London-based artist Tomma Abts creates paintings that confound expectation. Small, severe, and abstract, Abts’ work is an antidote to the florid figuration that has dominated the contemporary painting discourse for the last decade. As one of the leaders of a resurgent abstract vocabulary, she has found a language that is not merely abstract, but also absolutist and visionary. This is the first major U.S. solo exhibition of paintings by Abts and includes fifteen paintings created over the past ten years. The exhibition is curated by Laura Hoptman, Kraus Family Senior Curator.
