About the Item

Ablation Zone 6 (Abstract drawing) Pigment And Ice on Yupo. Unframed. Ablation is a series of drawings that extend the Blue Melt approach into large, long, excessively vertical works. “Ablation” refers to all the ways glaciers lose mass, including melting, sublimation, evaporation, and calving. Peerna starts the drawings by first marking vertical pigment lines onto plastic paper. She then methodically applies water or ice, causing the lines on the surface to melt and drip. The drawing only stops making itself when the water has dried. The resulting drip marks on the works capture the moment when solid turns into liquid, drawing a visual parallel to the moment when ice melts into water. There is already a sense of erasure in the white space surrounding the lines.

He moved to Louisville, Kentucky in 1929 and studied at the University of Missouri, Columbia from 1944 to 1946 under a wartime navy training program. He graduated from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill in 1947 and, that same year, he returned to Missouri to finish his Bachelor’s degree in Journalism before moving to Paris on a G.I. scholarship. In Paris, Youngerman enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, studying drawing with Jean Souverbie. He explored Paris, taking in the cathedrals, museums, and history in order to grasp a greater sense of art history. He also traveled to the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Italy, and Greece on fine art excursions. In 1948, Youngerman became friends with Ellsworth Kelly, Eduardo Paolozzi, and Cesar – fellow students at Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He married Delphine Seyrig in 1950, and later that year he had his first group exhibition at Galerie Maeght in Paris. He visited the studios of Constantín Brancusi and Jean Arp and became heavily influenced by the organic forms present in their work. He also met artist Alexander Calder through his father-in-law, Henri Seyrig, and experimental filmmaker and artist, Robert Breer...
