Upstate New York based artist Adam Pendelton brings his Black Dada paintings to MoMa and signs on with the powerful Pace gallery. At the age of 28, he's the youngest person to do so since the 1970s
Mr. Pendleton’s Black Dada paintings each contain a partial view, usually a corner, of a starkly rectilinear three dimensional object, accompanied by a single letter or two. The letters, which all derive from the phrase “Black Dada,” something that becomes more apparent when the paintings are arranged in large grids, usually suggest a word—for instance, “D A” or “L C K”—but never spell it out completely. The objects depicted are actually details of the famous cube sculptures by the late minimalist Sol LeWitt.source: GalleristNY
