The Carl Heidenreich Foundation is pleased to share that Heidenreich’s Untitled (Mexico Series), a mixed-media work from 1962, is currently on view at the Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University Bloomington.

The painting is included in the exhibition Landscape and Abstraction in Watercolor, 1780–1980, in the museum’s third floor space, the Rhonda and Anthony Moravec Gallery.

Carl Heidenreich, *Untitled (Mexico Series)*, 1962. Mixed media. 22 x 35 1/2 inches. Collection of the Eskenazi Museum of Art, Indiana University. Catalogue raisonné no. 2070.

The wall label reads: “The watercolor medium was well-suited to Carl Heidenreich’s interest in conveying the effects of light even within abstract compositions. ‘My subject matter is light,’ he wrote, ‘light in all its functions and power. The movements of light are transformed into the shapes and forms of the finished composition.’ A trip to Mexico in the late 1950s inspired a series of compositions in which a warm, earth-toned palette expresses the semi-tropical environment. The structured, almost geometric, composition also evokes the ancient ruins Heidenreich encountered there.”

The exhibition runs from August 5 to December 10, 2023.
