Feeling Color: Aubrey Williams and Frank Bowling

Feeling Color: Aubrey Williams and Frank Bowling, organized by the Modern and Curator María Elena Ortiz, celebrates the work of two tour de force artists, exhibited together as a duo for the first time, and highlighting their respective contributions to the story of late-twentieth-century abstract painting. After leaving their native Guyana, South America, and though appearing to share similar territory in basing themselves in London, England, Williams and Bowling trod very separate paths in their respective artistic development and careers.

PLATFORM 
Continuing the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth’s commitment to collecting and exhibiting international art from the 1940s to today, the Museum is excited to launch Platform—a new exhibition initiative showing how artists and art histories from across the globe are connected. Illustrating a robust perspective on modern and contemporary art, Platform encompasses a series of artists whose works expand on the Modern’s international mission. Feeling Color: Aubrey Williams and Frank Bowling is the inaugural presentation, Platform 1, which showcases two integral artists within the canon of twentieth-century abstraction. The Platform series aims to create dynamic dialogues that embody the universal qualities and intersectionality of art, spanning geographic and national boundaries.
