Joan Mitchell

27 Jul-3 Oct 2010

Overview

The first UK solo museum exhibition by the great American abstract expressionist painter Joan Mitchell (1925-1992). The exhibition features key paintings on canvas and works on paper from throughout a career spent in New York (where she enjoyed the support of Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline) and France, where she lived from 1959. Curated by Philip Larratt–Smith, it considers Mitchell’s work in the light of her love of nature and poetry. It has been selected by New York-based writer and curator Philip Larratt–Smith and is presented in association with the Joan Mitchell Foundation, New York. Inverleith House gratefully acknowledges the additional support of Cheim & Read Gallery, New York and Hauser & Wirth, Zürich.
