The Contemporary Landscape

I came across this exhibition notice from Art News summer 2007. The show was at the Forum Gallery in New York June-August 2007. It included the following artists:
Robert Bauer, William Beckman, Stephen Brown, James Butler, Davis Cone, Linden Frederick, Gregory Gillespie, Peter Krausz, Holly Lane, David Levine, Craig mcPherson, Brian Rutenberg, Bernardo Siciliano, and Tula Telfair.

One of these artists, Bernardo Siciliano, recieved an unflattering review when his work was included in another show at the Forum Gallery, Urban Views.

In an interview by Nick Smith, artist Brian Rutenberg describes his views on the importance of abstract painting. Rutenberg's abstract landcape paintings were in a show at the Forum Gallery in 2005 entitled, Carolina.

In February 2007 The Forum Gallery in LA hosted a landscape show entitled Modern and Contemporary Landscape.
