| Howard Gibbs’ last solo exhibition in Boston was at the Margaret
Brown Gallery in 1955. ACME Fine Art is delighted to announce the
artist’s return to Boston in a survey exhibition of Gibbs’ oil
paintings and works on paper that date from between the early 1920s
and the late 1950s. The exhibition will consist of more than one
dozen works. It will include Gibbs’ early fauvist inspired
landscapes that show the distinct influences of his study in France
before the War, as well as a fine selection of his distinctive
later canvasses that demonstrate the artist’s ability to
fully yield to his powerfully expressive avant-garde instincts.
The Baltimore Museum of Art (1954) and
the De Cordova Museum (1956) both honored Gibbs with solo exhibitions
during his lifetime. More
recently – in the Fall of 2007 - the Cape Cod Museum of Art
mounted a retrospective exhibition of the longtime Cape Cod artist’s
work. Artwork by Howard Gibbs has also been included in group exhibitions
at the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Whitney Museum of American
Art, and the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Today his work is in the
permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Addison
Gallery of American Art, the De Cordova Museum, and the Cape Cod
Museum of Art.
ACME Fine Art’s exhibition of the artwork of Howard Gibbs
will open with a reception on the evening of Friday, 9 May 2008
from 6 – 8 p.m. The exhibition will be on view through 21
June 2008. Exhibition catalogues are available through the gallery.
ACME Fine Art is located
at 38
Newbury Street, Boston.
