OVERVIEW :

The gallery also holds works by other influential Mid-Century abstract painters including John McLaughlin, Frederick Hammersley, Roger Kuntz, June Harwood, and Ynez Johnston. A stable of contemporary artists including Richard Wilson and Mark Leonard along with sculptors Knopp Ferro and Cecilia Miguez and photographers Magali Nougarède and Jean-Francois Spricigo supplement the gallery's historic program. In addition to its exhibition program, Louis Stern Fine Arts has had a long and successful involvement in the secondary market, with a special concentration in Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, Modern and Latin American art.

ABOUT EXHIBITION : Private Values
Louis Stern Fine Arts presents a series of rarely seen works by Doug Ohlson (1936-2010), created during 1969 and the first half of the 1970s. The paintings, consisting of brilliant orbs of brushed and aerosol paint that hover on richly colored backgrounds, represent a transitional phase in the artist's career. Acting as a vehicle for his developing investigations of chromatic relationships, these process-based works facilitated Ohlson's changing focus to color as his primary subject matter.
