Skarstedt

About the Gallery
Skarstedt was founded in 1992 by Per Skarstedt to present a program of museum-level exhibitions by contemporary European and American artists. Recognized for its critically acclaimed historical exhibitions, Skarstedt works closely with artists and estates to re-unite seminal bodies of work and offer focused surveys of pivotal moments in the history of twentieth-century art. Representing some of the most celebrated artists of their generations, Skarstedt also mounts ground-breaking exhibitions of new work, which continue to challenge the boundaries of contemporary identity.

About the Presentation
Skarstedt and Nahmad Contemporary will bring together a curated selection of works by French artist Georges Rouault, a remarkable figure of 20th-century Modernism whose work resonates in this moment. A contemporary of Fauvism, Cubism, and Expressionism, Rouault never formally associated with any of these movements. Often considered a religious painter, he expressed the spiritual and moral dimensions of human experience through a unique visual language that recalls stained glass, with luminous colors defined by thick black outlines.
