About the Item

Associated with the Minimalist art movement of the 1960s, Mangold developed a reductive vocabulary based on geometric forms, monochromatic color, and an emphasis on the flatness of the painted picture plane. Within this seemingly austere repertoire, his work has evolved over time to a heightened complexity and lyricism through the use of innovatively shaped asymmetric and multiple-panel canvases, curvilinear lines that connect and unify geometric shapes, and ineffable and surprising color combinations. Printmaking, which Mangold began professionally in 1968, was a natural fit for an artist drawn to working in series and experimenting with variations on a theme. Prints became, in fact, an area where Mangold often first developed visual ideas that later appeared in his paintings, and he has to date completed over two hundred print editions, many in serial portfolios. Mangold's work is held in numerous public collections including Art Institute of Chicago, IL; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH; Brooklyn Museum, NY; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NY; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington. D.C.; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA; Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA; Museum of Modern Art, NY; and Tate, London; among many others worldwide.
