Exhibition Description
In the 1970s, Jack Whitten transitioned from gestural abstraction to a more systematic approach in his art, focusing on process and experimentation. He began working on flat surfaces, utilizing custom-designed tools and materials to create images that minimized the artist's hand. Embracing contemporary technological language, Whitten described his new method as "developed" rather than "designed." This exhibition at Dia Beacon showcases a selection of these black-and-white works on paper, offering insight into the evolution of Whitten's artistic practice during this transformative period.
