Claire Falkenstein: An Expansive Universe
February 18 – April 28, 2012

“Claire Falkenstein: An Expansive Universe” will launch the publication of a monograph, “Claire Falkenstein” (1908-1997), with essays by art historians Susan M. Anderson and Maren Henderson, art writer and critic Michael Duncan, and an introduction by Philip Linhares, Chief Curator of Art at the Oakland Museum of California. The exhibition will feature the artist’s sculpture and rarely seen paintings. Following an earlier exhibition in November 2011, at Jack Rutberg Fine Arts, of intimate works in small scale, this exhibition will present the artist in larger form, revealing Falkenstein’s ability to move sculpture to non-traditional realms, whereby she incorporates and suggests both the expansiveness of form, as well as the compression of space. The works reveal a prescient fascination with the expanding possibilities of chance and choice and how that parallels current views of our own expanding universe. 

Ruth Weisberg - Now & Then
February 18 – April 28, 2012

Ruth Weisberg’s paintings and works on paper explore issues of personal identity through the convergence of art history, personal memory, and cultural experience. Weisberg’s contribution in L.A. also extends to her work as a teacher and former Dean at the University of Southern California. Major exhibitions include Weisberg’s 1979 survey exhibition at the Los Angeles Municipal Gallery, and subsequent institutions throughout the U.S. and Europe. Weisberg was the first contemporary painter ever exhibited at the Huntington Library, and she was afforded the same distinction at the Norton Simon Museum. Weisberg has had over 80 solo and 185 group exhibitions. Her work is included in sixty major Museum collections including The Getty Research Center, Los Angeles; LACMA; The Art Institute of Chicago; The Biblioteque Nationale of France, Paris; Istituto Nationale per la Grafica, Rome; Detroit Institute of Arts; The Norwegian National Museum, Oslo; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; National Gallery, Washington, D.C. and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
