Art Division is pleased to present HEADS, a presentation of portraiture in various media, curated by Luis Serrano and Dan McCleary.
HEADS is inspired by the 1991 exhibition, Head On/The Modern Portrait, curated by artist Chuck Close for the Museum of Modern Art, New York, which featured over 170 works of art culled from the museum’s permanent collection, and explored the various ways that artists build portrait images.
Artists Luis Serrano and Dan McCleary both visited the show in 1991 when it traveled from New York to the Lannan Foundation in Marina del Rey and were captivated by the endless ways of interpreting the human head. Art Division: HEADSis their curatorial response to that experience, and presents diverse depictions of the expressive faces that surround us in our daily lives. In the spirit of the MoMA show, which placed work by modern masters alongside lesser-known artists in an extremely dense arrangement, HEADS includes work by historically recognized artists, together with work by Art Division students, creating a fresh dialogue between artists of different backgrounds and genres.
