In conjunction with the exhibition of new work, “Arnoldi & Arnoldi (Charles & Natalie),” a Gallery Talk with the artists and Rani Singh, Director of Special Projects at the Gagosian Gallery Beverly Hills and formerly of the Modern and Contemporary Collections of the Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles, will be held on Saturday, November 16th from 3-4 p.m.
A father and daughter exhibition pairs new work by consummate abstract artist, Charles Arnoldi, with the atmospheric place paintings and gouaches of Natalie Arnoldi. Despite the radical difference in approach, there is a subtle cohesion between these very distinctive bodies of work.
Beyond the inspiration of place and the architectural qualities of their work, there is a underlying sense of these disparate art works working together. While distinct and unique, the works of “Arnoldi & Arnoldi (Charles & Natalie)” speak to each other, conjuring a sense of some common, underlying, aesthetic DNA.
Rani Singh is Director of Special Projects at Gagosian Gallery Beverly Hills. Her work focuses on strategic planning and legacy management for artists, exhibition development, museum outreach, and long-term conservation practices. For over seventeen years she worked in Modern & Contemporary Collections at the Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles. Singh joined the GRI in 2000 as a scholar based on her work on experimental filmmaker and artist Harry Smith. At the Getty Singh was responsible for the planning and execution of Pacific Standard Time: Modern Art in Los Angeles and curated the painting and sculpture exhibition. She organized the Art on Screen initiative which focused on the hybridity between moving image media and the fine arts. In 2016 she was co-curator of the Beat Generation exhibition at the Centre Pompidou. Singh has engaged extensively with archival preservation, avant-garde film, and contemporary art in a broad range of contexts. Since 1992 she has been the director of the Harry Smith Archives.
