Di Donna Galleries

Di Donna Galleries in New York, Jeanne Bucher Jaeger in Paris and Waddington Custot in London are pleased to present a landmark travelling exhibition of important works by the Portuguese-born painter Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, in a first-of-its-kind collaboration between the three international galleries. Bringing together key paintings and works on paper from throughout the artist’s career, the exhibition will explore Vieira da Silva’s unique approach to depicting space through poetic, semi-abstract compositions.

Di Donna Galleries is pleased to present "Hallowed Ground: Tanguy, Lam, Penalba, Cárdenas", an exhibition on view at the gallery’s Madison Avenue location from October 30 to December 6. The exhibition unites the works of Yves Tanguy, Wifredo Lam, Alicia Penalba, and Agustín Cárdenas—artists whose journeys from diverse locales converged in the creative capital of Paris. The exhibition explores how these masters integrated their native environments within the framework of Parisian Modernism, showcasing Tanguy and Lam’s fantastical painted worlds alongside Penalba and Cárdenas’ poignant sculptures. Each of these artists used their shifting environments, as well as their native natural landscapes, as resonant material, emphasizing their respective cultures and individual narratives. Elements found in both Tanguy and Lam’s painted worlds appear to come forth into real space with the sculptures of Penalba and Cárdenas. Monday - Friday | 10AM - 6PM Saturday November 2, 9, 16 | 11AM - 6PM

Di Donna Galleries is pleased to announce Enchanted Reverie: Klee and Calder, organized in close collaboration with the Calder Foundation. The first exhibition in eighty years to pair these Modern masters, Enchanted Reverie brings together over forty paintings, sculptures, and works on paper to present Paul Klee (1879–1940) and Alexander Calder (1898–1976) in dialogue, illuminating their shared metaphysical understanding of the universe’s unseen forces. The exhibition includes loans from distinguished private collections and international institutions including the Fondation Beyeler, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago, as well as an impressive selection of works from the Calder Foundation. A fully illustrated catalogue featuring essays by historians Olivier Berggruen and Dr. Elizabeth Hutton Turner will accompany the exhibition.

Di Donna Galleries, in collaboration with Timothy Baum, is pleased to present Man Ray’s Paris Portraits: 1921-1939, featuring 70 rare vintage silver prints that offer insight into one of the greatest artists and photographers of the twentieth century. Man Ray’s Paris Portraits celebrates the artist and the creative community that surrounded him in Paris between the war years. Highlights include rarely seen self-portraits, as well as intimate portrayals of the artists, writers, and intellectuals in his circle, including prints of André Breton, Meret Oppenheim, Marcel Duchamp, André Derain, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, Paul Éluard, Tristan Tzara, and Louis Aragon, among others. In addition to presenting a dazzling who’s who of the Parisian avant-garde, the works also showcase the technical innovations in photography that Man Ray made during his time in the city. Man Ray’s Paris Portraits will be on view from April 26 to June 30 and will be accompanied by a fully illustrated book with texts by Timothy Baum, a leading expert in Dada and Surrealism, who became a personal friend of Man Ray during the last decade of the artist's life.
