Kalm presents this program for hard-core Forrest Bess fans only. As
one of the most mythic and eccentric American painters of the Twentieth
Century, Forrest Bess (1911-1977) exerts a force over contemporary art
that is hard to measure. Working in isolation and on a small scale, he
was nonetheless able to garner the attentions of critical and art world
heavyweights. With his inclusion in the Whitney Biennial of 2012, in an
installation curated by Robert Gober, and the presentation of a cache
of mostly late paintings from Texas, this program records over
twenty-six minutes of paintings, possibly documenting twenty-five
percent of his life's output.
