In-Gallery Panel Discussion with Katherine Brinson, Olivia Funk, Paulina Pobocha, and Mary Weatherford: March 22 | 5 PM 5130 W. Edgewood Pl., Los Angeles RSVP Required Throughout her six-decade career, Martha Diamond (1944–2023) dedicated herself to the investigation of built environments, exploring corporeal relationships to volume and perspective that often manifested through depictions of the metropolis. Skin of the City surveys a range of paintings on canvas and studies on board made by Diamond over two pivotal decades, during which she solidified her standing in post-war American painting, specifically the New York School. The exhibition documents an intricate study of volume, mass, scale, and space along with the formal and thematic developments Diamond made during this period, characterized by earlier depictions of cityscapes from pedestrian and aerial perspectives and a later move towards the less referential visual language of abstraction.
