SONIA GECHTOFF BIOGRAPHY
Sonia Gechtoff was an American artist known for her Abstract Expressionist paintings. Wielding a palette knife, Gechtoff produced energetic works with vortex-like marks of nuanced color. “I wasn’t the least bit interested in feminist art, and I still am not,” she once said. “We were feminist before the feminists came along.” Born on September 25, 1926 in Philadelphia, PA, she was taught to paint from a young age by her father the artist Leonid Gechtoff. She studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and moved to San Francisco in 1951. In California, she fell into the milieu of Bay Area artists such as Elmer Bischoff, Jay DeFeo, and her future husband James Kelly. The artist cited the work of Clyfford Still as a major influence, especially during her shift from expressive figuration to abstraction. Gechtoff and her husband moved to New York in 1958, and quickly became fixtures of the city’s art scene. Over the course of her career, Gechtoff’s work fell out of fashion but continued to evolve, incorporating motifs from her everyday surroundings and abstracting them in unique ways. The artist died on February 1, 2018 in New York, NY at the age of 91. Today, her works are held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Smithsonian Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C., and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among others.

GREGG ROBINSON
The universe of visual art encompasses a huge spectrum of motivation and means of expression. Examples range from the most syrupy sentimentality to extremes of moral and intellectual confrontation. For me, the creative process is, on the simplest level, an aesthetic puzzle. Elements of the puzzle include contrast, color, visual texture, graphic pattern, and in some recent work, a simple cryptic symbolism.
I have never been particularly interested in lyric or pictorial content, and though some of my work does contain undeniable spatial illusion, even that tends to be a by-product rather than a goal of the primary pursuit: the balance of light and dark, pure color and organic neutrals, energy and calm, strong pattern and subtle field. Having grown up in an environment of contemporary architecture, I have always valued the classic modern synthesis of form and function exemplified by the Bauhaus movement of the early 20th century. Hence, the simplest solutions are often the most satisfying. Obviously, the modernist ideal of efficiency in form and function requires that method of execution be as well adapted to the aesthetic goal as the visual language itself.
The media before you is the result of many years of experimentation that came to its current form in early 1992. I work with dry pigment over a plaster surface. My tools are broad knives, sponges, rags and masking. The finish is a high gloss alkyd resin.
