Julian Schnabel

The story of how a man who could only move one eyelid learned to communicate and to 'dictate' his autobiography by blinking.

Pace Gallery is pleased to present 'The Patch of Blue the Prisoner Calls the Sky'. The exhibition features thirteen recent paintings by the artist. The show will be on view at 540 West 25th Street from March 6 - April 18, 2020, with an opening reception on Thursday, March 5 from 6 - 8 PM. An essay by James Nares, titled The Patch of Blue the Prisoner Calls the Sky, will accompany the exhibition.0These works catalogue the possibilities of how and what to paint, revealing a new way of looking at the world that blurs the line between representation and configuration. As Nares explains, "These paintings represent the evidence of their own autonomy. They are metaphoric in an open way, not to interpretation as image but as underlying principles and facets of nature." Exhibition: Pace Gallery, New York, USA (06.03-18.04.2020)
