NOW ON VIEW

ELAINE DE KOONING X ERIC HAZE:

MEMORY IMAGE

The Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center and the Elaine de Kooning House partner to present the installation Elaine de Kooning x Eric Haze: Memory Image at the Pollock-Krasner House. Viewings will be held on March 15 and April 05, 2025.

The genesis of this exhibition began in 1972, when a ten-year-old Haze and his younger sister sat for a portrait to have their portrait painted by de Kooning. While in the studio, de Kooning provided Haze with a set of paints and instructed him in the creation of two abstract canvases. In 2020, long since having established himself as a leading street artist and graphic designer, Haze revisited this childhood memory during his residency at the Elaine de Kooning House. The paintings he made during this residency recall those nascent marks, repetitions of the childhood abstractions in graphic grayscale, charting the genealogy of a gesture over fifty years.

Visitors will have three public opportunities to view the installation. The exhibition will be on view during the Member’s Jazz Night event on Saturday, March 15 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm and during a free-to-the-public Open House on Saturday, April 05 from 11:30 am to 4:30 pm.

Eric Haze will deliver a special artist talk on Saturday, April 05 at 6:00 pm. To purchase tickets, click below!
