Lynne Mapp Drexler was an American abstract and figurative artist, painter and photographer. In the 1950s she was an abstract expressionist and was considered one of the most important representatives of this artistic movement together with Jane Freilicher, Lois Dodd and Jane Wilson. Drexler's vivid chromatic compositions reflect a range of stylistic influences far broader than abstract Expressionism and draw on Impressionism, Fauvism and Pointillism. Executed through tessellated quadrangles of paint, the artist's color fields exude an organic and kinetic dynamism. Since her death in 1999, her works are now in the collections of the most important museums in the world such as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Brooklyn Museum, the MoMA in New York and the National Gallery of Art in Washington. This exhibition is the first major monographic exhibition dedicated to Drexler in Europe.
