Much of the power and impact of Julian Schnabel’s work is located in what we experience in its physical materiality. His use of found materials, chance operations, and inventive mark making are immediately available to us and offer entry points to the cultural signifiers that are layered within them. Join Jim Cogswell, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Professor of Art, Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design, for an exploration of what we learn from our experience of these works in their material presence, and the evidence of process and intention buried within them. How far can we trust our perceptions? What, if anything, might go missing from relying on what we see and long to touch?
The exhibition Julian Schnabel was organized by the Brant Foundation Art Study Center. Lead support for UMMA’s installation is provided by Joseph and Annette Allen, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the University of Michigan Health System, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, and Retirement Income Solutions.
