Description of 2008 Greg Kucera Gallery Exhibition In 1973, following the spectacular success of his first exhibition of the Burpee Garden series of paintings at Seattle's Polly Friedlander Gallery, Alden Mason visited New York at the invitation of Chuck Close. Close, a former student of Mason, encouraged him to install a number of his Burpee Garden paintings in Close's SoHo studio in the hopes of finding a dealer in New York. Notably, Close arranged for the maverick art dealer Allan Stone to view Mason's work. Seeing the paintings Mason installed in Close's studio, Stone agreed to buy all of them and to represent Mason's work in New York. Two of the paintings illustrated here are among those works Stone acquired and held for the last thirty-five years. We are pleased to present them for the first time in Seattle. In addition, we will show several Burpee Garden paintings and watercolors for resale from local private collections. In Seattle, Mason was represented by Greg Kucera Gallery from 1983 to 1996. He is currently showing work made since the 1980s at Foster/White Gallery, where he has been represented since 2003. Foster/White now represents Alden Mason's estate.
