Nate Lowman: Homage to Jay DeFeo

For this evening’s program, artist Nate Lowman will present a live action painting performance as an homage to Jay DeFeo. Taking inspiration from the time-honored tradition of copying paintings in museums, Lowman will replicate a work currently on view in Jay DeFeo: A Retrospective, while opening up his own studio practice to the public. Like Delacroix and other artists who carefully copied Old Masters in the Louvre, Lowman’s process of close looking and careful preparation belie the feeling of spontaneity that permeates both DeFeo’s work and his own.











When: Fri., May. 17, 2013 at 6:30 pm
Where: Whitney Museum of American Art
99 Gansevoort St.
