Jack Whitten: The Alphabet Paintings, November 18, 2022–July 10, 2023

Opening at Dia Beacon on November 18th, is the first exhibition devoted to Jack Whitten’s Greek Alphabet painting series of 1975–78. The 1970s marked a juncture in Jack Whitten’s painting career. In this decade, he rejected the gestural brushstrokes of Abstract Expressionism and embarked on what would become a sustained interest in experimental processes and materials. The exhibit is curated by Donna De Salvo, senior adjunct curator for special projects, Matilde Guidelli-Guidi, associate curator, and Zuna Maza, curatorial assistant, and accompanied by a book of the same title.
