Continuing its tradition of illuminating scholarship on modern and contemporary painting, Jack Rutberg Fine Arts presents one of its most ambitious exhibition pairings to date. On the eve of MoCA's landmark survey of 20th century master Arshile Gorky's legacy, Rutberg assembles from his considerable resources a rarely exhibited group of Gorky's drawings — offering intimate insight into the personal creative processes of one of art history's most towering figures. In the main gallery, Patrick Graham, a major voice in contemporary painting and a veritable living legend of Irish modern art, presents new paintings and drawings along with selected works of the last three decades.

Los Angeles, CA - Jack Rutberg Fine Arts will present two timely and concurrent exhibitions in Los Angeles opening May 22. Monumental paintings and drawings by Patrick Graham, widely regarded as Ireland's most important contemporary artist, will be featured in a major exhibition of his most recent works as well as a number of his most iconic, large-scale paintings of the last 25 years. Also shown will be a rare exhibition of drawings by Arshile Gorky (1904-1948), the Armenian-born artist; one of the 20th century's most important painters and seminal forces of American modern and contemporary art. Both exhibitions will open May 22, with Patrick Graham in attendance, in a much-anticipated appearance in Los Angeles.
