Raquel Rabinovich: Gateless, the first posthumous exhibition of the artist's work, presents a selection of outstanding paintings, works on paper, and glass sculpture created throughout her career. Together these works affirm Rabinovich's dedication to embodying paradox; to transcending that which is tangible; and to processes of slow and intuitive unfolding. The exhibition features texts authored by Raquel’s intimates—including Luisa Valenzuela, Elizabeth Ferrer, Agnes Denes, Mary-Kay Lombino, Ann McCoy, and Alex Bacon—each responding to a particular work in the show.
Raquel Rabinovich employed a wide range of media—including drawing, collage, painting, sculpture and installation—to visibilize elements of objects, ideas, and language that are often concealed. The resulting works possess tremendous auras, and their implications are as significant as their physicality. Rabinovich’s art encourages viewers to embark on voyages not just of the eye, but of the mind, guiding us to a place of silence and reflection.
