The extraordinary quality and special character of Gaucher’s art can be seen in the following essential works, selected to represent the major stages of his development. Keep in mind that the experience of viewing Gaucher’s work, or any abstract painting, is significantly diminished in reproduction. This applies especially to the Grey on Grey paintings. The installation shots convey the visceral presence of the works better than standard flat images.
