The Studio Museum in Harlem’s “Stanley Whitney: Dance the Orange” exhibit features twenty-eight works created between 2008-2015.
Stanley Whitney has been exploring the formal possibilities of colour within ever-shifting grids of multi-hued blocks and all-over fields of gestural marks and passages, since the mid-1970s. His current motif, honed over many years, is the stacked composition of numerous saturated colour fields, delineated by between three to five horizontal bands running the length of a square-formatted canvas.
