Shadows of the Past

Independent calls a grouping of eight galleries “re-enacting the Breuer,” an acknowledgment that you can never go home again. For James Fuentes, which is showing two of Al Held’s monumental Alphabet paintings, that re-enactment is literal; both the “I” (1965) and “Upside Down Triangle” (1966), which transmutate fragments of letters into hulking geometries, were installed here for Held’s Whitney retrospective in 1974.

Independent 20th Century
The Breuer | Booth 406
September 24 – 27, 2026

James Fuentes presents two iconic Alphabet Paintings by New York artist Al Held (1928–2005), marking a historic return to the former Met Breuer building more than 50 years after their inclusion in Held’s major retrospective curated by Marcia Tucker at the Whitney Museum in 1974.

Acclaimed for his monumental geometric paintings, Held occupies a pivotal position in postwar art, achieving emotional intensity through rigorous geometric clarity amid the city’s contending currents of Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism at the time. Each staging a monumental letterform (or its apparent fragment), the Alphabet works (1961–67) crystallize Held’s core concerns: specificity over ambiguity, a bodily sense of scale and compression, and the tension
between illusion and surface.
