Around The Rose: Artists Reflect on Jay DeFeo | Live from the Whitney

Mar 17, 2022

For eight years of her life, between 1958 and 1966, Jay DeFeo made her most well-known work, The Rose. With nearly two thousand pounds of paint layered onto the canvas, DeFeo thought of The Rose as a “marriage between painting and sculpture” and it is emblematic of her innovative approach to artmaking throughout her career.

This program, organized in collaboration with the Jay DeFeo Foundation, brings together a group of contemporary artists to reflect on Jay DeFeo’s work through the lens of her most extraordinary work. Speakers include Tishan Hsu, Justine Kurland, Park McArthur, and Erin Jane Nelson. Jane Panetta, Nancy and Fred Poses Curator and Director of the Collection, moderates the conversation.
