Overlooked Artist Louisa Chase Returns to the Spotlight
Artnet News reports that Berry Campbell in New York is presenting “Louisa Chase: The Eighties,” the largest and most comprehensive Louisa Chase (1951–2016) solo show in New York in more than two decades and the first since the gallery announced representation of her estate. The exhibition repositions Chase—mentored by Philip Guston after meeting him in 1975 during her Yale MFA—within 1980s painting between Neo-Expressionism and the New Image movement. It revisits her career milestones, including a 1981 solo show at Robert Miller Gallery, appearances in the 1981 and 1983 Whitney Biennials, and inclusion in the American Pavilion at the 1984 Venice Biennale. The article notes her work is held by major institutions including the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.
