After a brilliant showing at the Armory Show earlier this month, pt.2 is proud to present a group exhibition featuring the work of six monumental artists: Jay DeFeo, Martha Shaw, Mildred Howard, Robert Therrien, Squeak Carnwath, and Viola Frey. With deep connections to the Bay Area, these artists have laid the groundwork for generations of artists to come, forming the very foundations of contemporary art in the region. The works in the exhibition delve into the themes of support and underlying structures—both literal and metaphorical—that shape our understanding of art and the everyday. These artists, each with their distinct approach and medium, come together to explore the ordinary and the extraordinary.
