For over three decades, Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe’s paintings have at once embodied and challenged the conventions of late-modernist abstraction, evincing a concern for the optimization of the sensate pleasures of color and surface and making his work a vital progenitor of the New Abstraction. Recent exhibition venues include the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo (New York), and the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich (Germany). In 2006, the Ulrich Museum at Wichita State University exhibited a large survey of his work. He has authored two books of art criticism: Beyond Piety: Critical Essays on the Visual Arts, 1986–1993 (1995) and Beauty and the Contemporary Sublime (2000). Awards include fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation as well as the Frank Jewett Mather Award from the College Art Association. Gilbert-Rolfe is currently Director of Graduate Studies at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena (California).
