Doug Ohlson Biography
Doug Ohlson was born in 1936 in Cherokee, Iowa and died in 2010 in New York. After spending several years in the Marines, he finished his undergraduate degree at the University of Minnesota. He moved to New York in 1961 where Ohlson took classes at Hunter College. There he met Tony Smith, Gene Goosen and Ray Parker who would all become important to Doug’s life and work. He soon joined them as a painting teacher at Hunter in 1964, a post at which he would remain until 2001.
During the 60s, Ohlson made hard-edged geometric paintings that played with nuanced relationships between colors. Throughout his career he varied the scale and method of his painting, but always retained his intensity of color and form. The critic Carter Ratcliff wrote, “A predilection for bright color survives from his early work, along with a liking for tall, rectangular shapes. The elongated panels of his early days have become the vertical slabs of color in his later canvases.”
Ohlson showed often in New York galleries, among them Fishbach Gallery, Susan Caldwell and Ruth Siegel. His work was shown alongside other color field and minimalist artists included in the major 1968 exhibition, “Art of the Real” at the Museum of Modern Art. An important 20 year survey exhibition of his work was organized and held in 2002 at Hunter College.
The Washburn Gallery has represented Doug Ohlson’s Estate since 2011. Ohlson’s work is included in many museum collections, including the Brooklyn Museum, the National Gallery of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Jeux Enquête - Choisissez vos Ennemis, 1970-2014
Screenprint on wove paper
Hand signed, dated and numbered 46/50 in graphite by the artist on the front
Published by Serpentine Galleries, UK
Accompanied by official certificate of authenticity from the Serpentine
as well as gallery issued Certificate of Guarantee
Unframed
The long sold out Limited Edition produced on the occasion of Julio Le Parc’s exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in the UK is a silkscreen print of a dartboard, part of the playful installation Choisissez vos Ennemis (1970) from his Jeux Enquête series, which was featured in the show. This series was borne from the civil unrest in France and the events of May 1968. It depicts social archetypes of different ranks: the imperialist, the capitalist, the military, the intellectual neutral, the policeman, and the indifferent.
Julio Le Parc was born in Mendoza, Argentina in 1928 and currently lives and works in Paris where he has resided since the late 1950s. In 1964 he was awarded the Special Prize (acquisition) in the Premio Internacional Torcuato Di Tella, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and in 1996, the International Painting Grand Prix at the XXXIII Venice Biennial, Italy. Following his expulsion from Paris in 1968, he travelled around various European countries only to return five months later when the restriction was revoked. Le Parc participated in Unofficial Latin America, held in Paris, and the Medellín Biennial in Colombia in 1970. Le Parc held his first solo exhibition at the Howard Wise Gallery, New York (1966), which was followed his first retrospective exhibition, held at the Instituto Di Tella in Buenos Aires, Argentina (1967). Subsequently Le Parc has held numerous retrospective exhibitions in major museums in Havana, Düsseldorf, Montevideo, Caracas, Asunción, Mexico City, Stockholm, Berlin, Madrid, Barcelona, Santiago de Chile, and Porto Alegre. His most recent solo exhibitions were held at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris (2013) and at the Daros Foundation (2014). Notable writings include: A propósito de arte espectáculo... (With regard to spectacle art...); Función social del arte en la sociedad contemporánea (The social function of art in contemporary society); Color 1959 (Colour 1959); and El artista en el context social actual (The artist in the present social context). He participated, with the Denuncia group, in the collective work Torture (1972) and joined the International Brigade...
