MOUNTAINVILLE, N.Y.-The special exhibition comprising more than eighty of Richard Bellamy’s photographs of the sculptures of Mark di Suvero and more than twenty works by di Suvero—some on public exhibition for the first time ever—just reopened at the Storm King Art Center, Mountainville, New York, for its second and final season. Richard Bellamy and Mark di Suvero is the first exhibition to bring together the work of these two close friends and, as the exhibition reveals, kindred spirits. The 2006 presentation will feature the premiere of three new large-scale works by di Suvero. Additionally, there will be several photographs by Richard Bellamy that were not on view in 2005.

From 1975 until his death in 1998, Richard Bellamy, a legendary art dealer and close friend of di Suvero, created what amounts to a personal photographic narrative of di Suvero’s work, taking pictures not only of finished sculptures installed at Storm King and at various locations in Europe, but also of the artist at work in his three studios and of the di Suvero team as they worked on installations around the world.

Organized by David R. Collens, director and curator of the Storm King Art Center, the exhibition will remain on view through November 15, the end of the 2006 Storm King season.
