12 June-1 September 2013<\/p>\n

The New Museum presents the long-overdue career retrospective of Llyn Foulkes, which will also mark the first New York museum exhibition of works by the artist. An influential yet under-recognized artist of his generation, Foulkes makes work that stands out for its raw, immediate, and visceral qualities. Coming from a tradition of West Coast artists working in assemblage in the \u201960s, such as Ed Kienholz and Bruce Conner, Foulkes has consistently challenged audiences and expanded his work into new territories. His presentation at the New Museum features over one hundred works from the scope of his fifty-year career. These range from the emotionally charged constructions of the early 1960s and his impeccably painted landscapes of the American West, to his deeply disturbing portraits from the late 1970s and his remarkable recent narrative tableaux, which seamlessly blend painting with found materials to create an extraordinary illusion of depth. His diverse body of work resists categorization and defies expectations, distinguishing Foulkes as a truly unique and significant artistic voice.<\/p>\n

“Llyn Foulkes” is organized by the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, and is curated by Ali Subotnick, Curator.\u00a0The New Museum\u2019s presentation is organized in conjunction with Subotnick by Margot Norton, Assistant Curator.<\/p>\n

Llyn Foulkes (b. 1934 Yakima, Washington, USA) studied music and art at Central Washington College of Education until he was drafted into the US Army in 1954. After two years of service in postwar Germany, he studied at the University of Washington before moving to Los Angeles in 1957 to attend the Chouinard Art Institute. In 1959, he was included in a group exhibition at Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles, where he later had his first solo exhibition in 1961. Shortly after, his first solo museum exhibition was held at the Pasadena Museum of Art in 1962. Foulkes has been included in many important group exhibitions including \u201cWhitney Museum Annual of American Painting,\u201d Whitney Museum of American Art (1967); the Ninth S\u00e3o Paulo Biennial (1967); and the Paris Biennale (1967). He formed his own band, Llyn Foulkes\u00a0and The Rubber Band, in 1973, which performed at various venues including The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson<\/em> in 1974, and in 1979 he began building his epic music Machine, which he continues to perform on today. Foulkes received a Solomon R. Guggenheim Fellowship in 1977 and had his first survey exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago (1978). His first retrospective was held in 1995 at the Laguna Art Museum (traveled to Cincinnati, Oakland, and Palm Springs), and he was featured in \u201cHelter Skelter: L.A. Art in the 1990s\u201d at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (1992). In 2008, he was awarded the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award, and in 2009, he received the Artists\u2019 Legacy Foundation Award. In 2011, he was featured in seven \u201cPacific Standard Time\u201d exhibitions (at institutions in Southern California) and the Venice Biennale, and in 2012 his paintings were included in Documenta 13, where he also performed.<\/p>\n

The exhibition was first on view at the Hammer Museum<\/a>, Los Angeles (3 February-19 May 2013). After the exhibition at The New Museum, the exhibition will travel to the Museum Kurhaus Kleve<\/a>.\u00a0The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue including essays by novelist and art critic Jim Lewis, writer Jason Weiss, and curator Ali Subotnick.<\/p>\n
