The works featured in this exhibition demonstrate how the processes of mark-making and linear demarcation—be they sculptural, gestural, lyrical, conceptual, or geometrical—form a thematic thread running through the Berkowitz Contemporary Foundation’s collection of Modern and Contemporary Art. They also prompt viewers to consider the ways in which artists, working across several major stylistic movements over the course of the past sixty years, have used line to express a vast array of meanings through an equally wide range of shapes, patterns, and textures.
This exhibition was curated by the Lowe’s Curator of Collections and Exhibitions, Caitlin Swindell and organized by the Lowe Art Museum.
