Style: Baber placed unpredictable and abstract stained imagery upon luminous white gounds to achieve a simplicity and directness that appeals immediately to the viewer's senses. Writing of her work in 1963, John Ashbery, commented, "Alice Baber has renewed the icy palette of the Expressionists and has made it express new things. The glittering mauves, pinks and pale greens that seem full of sinister meaning in the work of Kirchner or Stuck are here used cooly and with modest detachment to make simple but new statements about form -- what the space between two objects is, for example, or how it feels to be a ball or a path.....the result in her work is like a new regrouping of depleted but therefore stronger troops." Solo Exhibitions (Selected): New York (A.M. Sachs, Ingbar Gallery), Brussels, Palm Beach, Tehran, New Delhi, Saarbrucken, Dusseldorf, Santa Barbara, Paris, Hamburg, Cologne, London and elsewhere.
