Frieze Masters

David Zwirner is pleased to participate in Frieze Masters (https://www.frieze.com/fairs/frieze-masters) 2021 with a presentation of works by Ad Reinhardt, made between 1940 and 1950. This focused selection explores this important transitional decade in Reinhardt’s career, as his art evolved from the cubist- and constructivist-inspired abstractions of the late 1930s and early 1940s to works featuring sinuous calligraphic lines to all-over compositions of brick-like forms, which anticipate his celebrated red, blue, and black monochrome paintings of the 1950s and 1960s. These works highlight Reinhardt’s skill as a colorist and his interest in experimenting with his media, which included oil, ink, gouache, and collage on a variety of supports. 
 
Concurrent with the presentation at Frieze Masters will be an online viewing room, on davidzwirner.com (https://www.davidzwirner.com/viewing-room/2021/ad-reinhardt-frieze-masters?authkey=20211008), dedicated to several of the Ad Reinhardt works on view at the fair. This will launch on October 8.
