CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS.- The Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts presents "Some Options in Realism" with artists Louise Bourgeois, Gregory Crewdson, Tim Gardner, Todd Hido, Catherine Murphy, Elizabeth Peyton, Richard Phillips, Jenny Saville, Collier Schorr, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Wayne Thiebaud, and Charlie White. The exhibition was curated by Klaus Kertess and the students from VES 99. It will be on view through April 14, 2002. Some Options in Realism is the second of two shows exploring the themes of abstraction and realism, and the porous borders between them. Amongst the artists to be included are Wayne Thiebaud, Louise Bourgeois, Gregory Crewdson, Todd Hido, Elizabeth Peyton, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Jenny Saville, Tim Gardner, and Charlie White --- moving from the manipulated “realism” of photographers like Sugimoto to such photo-based painters as Tim Gardner to the rich painterly disjunctions of Thiebaud’s landscapes to the near abstract surrealistically contorted figures of Louise Bourgeois. The exhibition will be installed in the ground floor gallery of Le Corbusier’s Carpenter Center and will be accompanied by a fully illustrated brochure with text by Klaus Kertess who curated this exhibition together with the students in his senior seminar.
