Studio Visit with Nils Folke Anderson
I had a wonderful afternoon visiting [...]
Lower East Side Galleries
Alex Olson at Lisa Cooley
I am a big fan of the artists Lisa Cooley shows in her space on the LES. Her current show has paintings by Alex Olson. The works are very textural and all have to do with an investigation of “surfaces.” She scratches, layers, drags paint until the final [...]
Frieze Art Fair
The Frieze Art Fair had booths of over 170 galleries in the tents at Regent’s Park this year. While there is no way to cover everything I saw (much of it began to blur together with all of the other terrific shows going on), I have included images of highlights for me. The [...]
Ab Ex NY: the Big Picture at MoMA
As the introductory wall text states, Abstract Expressionism is the movement that is most closely associated with the Museum of Modern Art. Therefore it is only fitting that the curators combed through the permanent collection to find solid examples of work from this period for a large-scale exhibition. [...]

Art Basel 2010
Art Basel 2010. Overall, some excellent works on view. There were fewer Americans visiting than in previous years but buying still seemed to be happening for smaller ticket items. I preferred Volta and Liste which had some really great works by artists I had not heard of before and some by better-known artists [...]
Nicole’s visit to Louisville, KY and 21c
I headed down to Louisville, Kentucky for the first time to check out the hotel/museum 21c owned by Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson. The red penguin, seen above in pajamas for their annual pajama party fundraiser, is the logo and mascot of the establishment. The 90-room property, which occupies [...]
In a span of only eight short years, Jean-Michel Basquiat created about 1000 paintings and more than 2000 drawings– all before his death at the age of 27. In honor of what would have been his 50th birthday, Fondation Beyeler has a retrospective on view with over 150 paintings and works on paper from private [...]
Anne Truitt at Matthew Marks Gallery
First introduced to Truitt’s work when I was helping organize a show of Minimalist work at Vivian Horan Fine Art, I immediately fell in love with the simplicity of the line, form and color in her work. It is amazing to me how such seemingly banal works trigger emotion in [...]
