PhillipsX Presents Stillness: Hammershøi and American Minimalism
NEW YORK, April 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- PhillipsX is honored to announce the opening of its latest selling exhibition, Stillness: Hammershøi and American Minimalism, set to open to the public on 22 April and remain on view through 17 May, coinciding with the auction house's May marquee sales in New York. The exhibition offers a unique exploration of the connections between the works of Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi and major American Minimalists such as Anni Albers, Agnes Martin, Robert Mangold, and Kenneth Noland. Highlighted within the exhibition are a selection of exceptional works by Hammershøi, including exemplary works from the collection of Ambassador John L. Loeb Jr. who served as the US Ambassador to Denmark from 1981 to 1983. During his time as Ambassador, he amassed a significant collection of Danish art, now considered to be the largest in the world outside of Danish museums. By juxtaposing works such as Martin's Untitled #10, 1998, on loan from a private collection, and Albers' Triadic DR III, 1969 with Hammershøi's paintings in the same space, the connections across artistic movements are illuminated in a new light.
