The Eyes of Rodolfo Abularach: A Selection from 1964 – 1979 is on view at 45 White Street and will be open to the public from October 26 through November 30, 2022 (Monday-Thursday: 10am-6pm; Friday: 10am-5pm) at SFA Advisory. AGO Projects in partnership with SFA Advisory and the artist’s estate, is pleased to announce The Eyes of Rodolfo Abularach: A Selection from 1964 – 1979, an exhibition of ten works by Guatemalan artist Rodolfo Abularach (b. 1933; d. 2020), who compulsively painted the human eye, volcanoes, and apocalyptic fires. The exhibition, SFA Advisory’s first solo presentation of the artist’s work, showcases a selection of paintings and drawings that depict Abularach’s mysterious and singular eyes that evolve from the human to the transcendent and explore the eye as a vortex, portal, or doorway of mysteries. Abularach began his formal artistic training in 1946 at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas in Guatemala City. Soon after, Abularach expanded his studies into architecture, taking courses in abstract design. He was awarded a prestigious scholarship that allowed him to travel to New York City for the first time in 1958, and shortly thereafter he received Guggenheim Fellowships in 1959 and 1960. Abularach’s early years in New York City were transformative; he met artists such as Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline, bonding over late nights at the Cedar Bar, and worked alongside Marcel Duchamp on the jury for a competition at the Hudson River Museum.
