This joint exhibition of Carol Ross and Ann Wilson offers the New York public a rare dialog—and the first opportunity to encounter Wilson's work in over two decades.

Following their own inner logic and timing, both Carol Ross and Ann Wilson exist parallel to mainstream American art. Carol Ross was a painter until 1992, when she made her first metal sculptures and plywood reliefs.

Ann Wilson, starting with her critically acclaimed quilt-paintings at the end of the 1950's, went on to create sculptures, collages and paintings, then became widely known, during the 1970's, for her stage designs, assemblages, performances and installations.

In spite of the diversity of their techniques and mediums, Carol Ross's and Ann Wilson's works represent a coherent and harmonious whole.

At first glance, both evoke the tradition of geometric abstractions, but looking at them closely, one realizes that, in fact, they are distancing themselves from the authoritative and relentless tone of abstract geometric art.
