Theaster Gates
The work of Theaster Gates (b. 1973) extends beyond museums and galleries to reclaimed buildings and whole city blocks. Approaching his work as both an urban planner and an artist, Gates’s multifaceted career has involved community projects, installations, performances with his musical ensemble the Black Monks and sculpture. Initially focused on ceramics, he has used that experience of shaping material into something new in his social-practice-oriented art.
Alongside art engaging with Black history in the United States — such as his Civil Tapestry series (2011) in which layered fire hoses evoke abstract paintings as well as the police’s use of hoses on civil rights activists — Gates has spearheaded initiatives to revitalize his hometown of Chicago. In 2010, in response to the many structures that have over time become abandoned in his South Side neighborhood, Gates launched the Rebuild Foundation. The project has seen the renovation of a number of buildings, with one being transformed into a gallery space.
After earning a bachelor’s in urban planning at Iowa State University and later pursuing religious studies at the University of Cape Town, Gates studied pottery with ceramics masters in Japan. He returned to the United States to finish multidisciplinary master’s work in urban planning, ceramics and religious studies. Gates brings these areas and his civic-minded projects together in pieces such as 2007’s Plate Convergence, for which he made 50 plank-shaped clay plates. For the exhibition’s installation, the plates were hung on a wall at Chicago’s Hyde Park Art Center paired with a projection of a pre-filmed dinner featuring the tableware, which referenced the history of the plates and the “unexpected relationships” that emerged around them.
Gates’s art regularly elevates underappreciated materials, including roofer’s tar and beetle-damaged ash trees that were made into pillars for his 2019 solo show at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. A sense of place and the vitality of these objects is always central, such as Martyr Construction, his exhibition at the 2015 Venice Biennale. The work featured elements of a demolished Chicago church, a reflection on the civic failures to preserve sacred architecture in marginalized neighborhoods.

Price Upon Request - Lithograph Print Pattern & Decoration Art Honor Father & Mother Robert KushnerBy Robert KushnerLocated in Surfside, FLRobert Ellis Kushner (American, b.1949). 44/84 Lithograph on paper titled " Honor thy Mother and Father"; Depicting a husband and wife (I have seen this print described as a screenprint and as a lithograph) Hand signed in pencil and dated alongside an embossed pictorial blindstamp of a closed hand with one raised index finger. Solo Press. From The Ten Commandments Kenny Scharf; Joseph Nechvatal; Gretchen Bender; April Gornik; Robert Kushner; Nancy Spero; Vito Acconci; Jane Dickson; Judy Rifka; Richard Bosman and Lisa Liebmann. Robert Kushner, born in 1949, in California, lives in New York, and is a painter and sculptor. He gained attention in the early seventies as a performance artist, using food, fabric and nudity. Kushner was associated with the Pattern and Decoration movement and used fabric collage in large-scale, bold paintings of the figure. Since 1987 he has used flowers as the subject of his paintings, more recently adding a cornucopia of fruits and vegetables to his repertoire. Kushner's use of rich color harmonies and bold, fluid drawing, mark his belief in the importance of beauty in our lives. Kushner draws from a unique range of influences, including Islamic and European textiles, Henri Matisse, Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles Demuth, Pierre Bonnard, Tawaraya Sotatsu, Ito Jakuchu, Qi Baishi, and Wu Changshuo. Kushner’s work combines organic representational elements with abstracted geometric forms in a way that is both decorative and modernist. Kushner has collaborated with Master printer Bud Shark since 1982 on various monotypes and lithographs. These exuberant, sensuous prints often include collage elements, including glitter, chine-collé, metal leaf and hand coloring. Kushner's work has been exhibited extensively in the United States, Europe, and Japan and has been included in the Whitney Biennial three times and twice at the Venice Biennale in Italy. He was the subject of solo exhibitions at both the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Brooklyn Museum. A mid-career retrospective of his work was organized by the Philadelphia Institute of Contemporary Art. He was one of the original painters of the Pattern and Decoration movements of the 1970s. (along with Cynthia Carlson, Brad Davis, Mary Grigoriadis, Joyce Kozloff, Robert Kushner, Kim MacConnel, Sonya Rapoport, Miriam Schapiro and Valerie Jaudon) The group began exhibiting together in 1976 in "Ten Approaches to the Decorative" at the Alessandra Gallery in New York, followed by "Pattern Painting" in 1977 at PS1 in Long Island City, Queens. Subsequently, over fifty group exhibitions featuring the founding artists were held in museums and galleries in Europe and the U.S. including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Art Institute of Chicago, Palais des Beaux Arts, Brussels, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark, the Neue Galerie, in Aachen, Germany, the Pori Art Museum, the Mayor Gallery in London, Modern Art Oxford, and the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers, New York.Robert Kushner's prints include a lithograph with gold leaf titled White Lilac and a series of monotypes that include Blue Bells II, Geranium IV, and Oregon Grape III. Robert Kushner lives in New York and has completed several major public commissions. He has exhibited his work widely and is represented in the collections of The Brooklyn Museum, Los Angeles County Museum, The Metropolitan Museum, NY, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Tate Gallery, London, The Whitney Museum, NY and others. In 1997 Hudson Hills Press published the monograph, Robert Kushner: Gardens of Earthly Delight by Alexandra Anderson-Spivey. The New Jersey Center for Visual Arts mounted the survey exhibition Robert Kushner: 25 Years of Making Art in 1998. Kushner's work is represented in numerous important public collections: Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY Art Collection of the United States Embassy, Panama Australian National Gallery, Canberra, Australia The Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore, MD Bowdoin College Museum of Art, Brunswick, ME The Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn, NY California Palace of the Legion of Honor, San Francisco, CA Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, PA The Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus, OH The Contemporary Museum, Honolulu, HI The Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC Galleria degli Ufizzi, Florence, Italy Gröninger Museum, Gröningen, the Netherlands Honolulu Academy of Arts, Honolulu, Hawaii J.
