Craig Starr Gallery

About the Presentation
Craig Starr Gallery will present Myron Stout’s (1908-1987) iconic black and white paintings and drawings, with marble sculptures from Cycladic culture, the Bronze Age civilization that flourished among the islands of the southern Aegean from 3,200 to 2,100 BC. Myron Stout & Cycladic Art is the second exhibition to explore Stout’s affinity for the Ancient Mediterranean on his artistic practice and includes eight Cycladic sculptures interspersed among three paintings and four drawings by Stout, ranging from the early-1950s to late-1970s.

About the Gallery
Craig Starr Gallery is an art gallery in New York City, located on the Upper East Side. Founded by Craig F. Starr in 2004 with the inaugural exhibition Jasper Johns: Numbers, the gallery specializes in Modern and Post-war American and European art. Craig Starr Gallery is committed to showcasing intellectually enriching, museum-quality exhibitions, and is consistently called a "jewel-box gallery" by critics. Its program includes art historical presentations, such as Eva Hesse and Sol LeWitt, Barnett Newman Paintings, and Jasper Johns: Crosshatch.

The gallery’s recent shows include Stanley Whitney Henri Matisse, Myron Stout and Cycladic Art, Ray Johnson: Paintings and Collages 1950-66, and Edward Hopper as Puritan. Many of these shows are composed of significant loans, made possible by the generosity of artists, collectors, foundations, and institutions, including Agnes Gund, Beth Rudin DeWoody, Emily Rauh Pulitzer, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum, and Art Institute of Chicago.

In addition to these loan shows, the gallery works directly with artists to curate focused exhibitions. Examples include Christo, Mel Bochner, Sylvia Plimack Mangold, Peter Halley, and Richard Serra.
