![]() ![]() Unusually strong curation for Skarstedt all in all, but, lest someone think the gallery isn't dealing in over-moneyed hackdom, the wall text needlessly organizes the artists into five subcategories of Picassosity: The Body (Bacon, BanBan, Prince), Childhood (Basquiat, Warhol, Baselitz), The Past (Kippenberger Fratino, Johns), Appropriation (Condo, Johns, Harrison), and The Moving Image(?) (Fischl, Lawler, Harrison). On the other hand, the Baselitz is pretty good, the Bacon, Lawler, and Johns are fantastic, unsurprisingly, as is the Condo, surprisingly, and the show's easily crowned by the four late Picassos, which are astounding. Basquiat and Warhol are fine, the Kippenberger isn't particularly great, and the Fischl succeeds as a cute little condescending wink painting. Prince's defaced Picasso catalogue plates are mildly amusing but they're no more amusing than the originals, which makes them self-defeating. Teddy bears are easy to enjoy and there's automatically a lot to look at, but his methodology isn't built to function in this small of a space so it can't get going and fire on all cylinders.įrancis Bacon, Cristina BanBan, Georg Baselitz, Jean-Michel Basquiat, George Condo, Eric Fischl, Louis Fratino, Rachel Harrison, Jasper Johns, Martin Kippenberger, Louise Lawler, Pablo Picasso, Richard Prince, Andy Warhol - In Dialogue with Picasso - Skarstedt - ***.5Ĭristina BanBan delivers a heinous combination of Instagram-oriented copy-paste Photoshopped selfie figuration and Instagram-oriented big sloppy splatters of paint, and Fratino and Harrison are boring. Like his music, Palestine's art is essentially the same immersive experience over and over again (enough content that the form doesn't matter), which is fine because it's a real ritual fetish that's being perpetuated by a real earnest freak. ![]() The Manhattan Art Comic by Andrew Newell WaltherĬharlemagne Palestine - Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo - Meredith Rosen - *** ![]() TMAR Worldwide, The Introductory Reviews by Troy Sherman, Simon Smith, Quin Land, and Scott NewmanĪmalia Ulman's El Planeta by Almog Cohen-Kashi Theodor Adorno - Aesthetic Theory - *****Īndrea Fraser: Collected Interviews 1990-2018 1Įmily Segal - Mercury Retrograde (The Question of Coolness) Gerhard Richter Marian Goodman & Lise Soskolne Svetlana, Park McArthur Essex Street, The Cleaners of Mars Reena Spaulings - Addendum: Notes on Psychedelic ArtĬoncerning Superfluities Essex Street vs. Isa Genzken Galerie Buchholz, Art Club2000 Artists Space, Jef Geys Essex Street In Search of the Worst Painting on the Lower East Side The Manhattan Art Christmas Movie Review Special: Notes on Eyes Wide Shut Paul McCarthy and the Negative Sublime, Paul McCarthy Hauser & Wirth ![]() The Aesthetics of the Refusal of Aesthetics, Sara Deraedt Essex Street (2016) The Rules of Appropriation Liz Magor, For Example, Liz Magor Andrew Kreps The Manhattan Art Review's Best & Worst Art Shows of 2021Ī Response to Eric Schmid's Press Release for Henry Fool Triest Why Does The Whitney Biennial Suck So Much?
