Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts is pleased to announce the debut exhibition of The Line of Beauty, opening April 20th, 2006. Inspired by the title and theme of Alan Hollinghurst’s acclaimed novel, the show features a collection of work that celebrates the intriguing ability of line to organize, illuminate and horrify. Selected works by: Audry Liseron-Monfils, Tracy Miller, Nicola Durvasula, William Scott, Colter Jacobsen, Angelina Gualdoni, Craig Love, Wade Guyton, Patrick McMullen, Kelly McLane, Gabriel Orozco, David LaChapelle, Gerber, Mike Kelly, Gert and Owe Tobias, Holly Collins, Mark Chamberlain, Patrick Lee, Scott Treleaven, Charles Goldman, Carlos de Villasante, and Kim Dorland.

Hollinghurst uses linear images to track the development of his protagonist, Nick, a young gay man searching for social identity in 1980’s England. The journey begins in the “wide tireless streets” of Kensington Park Gardens, where Nick, “raked by sun,” walks by “two white terraces [that] stare at each other with the glazed tolerance of rich neighbors.” Here, Hollinghurst extracts lines that we habitually encounter in nature, compares them visually, and then explains their ability to take on various qualities; in this case lonely, blinding and pretentious. Similarly, the exhibition examines the omnipotent properties of line. Together, the selected works show that line is infinite yet simple, elemental yet complicated by its specific purpose.

In conjunction with Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts, Architecture Information, 526 West 26th Street, Suite 422 is pleased to announce the opening of a related exhibition of selected photographs. Opening Reception: April 20, 2006, 6-8pm *Opening reception cocktails will be provided by Campari
