What can I say that hasn’t already been said about two of the greatest artists in history, except that Van Gogh and Kandinsky, not to mention other lesser known expressionists like Gabrielle Münter, and Franz Marc helped to shape the way we look at the world today....
I threw a bit of ink (or the digital equivalent) around the topic of LACMA in the last post—its fabulous summer of art exhibitions, its fabulous trustees and director, and their plans for an even more fabulous east campus—perhaps inspired by that solar swimming pool...
Hyperallergic A man briefly disrupted the Jeff Koons retrospective at the Whitney Museum this afternoon, splashing his own blood in the shape of an X and signing the name Monty Cantsin underneath. . . READ MORE

I overheard a student of mine say “Nobody uses pencils anymore. They are just so old school.” This made me very sad until I saw Kio Griffith’s recent curatorial effort, "Draftpunk" at Autonomie Projects. I was reminded that not only is the pencil very much alive, but...
Aicon Gallery’s first solo exhibition in New York of contemporary art from Bangladesh is off to a good start. Tilted “Readymade,” which consists of work by established and emerging artists compressed into a relatively short time frame that began after Bangladesh...

Regarding John Altoon—all I can say is GO TO LACMA NOW and see Altoon’s stunning, inspiring first major retrospective. Altoon was a visionary, but more that perhaps, he was deeply committed to the process of painting and willing to see where that journey took him....
Nancy Popp's current solo exhibition at Klowden Mann, closing on August 9th, is the perfect exhibition to attend if you are not sure whether or not you are in the mood for photography, video, performance art or photographs of performance art. For the past several...
Awol – as you gentle readers may not have noticed – was a little more awol than usual the last week or so. Once upon a time that might have implied too many bars or after-hours clubs. Or piles of actual paid work (remember salaried employment?—once almost as...
As a viewer, one must “bear witness” to Steve McQueen’s artwork, which constitutes a totally awe inspiring engaging sensory experience. McQueen’s 1998 video installation titled Drumroll, in combination with his series of 56 photographs of gutters and dams in and...

Pierced by the oblique rays of a setting sun pouring in from the yellowing skylights, the bowels of the abandoned Domino’s sugar refinery in Brooklyn appear like the nave of a rusted cathedral. For two months this spring that majestic industrial ruin was the setting...
“Our whole purpose was to integrate objects from the world of machines and industry in the world of art. Our typographical collages or montages set out to achieve this by imposing, on something which could only be produced by hand, the appearances of something that...
