David Novros, Flavin Judd, and Matthew L. Levy at Judd Foundation

Please join Judd Foundation for a conversation with artist David Novros; Flavin Judd, Artistic Director at Judd Foundation; and art historian Matthew L. Levy in conjunction with the exhibition David Novros – Paintings, currently on view at 101 Spring Street. The three will discuss Novros’s work in painting across fresco and portable murals and the importance of place and permanence in his work. The conversation will be introduced by Caitlin Murray, Director of Archives and Programs at Judd Foundation and will include time for a Q&A with the participants. Register for the program HERE.

Matthew L. Levy is Associate Professor of Art History and Associate Director of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Penn State Behrend, where he teaches courses on modern and contemporary art. His book, Abstract Painting and the Minimalist Critiques: Robert Mangold, David Novros, and Jo Baer in the 1960s, was published by Routledge in 2019 and released in paperback in 2021. The book situates these painters within the discourses of Minimalism and rethinks the “death of painting” narratives that have been so influential to Minimalist historiography. He has written catalogue essays on artists including Robert Mangold, May Obering, and Julian Stanczak, and his art criticism has appeared in The Brooklyn Rail, Journal for Contemporary Painting, and ASAP/Journal. Levy is presently working on a book project about Novros’s murals and other site-specific projects.

David Novros – Paintings is free and open to the public on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 1:00 to 5:00pm through December 18.
