Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum-FIU presents “Addie Herder: Machines for Living”
The exhibition marks the first solo museum presentation of the artist’s work in nearly
The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum-FIU is opening its newest exhibition, Addie Herder: Machines for Living. One of three exhibitions opening for the museum’s fall slate, Machines for Living celebrates the dynamic small-scale abstractions of Addie Herder. This marks the first exhibition is solely devoted to Herder’s work since her 1976 survey at the Neuberger Museum of Art. Machines for Living features 50 collage constructions by Herder and was inspired by a donation by Alfred Allan Lewis to the Frost Art Museum of seven of her works. Works are on loan from public and private collections.
Through careful manipulation of found paper, Herder re-imagined form and meaning in her intricately crafted vignettes. The more intimate and delicate paper forms created by Herder oppose abstract expressionism and minimalism often privileged in large-scale works. She was an artist’s artist living in Paris and New York, working in the theatre making masks and stage sets. In the U.S., she included philanthropists Joseph Hirshhorn and Roy Neuberger among her collectors.
“Herder’s career was not loud, but her distinctive voice was understood and appreciated by many collectors. While art history often tends to focus on a few names, the Frost Art Museum is committed to expanding the narrative of 20th-century art through its presentation of Addie Herder. We feel fortunate to be the first institution to do so in almost half a century,” said Jordana Pomeroy, director of the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum. “For introducing us to the art of Addie Herder, we extend grateful thanks to Alfred Allan Lewis, a scholar of ‘not so gentle’ groundbreaking women. We are also fortunate to have generous support from Herder’s gallery Pavel Zoubok Fine Art.”
The launch of this exhibition is accompanied by the release of a full-color printed catalogue of the same title, with scholarly contributions that examine the artist’s intricate and intriguing “assemblage” constructions and ephemera, which bring her careful works to the present day. The catalogue is available for purchase in the museum and online.
The Frost will host an opening ceremony for all its fall exhibitions on October 7, 2023 from 3 to 6p.m. The event takes place at the Frost Art Museum, located at 10975 SW 17th St. and is free and open to the public.
