The Space Between Certainty and Discovery
Almine Rech Gallery in Paris, France, presents Other Rooms, Works from 1959–2017, the first major European monographic presentation of work by Emily Mason '54, through March 14, 2026.
Emily Mason '54 was a visionary American abstract painter known for her vibrant, lyrical approach to color and composition. Born and raised in New York City, Mason was immersed in the world of modern art from a young age. She began her artistic education in the studio of her mother, Alice Trumbull Mason, a pioneer of American abstraction and a founding member of the American Abstract Artists group
The exhibition Other Rooms, Works from 1959–2017 marks a long‑awaited moment in the European reception of Emily Mason, offering the first major monographic presentation of her work on the continent. Spanning nearly six decades and gathering around fifty works across canvas, clayboard, and paper, the exhibition reveals an artist whose practice unfolded in continuous motion—never settling, never repeating, always searching.
