About the Item

Aaron Collier’s abstract paintings are both suggestive and silent, exploring the possibility of paint to simultaneously reveal and conceal. Since 2017 he has been interested in parallels between sense-making at the sites of architectural ruins and what we do before images and other silences. Learning at these sites is a care-driven process of encounter, unearthing, arranging, deducing, imagining, testing, failing, and connecting, in no particular order with no guarantee of understanding. Furthermore, a learned humility before other personal or historical unknowns could advance knowledge and communion beyond the field of visual communication. Collier teaches drawing and painting at Tulane University as an Associate Professor. He has participated in recent group exhibitions at the Contemporary Arts Center (LA) and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art and has been featured in New American Paintings. His paintings are represented in such collections as the New Orleans Museum of Art, Iberia Bank, and the Boston Medical Center. Collier has been selected for artist residencies at the Ragdale Foundation, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans, ISCP in Brooklyn, and OAZO in Amsterdam.

By Fritz Bultman
Located in New Orleans, LA
Fritz Bultman (1919-1985) was an American Abstract Expressionist painter, sculptor, and collagist and a member of the New York School of artists. He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and moved to Germany to join the Bauhaus at the age of 16. There, he was acquainted with Maria Hofmann, the wife of Hans Hofmann, which initiated a move to New York to study under his guidance. Bultman set himself apart from other Abstract Expressionists with his meticulously organized abstract compositions, use of sculpture, and the adoption of collage as a core practice. In 1950, Fritz Bultman and 27 other distinguished artists signed a letter protesting the conservative nature of the work selected for a forthcoming national exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The signees of this historic letter were identified as, the “Irascibles,” resulting in the majority achieving international acclaim as Abstract Expressionist artists including Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko, among others. Throughout his life Fritz Bultman received several awards including Fulbright and Guggenheim Fellowships and was a founding member of the Long Point...
