Joan Mitchell: Works on Paper
March 31 - June 27, 2010


A comprehensive survey of Joan Mitchell’s works on paper over a 36-year period, this show explores her evolution as an abstract expressionist and her emphatic use of line, color, and light.

The exhibition, organized by New York’s Cheim & Read Gallery in cooperation with the Joan Mitchell Foundation, focuses on the artist’s bold work in pastel but also includes examples of other media including watercolor, paint, pencil, gouache, and ink. Tulane Associate Professor of Art History Michael D. Plante will serve as an advisor for the show.
