The Surrealist Paintings of Kay Sage and Yves Tanguy Shown Together at the Katonah Museum of Art

KATONAH, NY).- The Katonah Museum of Art takes visitors on a journey through the subconscious as it presents Double Solitaire: The Surreal Worlds of Kay Sage and Yves Tanguy. The exhibition is on view from June 5 through September 18, 2011. Organized in partnership with the Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte, North Carolina, Double Solitaire is the first major touring exhibition to explore the dynamic exchange of ideas that shaped the astonishing landscapes of these Surrealist artists and to reveal, in particular, Sage’s influence on Tanguy’s later work. Double Solitaire features approximately 25 paintings by each artist, dating from 1937 to 1958, as well as selected ephemera, providing a window into the couple’s personal lives. Sage and Tanguy were inseparable throughout their 15-year marriage, sharing a studio in Woodbury, Connecticut and communicating only in French until Tanguy’s untimely death in 1955.
