Over the course of seven decades, Ed Clark’s experimentations with pure color, abstract form, and the seductive materiality of paint have yielded an oeuvre of remarkable originality, extending the language of American abstraction. Clark is regarded as a pioneer of the New York School and a formative addition to the group of abstract artists working in the post-war era. According to Ed, “all great artists can only do what they esteem to be right. No matter how it appears at first, it will always be beautiful.”
