Max Spoerri
Expressionist
Spoerri, who describes his work as "a search for the abstract in the casual disorder of our environment," has lived the enviable life of a true artist. He has toured the great art centers of Europe, trading ideas and inspirations with some of the art world's most renowned visionaries. Max has studied and worked with Hans Hoffman. Helped design Bill de Kooning’s studio in East Hampton. Was a member of the storied "Artist Club" that met every Friday night on Tenth Street in Greenwich Village. The members were first and second generation abstract expressionists - descendants of the surrealists and various survivors of the abstract art world of the 30's, 40's and 50's.
In 1958 Spoerri had his first show at the Sun Gallery in Provincetown, Massachusetts, and in 1967 he toured Europe in an old Mercedes, which he parked for three months in Antibes, France while his work was exhibited at the Musee Minicipal d'Antibes. He has been busy showing his work ever since in New York City, East Hampton, Boston, Holland and France. But the heart of this great artist never strays for too long from his "Artist Club" roots, where he has lived and worked in his studio on the corner of Broadway and Bleeker Street in Greenwich Village since 1958.
