A deeply talented creative life cut short...on Jul A deeply talented creative life cut short...on July 10, 1972 #LibbieMark passed away from lung cancer at age 66 in New York City, leaving many #AbstractExpressionist artworks in her family’s possession, and countless others in public and private collections. A true innovator with her beautifully textured and complexly-colored collage painting technique, Libbie Mark really hit her artistic stride in the 1960s, after studying with Vaclav Vytlacil at the Art Students League and Hans Hofmann in Provincetown.The Libbie Mark Provincetown Fund, in partnership with gallery #BerryCampbell, tell Mark’s story to ensure that more attention is paid to her and other important yet underrecognized female artists.One of the ways Libbie’s legacy carries on is though her representation in public and private collections.

If you haven’t seen the beautiful, colorful and textural #AbstractExpressionist collage paintings at the gallery, go this week before it is too late.“...the painterly language of New York Action Painting is broached in a way where paint cohabits the surface with paper in energetic bursts of color, energy, and tactility.” -Liam Otero / @Artstigator“Libbie Mark: Abstract Expressionist”

524 W 26th Street, NY 10001Berry Campbell presents Libbie Mark: Abstract Expressionist, focusing on Mark’s “collage paintings” from the 1960s. Working between New York and Provincetown, Mark developed a singular, experimental approach to painting, creating works distinguished by their rich materiality, tactile surfaces, and sophisticated color relationships, merging painterly gesture with collage-based construction, positioning her work within the broader experimental currents of postwar abstraction.Though largely overlooked during her lifetime, Mark was deeply engaged with the artistic milieu of the postwar New York School. While studying at the Art Students League in the late 1950s, she attended Hans Hofmann’s final Provincetown summer session in 1957, an experience that proved formative to the evolution of her practice. By the early 1960s, Mark had developed her richly textured “collage paintings” that became her signature, combining gestural abstraction with layered surfaces constructed from crumpled paper, pigment, and impasto.In 1962, Knapik Gallery presented Mark’s first and only solo exhibition during her lifetime, Libbie Mark: Paintings and Collages. In reviews in ARTnews and Manhattan East, critics noted the works’ “color brilliance” and “vividly sensuous response to visual experience,” recognizing Mark’s key balance between spontaneity and control within her compositions. Mark later exhibited with the Vectors group, an important collective of artists active in New York throughout the 1960s.Today, renewed attention has positioned Mark among a generation of women artists whose contributions to Abstract Expressionism and postwar painting are only now being more fully reconsidered.
