📝 Exhibition Description:

In collaboration with Jeffrey Deitch.
"The joint booth of Jeffrey Deitch and Michael Rosenfeld features Beauford Delaney, whose name many will recall from the Paris Noir exhibition at Centre Pompidou: the American painter moved to Paris in 1953 to escape the racism and homophobia of his home country. Paris as a refuge, Paris as a beacon of light—set against the new paintings by Alteronce Gumby. One could not imagine a better illustration of the idea of Paris as the capital of creativity and freedom."

—Thibaut Wychowanok in Numéro, translated from the French
Deemed a "perfect pairing" and "unmissable", the presentation reveals the timeless resonances between two artists committed to the material exploration of color and light. Happy to be back in Paris and exhibiting at the Grand Palais, Michael Rosenfeld states: "Jeffrey and I are thrilled to be working together again to present this natural pairing of two supremely talented artists. Seeing the work of Gumby and Delaney side by side is a true testament to the power of abstraction."
