Biography
Gabriele Evertz (b. 1945 Berlin, Germany; lives Brooklyn, NY) has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions internationally, including in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the United States. Her recent museum exhibitions include the South Bend Museum of Art (South Bend, IN), The Baker Museum (Naples, FL), Mattatuck Museum (Waterbury, CT), Columbus Museum (Columbus, OH), Heckscher Museum (Huntington, NY), Hillwood Art Museum (Brookville, NY), Louisiana Art & Science Museum (Baton Rouge, LA), MoMA PS1 (Long Island City, NY), Museo de Art Contemporáneo (Buenos Aires, Argentina), Osthaus Museum Hagen (Hagen, Germany), Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum (Miami, FL), and Ulrich Museum (Wichita, KS).
Evertz is a member of the prestigious American Abstract Artists, nominated by the late artist Mac Wells in 1996. Her work is included in many public collections worldwide, such as the Art in Embassies Program of the U.S. Department of State, British Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Columbus Museum of Art, Ewing Gallery / University of Tennessee Knoxville, Hallmark Collection, Harvard University Art Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Mississippi Museum of Art, Museo de Art Contemporáneo (Buenos Aires), Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Museum of Modern Art / Library Special Collection, Museum Modern Art (Hünfeld), New York Public Library, New Jersey State Museum, Osthaus Museum Hagen, Phillips Collection, Princeton University Library, St. Lawrence University Art Museum, Stiftung für Konstruktive und Konkrete Kunst (Zürich), Whitney Museum of American Art, and Wilhelm Hack Museum, among others.
In addition to her painting practice, Evertz was Professor of Art, Painting in Hunter College’s Department of Art & Art History, NYC from 1990-2018. She is a key protagonist in the renowned Hunter Color School, alongside other color painters, including Vincent Longo, Doug Ohlson, Robert Swain, and Sanford Wurmfeld. Over the past fifteen years, Evertz has also curated several critically-acclaimed artist retrospectives and exhibitions, including Dual Current: Inseparable Elements in Painting and Architecture; Visual Sensations: Robert Swain Paintings, 1967-2010; Presentational Painting III; Seeing Red: An International Exhibition of Nonobjective Painting (co-curated with Michael Fehr); Set in Steel: The Sculpture of Antoni Milkowski; and Mac Wells: Light into Being (co-curated with Robert Swain).
Statement
My work investigates sensations and perceptions. The history and theory of color serve as basic tools of organization. My palette references the twelve hues of the color circle, plus black and white. My particular painting practice demands uniform precision of the painting facture that frees the observer to concentrate on color effects which suddenly and spontaneously alter with viewing distance and duration.
Informed by neuroscience and leaps of intuition my paintings aim to reveal a new and different visual experience by articulating an objective, thus universal, color language that is based on certain predications of the viewer’s response. But meaning remains open to subjective readings and color moves between reason and rapture.
Attentive viewing may turn from phenomenological moments to states of reflection which bring with it a heightened awareness of being in the world where vision, thought, and feeling concur.
