Really well done interview, a lot of sharing by a great artist. The current situation has been fantastic for his work- these are ✊🏼.

Prunella Clough

Artforum notes 6 decades of “Pru”‘s work up at Ballant House and gives some great context for her oeuvre.

Gregory Amenoff

Wasn’t familiar with Gregory before this Hyperallergic article- you can find older work on IG using hashtags if you want to compare to below, which is a nice corner to have turned.

Landon Metz

Artsy gives Landon some deserved snaps.

Stephen Mueller

“My paintings don’t depict anything. I’m trying to reach that kind of experience where you are on the edge. There and not there.”

Artforum notes a recent, posthumous show at Barry Whistler (more).

Emily Berger

Emily was noted in this article about the power of green.

Shizuko Yoshikawa

Shizuko is new to me, having caught this #Artspace piece in my RSS feed because I am usually quite drawn to Concrete artists’ work.

Tahiti Pehrson

Kind of hard not to be mesmerized by these- picture below with a human for scale. And he makes cool videos so you can make your own!

Clyfford Still

Art in America notes a new documentary of the most reclusive of the male AbEx practitioners. Realized I haven’t ever blogged about him so here a few more in addition to the gem below.

Hard, for me, not to have a lot of respect for a painter perhaps most known for never compromising to advance his career.

Shirazeh Houshiary

Since exploring abstraction from artists born in Muslim countries was so enjoyable recently Artsy’s newest on #womenartists from the Middle East would have caught my eye even if Etel wasn’t featured.

“Shirazeh Houshiary, who emerged in the early 1980s with British sculptors like Tony Cragg, Richard Deacon, and Anish Kapoor, first became known for her allusive environments and biomorphic sculptural forms. However, in the following decade, Houshiary increasingly created drawings and monochromatic paintings.”
