“I’m like an ad for New York, really... I don’t think these paintings would’ve existed had I not moved back. It’s so much about being alive and allowing yourself to be affected by other people.”
Nicola Vassell is thrilled to announce PG-13, Pam Glick’s debut solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition showcases the first body of work Glick has produced since returning to live in New York City after a 30-year hiatus. Reflecting her recent forays into isolating stacks of color, these bold paintings engage with earlier works, in which vibrant swirling forms reveal an ongoing interest in the direction of movement and color across the picture plane.
Glick first emerged as a rising star of the raucous early 1980s New York art world. Working from a studio on East 7th Street and 2nd Avenue, she was at the epicenter of a boisterous community of avant-garde artists, exhibiting her work alongside George Condo and Jean Michel Basquiat. Glick’s first dealer, Jamie Wolff, championed other daring and influential voices, including Robert Gober and Christopher Wool, among many others.
