About the Exhibition
The Parrish Art Museum will present an exhibition of the work of James Howell (American, 1935–2014), an artist known for his minimalist paintings that explore the vast tonal range of the color gray. Over the course of his fifty-year career, he produced paintings, prints, and drawings that explore the subtlety and scope of the neutral shade, as well as its relationship to light and perception of space. This will be the first exhibition of Howell’s work on Long Island, a place that deeply impacted the artist’s later career. Between 2006 and his death, Howell worked out of his studio in Montauk, where the everchanging nature of the elements—fog, water, and light—provided fresh inspiration for his decades-long fascination with the seemingly infinite array of grays.
Endless Limits: The Work of James Howell, 1962–2014 will be accompanied by a fully illustrated exhibition catalogue published by Hatje Cantz. The publication will provide insight into the artist’s meticulous working methods and his relationship to the East End.
Endless Limits: The Work of James Howell, 1962–2014 is co-organized by Kaitlin Halloran, Associate Curator and Publications Manager, and Scout Hutchinson, Associate Curator of Exhibitions.
