Mary Corse Is More Than a California Artist

Mary Corse has returned to the spotlight over the past few months, thanks in part to several exhibitions about the creative hotbed that was Los Angeles in the 1960s. In 2011 her pearlescent paintings were featured in "Venice in Venice," a satellite exhibition organized for the 54th Venice Biennale, "Pacific Standard Time: Crosscurrents in L.A. Painting and Sculpture" at the J. Paul Getty Museum, and "Phenomenal: California Light and Space" at the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego. New Yorkers can see Corse's work at the Guggenheim Museum, where one of her early canvases appeared in "Surface, Support, Process: The 1960s Monochrome" [closes today] or visit the Lehmann Maupin Gallery in Chelsea to bask in the quiet glow of her newest paintings [on view through March 10].
