For 50 years Lydia

For 50 years, Lydia Okumura has explored the possibilities of geometric abstraction. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Her signature style, which juxtaposes delicate materials such as string and graphite pencil against walls and floors, challenges our perception of space and blurs distinctions between dimensions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The above installation view of @GaleriaJaquelineMartins’s Miami Beach 2019 booth features Okumura’s ‘Untitled I, Medellin Biennial, Colombia’ (1981), from ‘The Appearance’ series, which debuted in 1976 in NYC. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In addition to the São Paulo-born, New York-based artist, the gallery also presented new works by American artist Robert Barry, pictured on the right. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lydiaokumura #galeriajaquelinemartins #geometricabstraction #installationart #abstractminimalism #contemporaryart #artbasel #artbaselmiami #artbaselmiamibeach
