, and Senga Nengudi’s performance photographs Masked Taping from 1978/79. A Mike Cloud quilt painting (reproduced in Bob Nickas’ Painting Abstraction) will act as a centrepiece, connecting the gallery’s historical support of the African-American avant-garde to a painting program—represented by Dona Nelson and Harriet Korman—that conceptually probes the medium through experiments in material, process, and form.
