For Frieze Masters, Van Doren Waxter highlights the work of Romanian-American artist Hedda Sterne within a curated exhibition that emphasizes the gallery's specialization in Post-War American abstraction. A selected group of abstract works from the Hedda Sterne Foundation, forms the core of the presentation. This focused grouping draws attention to the long and varied oeuvre of this important yet still under-recognized artist, which has been highlighted by her prominent inclusion in recent museum exhibitions, including the re-installation of The Museum of Modern Art; Epic Abstraction at The Metropolitan Museum of Art; Crossroads at The Carnegie Museum of Art; and The Whitney's Collection, From 1900 – 1965 at The Whitney Museum of American Art. The selection presented in the viewing room features work from the 1980s, including canvases which reveal her singular and visionary abstraction. Sterne's paintings are contextualized by artists from the gallery's stable of estates, foundations, and specialized inventory. They include Willem de Kooning, Richard Diebenkorn, Moira Dryer, John McLaughlin, Elizabeth Murray, Harvey Quaytman, Alan Shields, and Jack Tworkov.
