conTEMPorary is pleased to announce an exhibition of Mary Heilmann in conjunction with American Fine Arts. This show will launch the inauguration of the upstairs space also designed by Acconci Studio.

The abstractions of Heilmann are among the most distinct, arresting paintings being made today worldwide and not always fully recognized as such. A recently overheard comment summed it up: "Mary Heilmann is the Neil Young of Art."

States Heilmann: I have always derived tremendous inspiration for my work from architecture, so I am totally happy and honored to be able to see my work in the context of Kenny Schachter's new gallery designed by Vito Acconci.

Since the culture of "High Art" has become so huge and mainstream, it is exciting to have the chance to configure an exhibition in this alternative way.

I am including in this presentation other products of my studio practice...furniture, ceramics, fabric, as well as paintings. Hence the title: MARY HEILMANN HOME
