Red Grooms

About the Item

Joan On the Bed IV, 2020 monotype, unique print from a series of V 18 3/4 x 22 3/8 in. (47.6 x 56.8 cm) framed: 22 x 25 3/8 in. Coinciding with the current presentation of recent paintings by Red Grooms is a new series of monotypes inspired by the 2018 book by Mary Gabriel, Ninth Street Women. It is through the printmaking process that Grooms has recollected and re-constructed history, merging the infamous 1951 photograph from Life Magazine of the Irascibles with the women of Ninth Street. The exhibition also pays homage to the artists, friends, and personalities Grooms encountered during these early formative years in New York. By reconstructing the image with the inclusion of all the notable Abstract Expressionist artists of the period, Red Grooms attempts to recognize the often-overlooked contribution by women artists to the AbEx movement and the significant role they played as bold innovators within the New York School during the 1940s and 1950s. Grooms became an active participant in 1957, joining the cooperative Phoenix Gallery on East 10th Street, the then heart of the art world. He would later start City Gallery with Jay Milder in his own loft on West 24th Street. “We were reacting to Tenth Street. In ’58 and ’59, Tenth Street was sort of like SoHo is now, and it was getting all the lively attention of everyone downtown. We were just kids in our twenties and had a flair for attracting people to our openings.”
