BEACHWOOD, OHIO — Wolfs is presenting the exhibition and sale titled “Andres 2.0: Selected Works 1975-1990,” featuring the works of the Cleveland School’s premier Abstract Expressionist Richard Andres (1927-2013). The exhibition and sale has an opening on Friday, April 12, from 5:30 to 8 pm, and will be on view until June 29.

“Andres 2.0” is a big statement, said the gallery. In June 2022, Wolfs exhibited the first of the two large troves of Andres’ Abstract Expressionist work, offering an introduction to this talented, gentle man. And now with this, the gallery’s second exhibition, featuring lush, powerful and mature paintings done mostly after 1975, Wolfs endeavors to complete a comprehensive examination of Richard Andres the artist.

“Andres belongs to that special breed of painter that tumbled on to abstraction in the glory days of the New York School and never since wavered about what Twentieth Century painting should be. He’s one of the stalwarts who never gave in to trendy pop, op and minimalist movements or the return to the figure,” said Helen Cullinan, art critic. “Abstract endures as his style.” “Not many painters know how to pull off paintings of this scale that don’t have weak spots. Perhaps the essence of Richard Andres’s achievement is that he made paintings that reward careful study, and that don’t disclose all their secrets at first glance. They’re fun to look at on one’s first encounter: they’re even more interesting when you return to them,” said Henry Adams.

Wolfs is open Tuesday-Saturday, 11 am to 5 pm. Wolfs is at 23645 Mercantile Road. For additional information, www.wolfsgallery.com or 216-721-6945.
