"Cut: Abstraction in the United States from the 1970s to the Present" was an exhibition that explored the evolution of abstract art in America, focusing on artists who manipulated painting surfaces through cuts, carvings, and indentations. The exhibition, curated by Amy Galpin, featured a multigenerational group of artists, including both established figures like Al Loving, Elizabeth Murray, and Jack Whitten, and younger artists like Loriel Beltrán, Alejandro Contreras, and Clara Varas, showcasing how abstraction has been a driving force in American art and its international impact. The exhibition highlighted the diverse approaches artists took in manipulating their materials, pushing the boundaries of traditional abstraction.
