Paint Isnât Just Paint at the New York Studio School (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I went to This Heat at the New York Studio School, curated by Jacob Brooks and spread across two galleries now twice the size after recent renovations, to see the works of Brenda Goodman and Steve DiBenedetto, and learn about those of Bendix Harms. I have followed and written about the first two for many years; I knew nothing about the last. I was intrigued by the exhibition announcement because it paired two longtime veterans of the New York art world with someone unknown to me. Was there a for
The Law & Order Writer Who Moonlights as an Artist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was only two years ago, at an exhibition of the work of Xu Bing at the Asia Society Texas in Houston, that I felt my first inkling of the breadth of René Balcer’s contribution to culture. At that point, I was interested in learning everything I could about Xu’s linguistic experiments, from A Book from the Sky (1987–91) to his use of what he calls “Square Word Calligraphy” in different installations and publications. This had proven difficult, because Bing is not represented by an American gal
Catherine Murphy Has Her Cake and Eats It Too (opens the original)
Read excerpt
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. — I first saw Catherine Murphy’s work at the now-defunct Xavier Fourcade gallery on Manhattan’s Upper East Side in 1980, and I have admired it ever since.

Since then, Murphy has characterized herself as an “observational painter” who bases her work on what she sees. Throughout her career, however, she would move from what she saw
Beyond the Myth of Chico da Silva (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The rise and fall of Chico da Silva in the global art world is a cautionary tale. He was born in 1910 in the Amazon Rainforest, the son of an Indigenous Peruvian fisherman and a Brazilian woman from Ceará, along the Atlantic Ocean. After his father died from a snakebite, she brought her son to Fortaleza, the capital of the state of Ceará, settling in the impoverished neighborhood of Pirambu. In the 1940s, da Silva, who never learned to read or write, and whose parents’ names remain unknown, bega
The Sunflower Effect of Kyung-Me (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kyung-Me has yet to be recognized as one of the most compelling artists of her generation. Now in her mid-30s, she has transformed her process to make at least four distinct bodies of work. First, she published her graphic novel, Bad Korean (2016), a pictorial diary done in pastel and colored pencil of a gullible young woman in New York, looking for love. Alienated and unhappy, she believes sex, alcohol, food, and dressing hip will help her escape her hyper-awareness of not fitting in. Told in s
