Mel Bochner Numbers, 1966–2001

at Lawrence Markey
New York, NY

November 10–December 15 , 2001

Lawrence Markey Gallery is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition of works by Mel Bochner.

The art of Mel Bochner examines the systems, procedures, language and symbols we routinely use to grasp the external world.

This exhibition brings to light the great range of media one finds in Bochner’s work, in a career spanning 35 years.

For this exhibition, Bochner draws from works using such varied materials as stones and chalk on the floor, oil painting on canvas, masking tape & ink pen on the wall, and photography. To Count: Intransitive, 1972, consists of numbers drawn by Bochner through soap on the three windows of the gallery.

Employing these and other means, Mel Bochner, one of the true pioneers of what has become known as Conceptual Art, contemplates the simplest cognitive strategies involving numbers and counting.
