Mary Obering’s five monumental paintings that comprise this exhibition are on display for the first time since 1973, when they were selected by her longtime friend and champion, artist Carl Andre, to be shown at the newly-formed Artists Space.

The works in Window Series are composed of large stretched canvases overlaid with squares and rectangles of loose painted canvas tacked to the top stretcher bar, weighed down by gravity alone. The overlapping pieces of material create an illusion of receding space, suggestive of open window shutters.
