Sam Gilliam on Rashid Johnson

18 Mar 2013

Rashid Johnson will curate Hard-Edge Paintings 1963-1966, an exhibition of Sam Gilliam’s early work at the David Kordansky Gallery in Los Angeles, scheduled to be on display from 28 March through 11 May 2013. The Wall Street Journal has more details, plus commentary from both artists on each other’s work, including the following from Gilliam on Johnson:

“I encourage young artists to know what’s in books but to go beyond books, to see what is going on outside of school, because that’s what you’re actually training for. To see the variables. The fact is, I’m still the same, perhaps, as I was when I was younger. The idea of the work is still the same. You see something as an extension of a certain time or a certain date, rather than the observation that the optimism of the ’50s and ’60s still continues—quieter but still the same. I see a kind of optimism when I talk with Rashid.”
