McMaster’s Moholy-Nagy loaned to Santa Barbara Museum of Art
June 25, 2015
We are delighted that The Santa Barbara Museum of Art has borrowed a 1946 artwork by László Moholy-Nagy, Untitled (Space Modulator) from our collection, for a major exhibition, The Paintings of Moholy-Nagy: The Shape of Things to Come, on view July 5 – September 27, 2015. As further testament to the importance and appeal of McMaster’s Moholy-Nagy, it was selected to grace the cover (shown above) of a major scholarly publication to accompany the exhibition.
Santa Barbara’s exhibition is the first that explores how the practice of painting served as the means for László Moholy-Nagy to imagine generative relationships between art and technology. Featuring a suite of paintings executed on traditional supports, as well as on new industrial materials like plastics and aluminum, this presentation highlights how Moholy-Nagy’s deployment of painting served to synthesize the inter-medial practice for which the artist has become so renowned.
Moholy-Nagy’s Untitled (Space Modulator) was purchased by McMaster in 1995 and has never been loaned before*.
Looking forward to see this exhibition!
*In 2014, four of McMaster’s fotogram and fotoplastic prints by Moholy-Nagy were loaned to and exhibited at Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art in Winnipeg.
