Beginning today, April 24th, 2014, Dominique Lévy and Galerie Perrotin will jointly present Pierre Soulages, the first American exhibition in ten years devoted to the most significant and internationally recognized living artist of France.

Beginning April 24th, 2014, Dominique Levy and Galerie Perrotin will jointly present Pierre Soulages, the first American exhibition in ten years devoted to the most significant and internationally recognized living artist of France. The show will fill the historic landmark building at 909 Madison Avenue where both galleries reside, presenting a group of new large-scale paintings that reveal the rigor and atemporal power of a 94-year old master known as "the painter of black and light." Born in 1919, Soulages is among the few artists still at work from the explosive postwar period when New York City emerged as the center of the art world, the place where American innovation and European traditions collided and coalesced into a new dominant school of gestural painting. By juxtaposing Soulages' revelatory recent paintings with a group of his important postwar works, Pierre Soulages will highlight profound inter-connections between Europe and America in modern and contemporary art while challenging certainties on the subject.

There aren't that many honest plays about theatre. Whatever goes on behind the curtains, backstage, in a rehearsal room, at an audition - is usually a hush-hush no-go zone. We have seen hundreds of carefully edited versions of that on TV thanks to the tear jerking X Factor and the like, but do we know what an actor feels going into that room to face their fears, what the director is really looking for when casting for a play? 'The Audition' is partly the answer to those questions and partly a disturbing theory of what theatre looks like from the inside. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production in the photos below!
