Frederick Hammersley is showing at Charlotte Jackson Fine Art in Santa Fe. The show, subtitled "Hard Edge," is a retrospective of Hammersley's work, showcasing work from the fifties, sixties, and seventies. Hammersley experimented a great deal not only with abstraction but with the new technology of computers, (in particular the 14000 CORE IBM from the University of New Mexico's main frame). In the late sixties the computer was a new and exciting medium and it is interesting to see a large installation of primitive computer compositions. The hard edged oil paintings of the seventies are the strongest works in the show but the small works on paper from the fifties are more experimental and varied.
There is a good collection of artwork to satisfy one's interest in color and space. "Hard Edge" runs until July 30th. Don't miss this fine exhibit which spans Frederick Hammersley's career.
