Robert Morris, Untitled, 2010. Felt with steel brackets. All images courtesy of Sonnabend Gallery.

Currently on display at Sonnabend Gallery are works by Robert Morris.  These include for the most part reiterations of works he has explored at various points in his career, such as the Felt Pieces, which he began making in 1967, and the Blind Time drawings, which he executes blindfolded following certain self-imposed rules, and which he began making in 1973.  Two films, Neo-Classic and Slow Motion, made in 1971 and 1969 respectively, are also on display.  Morris played an important role in defining the principles of Minimalism, a practical field which he also endued with a new softness and sensuousness, most notably with these works in felt.
