The Instructors Exhibition 2013

The Instructors Exhibition 2013
September 3–22, 2013
Phyllis Harriman Mason Gallery
The Art Students League of New York

The Art Students League of New York has customarily opened every exhibition season with a show of work by its instructors. Walter Shirlaw presented studies and paintings from his European travels, in October 1882, that appeared alongside works by William Sartain, C.Y. Tuner, J. Carroll Beckwith, and Thomas Dewing. A few years later, William Merritt Chase offered students a preview of recent paintings he intended for a solo show at the Boston Art Club. During the late nineteenth century, special exhibitions of instructors’ works, put up for only a night, encouraged attendance at the school’s monthly member meetings. Though informal, these “artistic conversazioni,” observed a writer in Scribner’s Monthly, had “quite an impressive gravity of tone.”

The Instructors Exhibition 2013 includes work by over eighty artists who teach in the League’s main building on West 57th Street and at the Residency at Vyt, in Rockland County. Here one can glimpse craftsmanship and high concept in a wide swath of media: oil, acrylic, encaustic, gouache, watercolor, bronze, stone, terra cotta, forged steel, graphite, digital photographs, and various print processes.
