Stanley Whitney: How High the Moon

It takes but an instant with Whitney’s work to appreciate the value of gesture and line. The quality of active, energized mark-making runs through the show like a current of electricity. It seems to be there from the start, and in a way it was, but it isn’t truly charged until the artist has an epiphany in the printmaking workshop of Robert Blackburn. When he lays ink down on mylar, it retains his touch.
