Mary Heilmann, Maricopa Highway, acrylic on canvas, 42 x 42 x 1 ½ inches, 2015.
Mary Heilmann at 303 Gallery
Mary Heilmann’s paintings lead viewers down the road, but a scattering of brightly colored chairs designed by the artist and installed in Chelsea’s 303 Gallery invites us to stay a while. Titled Maricopa Highway, this painting ignores the view to either side of this scenic California roadway, instead taking us straight into a washy blue heavens. (Through Dec 19th).
