Suzanne Blank Redstone | Catching Light: Private View: 2-4pm, May 10, 2025
CLOSE Gallery celebrates Suzanne Blank Redstone at 80. Showcasing 6 decades of pioneering Modernist and Geometric work. Building from her celebrated 1960's Portal Series, Suzanne's practice continues to "explore how we see by creating environments that interact with light."
CLOSE Gallery is proud to present an extensive exhibition celebrating the work of Suzanne Blank Redstone in her 80th year.
Redstone, whose career spans over five decades, is an artist whose groundbreaking work - rooted in modernist principles and geometric abstraction - is finally receiving the recognition it deserves. This press release announces the upcoming exhibition of Redstone's iconic and unique work, Catching Light, and her international representation by the gallery.
Although Redstone is now in her 80s, her creative contributions are just as vital as ever, echoing the late-career achievements of pioneering female artists like Rose Wylie and Louise Bourgeois. Like these artists, Redstone has spent much of her career working outside the limelight, only to be fully recognized later in life for her dedication and innovation.
Raised in Queens, New York, Redstone earned a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania. Her artistic practice has long been influenced by the tenets of Bauhaus, which she encountered through the teachings of émigré artists such as Josef and Anni Albers. Albers’s philosophical approach to perception and space inspired Redstone’s deep focus on geometry, colour, and structure.
This rediscovery of Redstone’s work is part of a larger movement to recognise the contributions of female artists who have long been overshadowed by their male counterparts. Today, Redstone’s work stands as a testament to persistence, artistic integrity, and a lasting impact on the history of modern abstraction.
Redstone’s career continues to evolve, with recent public sculptural commissions in the UK. She remains committed to exploring light, space, and line, bridging the gap between modernist ideals and contemporary concerns. This exhibition is a pivotal moment in Redstone’s career, offering a deep insight into her artistic practice. It will engage viewers’ perceptions of light and its central role in her work, reinforcing her status as a key figure in geometric abstraction.
