Hardcover. NY, Mnuchin Gallery , 1st, 2023, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, 65 pages, fully Illustrated fabric bound catalogue designed by McCall Associates, New York and authored by art historian, professor and scholar Clayton Press. "Mnuchin Gallery is proud to present Joan Mitchell--Christine Ay Tjoe: an exhibition which sparks a dialogue between, Joan Mitchell and Christine Ay Tjoe, two trailblazers of 20th and 21st century abstraction... These two distinct artists use alternative means to address the same question: "What does it mean to make an abstract painting?" Mitchell and Ay Tjoe both engage with the canvas using a bevy of brushstrokes that vary in degrees of strength and depth. Through this process, they yield deeply introspective paintings that simultaneously allude to the real world with playful titles and harmonic color palettes. The paintings presented in Joan Mitchell-Christine Ay Tjoe underscore how these artists draw from their environments and cultures, as they ultimately seek to transcend generational boundaries and prescribed definitions of Eastern and Western artistic traditions."
