Rosenberg & Co. is pleased to present The Shape of Things: American Abstract Art. The Shape of Things brings together nine artists working in the United States across the middle decades of the twentieth century, each represented here by two works. What unites them is a shared commitment to the formal — to color as structure, shape as language, and composition as a kind of thinking. Across painting, collage, and construction, these artists found that geometry could carry feeling, and that abstraction was not a retreat from the world but a new way of seeing it.
About Rosenberg & Co.
Paul Rosenberg’s space at 21 rue la Boétie flourished in the 1920s and 1930s. During this time, the dealer exclusively represented numerous artists, including Georges Braque, Marie Laurencin, Fernand Léger, André Masson, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso, whom Rosenberg represented for over two decades. In 1935 he opened a second space in London to attract a growing international audience.
