Deep Time, a traveling survey of five decades of work by Martha Diamond, marking the artist’s first solo museum presentation in thirty-six years. Martha Diamond: Deep Time will be on view at The Aldrich from November 17, 2024 to May 18, 2025, and will be accompanied by the artist’s first major monograph.

Diamond’s ties to The Aldrich extend back to 1972 when Larry Aldrich, the Museum’s founder, visited the artist’s Bowery studio and purchased the seven-by-six-foot acrylic on canvas painting, Untitled, 1972, marking her first museum acquisition. This painting was included in Diamond’s debut exhibition, Contemporary Reflections 1972-73, an annual series at the Museum that spotlighted emerging artists with no gallery representation. Aldrich bought another painting from Diamond a year later, Untitled, 1973. It would be included in three more exhibitions throughout the 1970s and 1980s at The Aldrich. Now in the Museum’s 60th anniversary year, Untitled, 1973 will make its return as the earliest work in Deep Time.
