Annely
Juda – A Celebration
25 May – 28 July 2007
In commemoration of its founder Annely Juda Fine Art is pleased to announce
a very special exhibition Annely Juda – A Celebration. The show
is a tribute to one of London’s most influential and respected 20th
century gallerists and will include 15 major and significant historical
paintings and sculptures among them works by Brancusi, Gabo, Picasso,
Pollock, Malevich, and Mondrian.
These works was originally sold by Annely Juda and they have been generously
loaned by their owners for the purpose of this show. They offer a summary
of the quality and importance of the work that Annely Juda exhibited for
almost 50 years as a gallery owner prior to her death in 2006. They will
be hung together in one room providing a unique opportunity to see such
a significant collection of abstract art with such an important historical
context – Russian Constructivism meets Abstract Expressionism, East
meets West.
In addition the exhibition includes sculptures, paintings and drawings
by 37 of the gallery’s contemporary and guest artists including
Anthony Caro, Christo, David Hockney, Leon Kossoff and David Nash.
The exhibition as a whole indicates the great breadth of Annely Juda’s
interest and at the same time the focus and integrity of her vision. It
is to be the first exhibition held in newly renovated and extended gallery
spaces on the 3rd and 4th floors at the gallery in 23 Dering Street thus
marking the Gallery’s commitment to continue the work of Annely
Juda with ground breaking and important exhibitions long into the future.
This is a chance to view masterpieces spanning 1916 – 2007 –
almost the exact life span of Annely Juda herself. A 144 fully illustrated
book accompanies the exhibition including colour reproductions of every
work, an essay by Art Historian Nobert Lynton and enlightening texts and
memories by six important museum directors: Nick Serota, Dr Katharina
Schmidt, Dr Volker Rattemeyer, Serge Lemoine, Steven Nash, Tadayasu Sakai.
Annely Juda was born in Kassel in 1914 and died in London in 2006.
