ABOUT THE ARTIST
Russell Maltz (b. 1952, Brooklyn, NY; lives New York, NY) is one of the leading reductive artists of his generation. Over the past 40 years, he has exhibited his work in solo and group exhibitions internationally, including in Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Austria, Sweden, Israel, Mexico, and the United States. The first comprehensive retrospective exhibition of his work was mounted by the Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken in Germany in 2017, and was accompanied by a 230-page book published by Kerber Verlag.

At the gallery Maltz was recently included in the group exhibition On Paper in summer 2016. He also presented new work in the two-person exhibition Plywood, alongside artist Melissa Kretschmer, in 2015, and mounted the solo survey exhibition The Ball Park Series, 1977-2012 in 2012. That same year he produced a major installation entitled Painted/Stacked Oaxaca at the Museo de los Pintores Oaxaqueños, part of our survey exhibition MINUS SPACE en Oaxaca in Mexico.

His additional recent solo exhibitions include Galerie Michael Sturm (Stuttgart Germany), Galerie Wenger (Zurich, Switzerland), Alejandra von Hartz Gallery (Miami, FL), Galleri Weinberger (Copenhagen, Denmark), The Atlanta Contemporary Art Center (Atlanta, GA), Galerie Schlegl (Zurich, Switzerland), and the Ringling School of Art and Design (Sarasota, FL).

Maltz’s work is included in many public and private collections worldwide, including The Brooklyn Museum (Brooklyn, NY), Yale University Art Gallery (New Haven, CT), Fogg Art Museum/Harvard University Art Museums (Cambridge, MA), Museum Moderner Kunst (Ottendorf, Germany), and the Gallery of Western Australia (Perth, Australia). His work has been reviewed in publications such as The New York Times, Artforum, Art in America, and Village Voice, among many others.

Maltz serves on the Advisory Board of Critical Practices Inc. (CPI), which supports the emergence and development of new practices within the field of cultural production. CPI was included in the 2014 Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art.

In addition to presenting engaging, available artworks by more than 20 international artists, the new website also features an Editions page, which highlights compelling limited edition prints and multiples by gallery and affiliated artists dating from the 1960s to today. The new Books page presents dozens of new and out-of-print publications about gallery artists and reductive art, including monographs, exhibition catalogues, writings, and ephemera.
