"Twelve Modern American Painters and Sculptors" : Paris, Zürich, Düsseldorf, Stockholm, Helsinki, and Oslo in 1953-54

"Because of the new prominence of the United States in world affairs, and her growing influence in so many spheres of human activity, curiosity about this country was particularly intensified. Everyone knew America was big, powerful and technically advanced. But what about her culture?

The Museum of Modern Art received from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund a five-year grant with which to develop an International Program of circulating exhibitions.

The Program was free to show whatever aspects of American achievement it considered reflected creative activity in the United States."

-Helen M. France, Institute of International Education, New Bulletin, Dec 1957.

September 6 - October 25, 2008

Michael Rosenfeld Gallery presents its first solo exhibition featuring the work of Theodore Roszak (1907-1981). This exhibition includes one major bronze sculpture, Insect Plant (1957), and sixteen works on paper that date from c.1947 to 1958. Many of the detailed drawings represent preparatory studies for realized three-dimensional works. Although best known for his constructions and organic, welded sculptures, Roszak relied on drawing as a tool for clarifying and distilling his ideas, stating, “To me, drawing is of course an experience that has its own self-sufficient and rewarding end. At the same time, it serves as a means of releasing any number of ideas that could not be so readily recorded in any other media. I know of no other way that one can record one’s experiences and impressions so quickly, effectively and efficiently, than drawing.”
