Ken Price Presents 'Slow and Steady Wins the Race, Works on Paper 1962-2010', Thru 8/18

This exhibition marks the first survey of drawings by Ken Price, an artist best known for his sculptural work. A selection of 65 works on paper will track Price's pursuit of drawing over 50 years and will demonstrate a wide range of characters and techniques. This exhibition will open concurrently on June 18 with the Metropolitan Museum of Art's presentation of the traveling retrospective of Price's sculpture that originated at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

The Drawing Center SoHo gallery is the only nonprofit exhibition space in the United States to focus solely on the exhibition of works on paper. Every year the center presents four group exhibitions emphasizing the work of emerging artists and one historical exhibition that highlights the work of acknowledged masters and less celebrated artists whose work merits greater attention. Historical exhibitions have included The Prinzhorn Collection: Trace Upon the Wunderblock; Drawings from the Albertina: Landscape in the Age of Rembrandt; Guercino: Drawings from Windsor Castle; Seeing Through Paradise: Artists and the Terezin Concentration Camp; Odilon Redon and Charles Burchfield: The Sacred Woods. The center also offers literary readings for both adults and children by notable authors such as Richard Price, Mary Gaitskill, Amy Hempel, Paul Auster and Edward Albee. The center is on the ground floor of a building with a cast-iron façade typical of the neighborhood.
