Sullivan Goss’ next exhibit, “P-TOWN IN S.B.,” featuring several artists, will start with an opening reception 4-6 p.m., Saturday, June 29. P-TOWN refers to Provincetown, a seaside art colony on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. The exhibit runs June 28-Aug. 26.
Sullivan Goss is representing Judith Rothschild (1921-93), a largely New York and Provincetown-based abstract artist. She studied at Wellesley College and the Cranbrook Academy of Art before going on to study with Reginald Marsh at the Art Students League in New York.
Rothschild then worked with William Stanley Hayter at Atelier 17 and later with Hans Hofmann.
Sullivan Goss has a select group of Rothschild’s works created from about 1944 to 1957. One, from 1955, was painted in Big Sur, where the artist lived between 1949-56.
Coincidentally, Sullivan Goss represents two other artists painting around the same period as Rothschild with important connections to the same area.
Betty Lane (1907-96) was born in Washington, D.C.. She trained outside of Boston and in Paris under French Cubist André L’Hote. Lane then lived in England during the 1930s, where she absorbed some of the emerging Surrealist sensibilities.
When the war forced her out, she settled in New England. Eventually, she retired on the Cape.
Sidney Gordin (1918-96) was born in Chelyabinsk, Russia. He went to school at Cooper Union, where he majored in painting. In the early to mid 1940s, he made a series of daring abstract paintings at Provincetown before turning to sculpture a few years later.
Finally, the Summer Salon continues, but there will be nine small, new paintings of silver by Leslie Lewis Sigler debuting. Sigler’s paintings can be seen in person by calling the gallery at 805-730-1460.
