David Zwirner is pleased to announce Five Paintings, a selection of exceptional works by the late painter Frank Moore (1953–2002) drawn from an important private European collection. For this exhibition, five paintings and four works on paper will be on view at the 34 East 69th Street gallery. Made in the artist’s downtown New York studio and in his upstate home in Deposit, New York, these jewel-like pictures are among the best known that Moore created in his brief lifetime and among the most documented—portraying entire ecosystems within their inventive frames, which serve to extend the artwork’s confines beyond the support.
Frank Moore: Five Paintings follows the 2021 presentation of the artist’s work organized by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author, critic, and curator Hilton Als, which was part of More Life, a focused series of curated solo exhibitions shown at David Zwirner on the fortieth anniversary of the ongoing HIV/AIDS crisis.
