WATER MILL, NY (PNAN) – Going on view at the Parrish Art Museum Saturday, September 13, 2025, will be an exhibition, “Endless Limits: The Work of James Howell, 1962–2014” is the first career retrospective of the artist and the first time his work will be shown on Long Island, a region that profoundly shaped his practice. The Exhibition Opening Talk is set for Friday, September 12, from 7:00-8:00 pm in the Lichtenstein Theater. The show runs through February 8, 2026.
“James Howell’s work offers a quiet intensity that rewards close looking,” said Mónica Ramírez-Montagut, Executive Director of the Parrish Art Museum. “His disciplined, tonal investigations speak deeply to the artistic and natural environment of the East End and the timeless pursuit of the infinite and the transcendental in art. I am excited for our visitors to learn more about this complex and inspiring artist.”
This retrospective will be the first to explore Howell’s gradual path to his later body of work, revealing the artist’s lifelong inquiry into the effects of color, light, and compositional balance. “We wanted to be able to show the evolution of Howell’s approach over the course of his fifty-year career, from figurative painting into formless abstraction,” explained Scout Hutchinson, Associate Curator of Exhibitions.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue co-published with Hatje Cantz, featuring new scholarship on Howell’s art and working methods with contributions by Kaitlin Halloran, Scout Hutchinson, Jason Rosenfeld, PhD, and Hiroshi Sugimoto. A feature-length documentary, “Thoughts of Infinity” (2024), by acclaimed filmmaker Halina Dyrschka, will also be screened at the Museum during the exhibition’s run, offering further insight into Howell’s artistic and philosophical world.
