Van Doren Waxter presents a cross generational program reflecting the shared vision of John Van Doren, Dorsey Waxter, and Elizabeth Sadeghi. It brings together foundations and estates with a roster of emerging and international artists specializing in artists working from the post WW II era to the present with an emphasis on American Abstraction.  The gallery represents the James Brooks Foundation, the Richard Diebenkorn Foundation, the Tom Fairs Estate, the Harvey Quaytman Trust, and the Hedda Sterne Foundation.  Contemporary artists include Caetano de Almeida, Marsha Cottrell, TM Davy, Jeronimo Elespe, Volker Hüller, Brian Rochefort, Jackie Saccoccio and Daisy Youngblood.  Additionally, the gallery handles secondary market work specializing in John Chamberlain, Helen Frankenthaler, Hans Hofmann, Ellsworth Kelly, Lee Krasner, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Motherwell, Georgia O'Keeffe, Frank Stella, Wayne Thiebaud, and Anne Truitt, among others.  The combined program positions contemporary artists who are actively creating new work within the context of historical artists.

A Little Touch of Grace



September 18, 2024 - November 8, 2024
The title of this exhibition is from Anne Truitt's studio journal, “The Daybook,” where she writes, “(…) I was asked where I thought art came from, from what part of the mind. I answered that I did not know but I thought it possible to put one’s self in the way of art much in the same way that cloistered devotees place themselves in the way of religious experience. Art comes, if we are blessed with what Jack Tworkov called ‘a little touch of grace,’ into the highest part of the mind, that with which we can know the presence of God. But we have to pay attention to that area in order to notice the grace, or even perhaps to attract it.” In this group of paintings, there is a discovery of quietness and stillness among the echoes of contradiction. They are vessels that hold both literal and abstract space, offering the viewers a place beyond linear shapes and gentle fields of color– a place of meditation.
