About this exhibition

About the exhibition

Lawrence Alloway’s exhibition examined painting built around deliberate systems and recurring formal decisions. Participants included Agnes Martin, Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Mangold, Kenneth Noland and Robert Ryman. An installation photograph documents Neil Williams’s Sartorial Habits of Billy Bo and Frank Stella’s Wolfeboro IV, showing the works within the practical process of assembling the exhibition.
