With a Pace Gallery Show, Robert Mangold Demonstrates His Consistency
The abstract artist Robert Mangold has been so remarkably consistent and disciplined with his approach to painting and drawing that he makes pretty much everyone else look capricious and changeable.
Mangold has been exploring geometry, form and color for more than 60 years, with a half-century of that time on a charming property here in the Hudson Valley with an old farmhouse and a barn.
Now 87, Mangold has definitely slowed down. But he is still working, and he has a show of recent paintings and works on paper at Pace Gallery in Chelsea that opens on Friday.
'Robert Mangold: Pentagons and Folded Space' is timed to coincide with the busy spring art season in New York and remains on view until Aug. 15.
