Pat Steir: Painted Rain

Among the great innovators of contemporary painting, Pat Steir first came to prominence in the late 1970s and early 1980s for her iconographic canvases and immersive wall drawings. By the late 1980s, her inventive approach to painting-the rigorous pouring technique seen in her Waterfall works, in which she harnessed the forces of gravity and gesture to achieve works of astonishing lyricism-attracted substantial critical acclaim.
Rita Ackermann, Courtney Martin, Julie Mehretu, Kiki Smith and Martha Tuttle reflect on Steir's expressive power of her work as one of the most original and impactful contemporary painters.
Pat Steir’s first Los Angeles solo exhibition in over three decades, 'Painted Rain', is on view at our West Hollywood gallery 28 February - 4 May 2024.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die." From the film Blade runner.

The problem with this video is all those lesbianic worshipers of the old maid. What is important is her art and it should do all the talking on its own.
