SUMMARY:CAM Talk – Exhibition Series: Castaway: Mark Rothko on the Beach\, by Adam Greenhalgh
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 1\, 2026\n2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.\nDowntown Campus Auditorium\n27 Pleasant Street\, Gloucester\, MA 01930\nRegistration Required\nThis lecture will be recorded. \nTicketing Options:\nIndividual Lecture Tickets— SOLD OUT\nCAM Members $5\, Non-Members (Adult) $30. Additional prices available when registering.\nTickets do not include admission to the special exhibition.\n \nExhibition Lecture Series Package Tickets — SOLD OUT\nCAM Members $25\, Non-Members (Adult) $100. Additional prices available when registering.\nTickets include five lectures and admission to the special exhibition after the talk on July 22.\nClick here to become a member and save! \nMark Rothko did not like the beach. And yet it figures prominently\, literally and figuratively\, in his work. This lecture will trace Rothko’s engagement with the beach\, from early watercolors made on Cape Ann alongside Milton Avery and Adolph Gottlieb to symbolic evocations in surrealistic paintings and drawings of the 1940s. His late abstract paintings of the 1960s also arguably reverberate like towering cliffs with the sounds of the shore. Rothko’s works will be considered alongside artists for whom the coast offered rich material\, including Edvard Munch\, Caspar David Friedrich\, and J.M.W. Turner. The beach has long figured as a liminal zone well suited for symbolic treatments of existential themes—love\, sex\, death\, spirituality. Rothko’s seaside subjects are no different. \nAdam Greenhalgh is associate curator at the National Gallery of Art in Washington\, DC. He has been lead author since 2015 of the catalogue raisonné Mark Rothko: The Works on Paper. His scholarship has appeared widely in journals\, exhibition and collection catalogues\, including contributions to Yes\, No\, Maybe: Artists Working at Crown Point Press (2013)\, which he co-curated; Three Centuries of American Prints from the National Gallery (2016); and Facture (2020)\, the National Gallery’s journal of technical art history and conservation. Most recently\, he was curator of Mark Rothko: Paintings on Paper (2023) and author of the companion volume. He holds a PhD from the University of Maryland\, an MA from Williams College\, and a BA from the University of Virginia. \nImage Credit: Philip G.

SUMMARY:CAM Talk – Exhibition Series: Mark Rothko's "Slow Swirl at the Edge of the Sea\," by Dr. Thomas Crow
DESCRIPTION:Due to popular demand we were able to open a select number of seats for this lecture! \nSaturday\, August 8\, 2026\n2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.\nDowntown Campus Auditorium\n27 Pleasant Street\, Gloucester\, MA 01930\nRegistration Required \nThis lecture will be recorded & livestreamed. \nCAM Members $5\, Non-Members (Adult) $30.\nAdditional prices available when registering.\nTickets do not include admission to the special exhibition. \nClick here to become a member and save! \nThe large canvas of 1944 that Mark Rothko titled Slow Swirl at the Edge of the Sea appears at first encounter like a belated example of international Surrealism. While not wrong\, that view fails to comprehend the outsized role this painting played in the artist’s reaching the signature abstract style for which he is so renowned. This lecture will show how much of that evolution is already prefigured in this dreamlike aquatic vision. \nDr. Thomas Crow teaches graduate students in art history at the Institute of Fine Arts\, NYU\, where he is Rosalie Solow Professor of Modern Art. His most recent publication is Murder in the Rue Marat: A Case of Art in Revolution (Princeton University Press). He is also co-editor of Seeing Rothko\, the proceedings of the conference he organized when director of the Getty Research Institute. \nImage Credit: Mark Rothko (1903–1970)\, Iphigenia and the Sea/Horizontal Phantasy\, 1943.

SUMMARY:CAM Talk – Exhibition Series: Summers by the Sea: Helen Frankenthaler and Toni LaSelle\, by Alison de Lima Greene
DESCRIPTION:Due to popular demand we were able to open a select number of seats for this lecture! \nSaturday\, August 22\, 2026\n2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.\nDowntown Campus Auditorium\n27 Pleasant Street\, Gloucester\, MA 01930\nRegistration Required\n \nThis lecture will be recorded & livestreamed.\n \nCAM Members $5\, Non-Members (Adult) $30.\nAdditional prices available when registering.\nTickets do not include admission to the special exhibition.\n \nClick here to become a member and save! \nThe Atlantic coast has been a powerful magnet for artists across the twentieth century\, offering a refuge from sweltering summers as well as the ties of friendship and community. Summers by the Sea: Helen Frankenthaler and Toni LaSelle examines the paintings of two mid-century artists who first came to Massachusetts as students of Hans Hofmann\, and who shared affinities with the work of Milton Avery\, Adolph Gottlieb\, and Mark Rothko as well. In subsequent years\, LaSelle and Frankenthaler followed independent paths\, but continued to find renewal in the siren call of the sea. \nAlison de Lima Greene is the Isabel Brown Wilson Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, where she has served on the curatorial staff since 1984. A member of the curatorial team responsible for the inaugural presentations in the MFAH’s new Nancy and Rich Kinder Building in 2020\, her exhibitions include retrospectives devoted to Mark Rothko\, Philip Guston\, and Tamara de Lempicka\, as well as special installations planned in collaboration with Yayoi Kusama\, Pipilotti Rist\, and Anicka Yi. \nImage Credit: Toni LaSelle (1901–2002)\, Puritan\, 1947–50\, oil on canvas\, 30 1/8 x 25 in.
