Prior to traveling to St. Louis, Action/Abstraction opened May 4 at The Jewish Museum in New York. The Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, N.Y., is the exhibition�s third and final venue. Action/Abstraction features more than 50 key works that were carefully chosen from major institutions and collections throughout the U.S. and abroad, including major masterpieces by Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, as well as Helen Frankenthaler, Arshile Gorky, Philip Guston, Hans Hofmann, Jasper Johns, Lee Krasner, Norman Lewis, Barnett Newman, Ad Reinhardt, David Smith, Frank Stella and Clyfford Still. Viewed from the perspective of influential, rival art critics Clement Greenberg and Harold Rosenberg, these works propose a fresh look at the painting and sculpture that transformed the art world in the years following World War II�a period when abstraction emerged as a dominant means of artistic expression. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

Translations Gallery, Denver, CO USA United States of America Norwegian fiber artist Bente Vold Klausen creates work with imagery that reflects contemporary society and her culture. Her new work is inspired by problems concerning the environment including climate changes and threats to the rainforests and the people living in them. One of her favorite Norwegian authors, Gert Nygaardshaug, writes about this theme, and the mood and temper in his books also inspired her new works. She uses various fiber art techniques such as dying, printing and painting along with her signature stitching patterns to produce texture, movement and three-dimensional effects. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com
