JANUARY 2010

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved gallery artist and friend MICHAEL COOPER (1949–2010). Following a long and courageous battle with Leukemia, the artist died quietly at home on January 23, 2010.

Born in New York City and educated at Pratt Institute, MICHAEL COOPER began his career as a graphic designer, painter and illustrator.  However, it was Cooper’s pursuit of collage as a fine art that was paramount. His first solo exhibition of found object collages was held at O.K. Harris Gallery in 1976. Describing the work, a reviewer for The New Yorker wrote “small collages in which postage stamps, playing cards, Scrabble tiles … and other decorative oddments take what seem to be their predestined places in a given composition.”  Color and order lay at the heart of an obsessive practice of collecting that stretched over some thirty years.  In a process that he called “disciplining junk”, Cooper created meticulous monochromatic grids from evocative fragments of ephemera and used representative titles like Sixteen Red Things, Twenty-Five Silver Things, and One through Ten. His monochromes and numeric arrangements are at once rich in visual and cultural reference and coolly minimalist in their simplicity.

 “What is it about found objects that you find so appealing?” Michael Cooper was once asked. “I just like the idea of rescuing them from oblivion,” he responded.

ADDIE HERDER (1920 - 2009)

ADDIE HERDER was widely known as an artist''s artist.  While many of her contemporaries were filling enormous canvases with the barest minimum of pictorial adornment, Addie went her own way creating complex worlds and outlandish machines in spaces often no larger than twelve by ten inches.  The art critic, John Russell, declared that her small spaces had all of the pictorial interest of a Giorgione.  He wrote in the New York Times: "There is something addictive about the collage constructions of Addie Herder.  Once under their spell, we can''t see enough of them."
