Vito Schnabel’s Ron Gorchov retrospective, curated by Robert Storr, Exploring the Near/Far Painterly Horizons of Modern Space, excavates works from the late artist’s studio, punctuating them with some of Gorchov’s most important saddle-shaped canvases. Although Gorchov’s works are not presented historically, the show is a monumental tour through his oeuvre, affirming that his name ought to resound alongside post-painterly abstractionists like Frank Stella, Ronald Davis, and Jules Olitski.
