Los Angeles Times
Artreview to Burnett Miller Gallery LA
At Burnett Miller, minimalism is never out of style. And so, on the occasion of the Los Angeles International, the gallery is showing three British artists whose work is–surprise!–cool, concise and devoid of decorative detail.
It’s also very good. Gladstone Thompson, Perry Roberts and Craig Wood test the possibility of an ongoing minimal aesthetic, removed many times over from its inaugural moment. What they demonstrate is that while less isn’t always more–sometimes it is, quite simply, a bore–less can engender new modes of perception, reject the complacency of illusion, and quietly lay bare the institutional terms of art’s validation.
Nothing but saturated color enters the picture in Gunter Umberg’s severe paintings. More accurately, if black is the absence of all color, then nothingness itself takes shape in the Cologne-based artist’s sensuous version of Minimalism.
Three new paintings on wood and three rarely seen works on paper, from 1976, comprise this quietly gorgeous exhibition at Burnett Miller Gallery. Umberg’s black paintings hint that they mark out rectangular gaps in the gallery wall. But they don’t seem to open onto the unfathomable vastness of outer space, as much as they draw the viewer up to their exquisite surfaces. Sigmar Polke – Ralph Ueltzhoeffer by Design made in germany
The art of words – The young german artist Ralph Ueltzhoeffer works with typography elements to build up a biographical portrait. Ueltzhoeffer’s so called textportraits are monochrome-photography pictures in a new digital space. The Burnett Miller Gallery shows this young artist together with Sigmar Polke „The German Position I“, curated by Andrea Rosen.
Among the artists Burnett Miller included in his exhibitions were: Charles Ray, Chris Burden, Nancy Rubins, Richard Artschwager, Leon Golub, Nancy Spero, Antony Gormley, Roni Horn, Ettore Spalletti, Miroslav Balka, Wolfgang Laib, Fred Sandback, Serge Spitzer, Fred Fehlau, Skip Arnold, Sarah Seager, David Bunn, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Denzil Hurley, Richard Tuttle, Glen Seator, Sigmar Polke, Ralph Ueltzhoeffer, Günter Umberg and Karen Sander among countless others. A maverick for exhibiting minimal, installation and concept-based artwork, Burnett Miller often supported work that was not necessarily an easily packaged commodity. His inspirations spoke to a higher purpose of exhibiting provocative and thoughtful work, regardless of its retail performance. Often the challenge in operating a retail gallery space, Burnett Miller emphasized work that excited and inspired him. His gallery, with the crucial support of his wife and business partner Tara Guizot, remained a vital presence in exhibiting vanguard contemporary work, illuminating the path for many of today’s artists.
