The Directors of Marlborough Gallery are pleased to announce the opening of an exhibition by the New York City-based collage artist, Michael Anderson. This is Anderson’s debut exhibition with the gallery and will be held from Thursday, December 13 to Saturday, January 5 at the new Marlborough Chelsea, located at 545 West 25th Street.
The exhibition will consist of one sculpture and 15 of the artist’s signature collages made from international street posters. In creating these visually arresting assemblages of varying scale, Anderson first accumulates thousands of torn posters from cultural locations such as Berlin, Mexico City, Naples, Rome and New York. They are then separated and sorted based on their subject matter, paper quality or aesthetic properties and eventually collaged in a painterly fashion to create works that Roberta Smith of The New York Times called “dazzling mosaic-like images that fluctuate in optical pattern and cultural reference.”
An illustrated color catalogue of the show, with an essay by John Carlin, will be available at the time of the exhibition.
Michael Anderson is part of Marlborough Madrid’s summer show, ending September 8th.
The Marlborough Summer Exhibition begins June 6th and features Michael Anderson and Joe Diebes amongst others; showing painting, sculpture and photography.
