One Artist, Several Scenes
By ROBIN POGREBIN
The artist Robert Ryman moved to New York in the early 1950s to play jazz, spent seven years as a guard at the Museum of Modern Art and came to realize that painting was his calling. White-on-white paintings became his signature, but Mr. Ryman is also known for works consisting of multiple panels. Now a series of these are on view at Pace’s Chelsea gallery in New York through Oct. 26. The show, “Recent Paintings,” includes nine works from 2010 and 2011 as well as a 10-panel painting, “No Title Required 3” (2010). Pace calls Mr. Ryman’s “No Title Required” series his “most monumental multiple panel work to date.” (508 West 25th Street, 212-989-4258, pacegallery.com)
