New York City.- Waterhouse & Dodd are pleased to present a major retrospective of the innovative French abstract artist, Georges Folmer. The exhibition is entitled simply “Φ”, the Greek letter ‘Phi’ that lies at the heart of much of Folmer’s work from the 1930s onwards: it is the symbol of The Golden Ratio, the ancient mathematical and geometrical theory upon which most of his works are constructed; it signifies the philosophy of balance in all things, in life and art; and it is the character that Folmer used to sign many of his works. The exhibition opens at Waterhouse & Dodd’s gallery at 104 Greene Street in SoHo on Thursday 19th January 2012 and continues until 15th February. Selected works will tour to TEFAF Maastricht in March 2012 and to Waterhouse & Dodd’s London gallery at 16 Savile Row in April.
