Acquired from the artist's studio
Adam Pendleton’s Untitled (Days) paintings capture a microhistory of marks and impressions: drips, splatters, strokes, erasures, shapes, word fragments. These are the accumulated gestures left over from work undertaken in Pendleton's painting studio, remnants arranged in all-over compositions dense with visual texture. Together, these paintings constitute an index of what it takes to make a painting.
