Painting and Digital Video
Art collecting moguls Dorothy and Hebert Vogel personally amassed an extensive collection of contemporary art together as a couple starting with their first Picasso vase when they got engaged and have since added some 4,000 pieces to their estate. Without a venue to display the entire personal collection they have decided to disperse works of art to be exhibited in every state with the “Fifty Works for Fifty States” project, selecting a contemporarily relevant gallery or museum to temporarily house 50 selected works of art by various artists, including work from Joseph Nechvatal. Joseph’s work can be found at the group show “Herb and Dorothy: A Glimpse into Their Extraordinary Collection” at the Mississippi Museum of Art through September 12, 2010, open from 10-5 Tuesday-Saturday and noon-5 on Sunday.
Joseph is also having a solo exhibition entitled “Retinal Art Revisited: Story of the Eye” at Galerie Jean-Luc and Takako Richard in Paris. The show will hang September 4th-29th with gallery hours posted Tuesday-Saturday 11-7. The show will include paintings accompanied with digital video regarding the relationship between audio and visual during the creative process.
