Black Mountain College: The Experimenters

David Zwirner Gallery, London
28 February–15 April, 2023


Black Mountain College: The Experimenters brings together works by a group of artists whose groundbreaking career trajectories were informed by the rich visual and intellectual innovations that emerged around Black Mountain College, the famed experimental liberal arts school in rural North Carolina. The exhibition features work by artists who overlapped at Black Mountain in the mid- to late 1940s, including Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Leo Amino, Ruth Asawa, Elaine de Kooning, Willem de Kooning, Buckminster Fuller, and Ray Johnson, as well as figures such as Sue Fuller and Sheila Hicks, who studied with and befriended members of this group.
