I’ve told you all repeatedly to read Hyperallergic on the reg- see why?

El Anatsui and Georgina Maxim
Saw El at Biennale and was over the moon to walk into NCMA and find that our state is now home to a great piece of his- his modality is similar to Elias Simes, another great hailing from Africa which NCMA has included in the permanent collection. Georgina is also an African artist, who’s work is included because, like El, it reminds me of another artist (Al Loving). Juxtaposing is fun.

Brenda Goodman
Interesting write up about an artist who is moving in the “opposite” direction from Guston.

Francesco Clemente
I find his newest clouds quite interesting. Certainly not abstract compositionally (well, not intended to be), they are about an abstraction of an idea. And as a painter it’s hard not to be drawn to their quiet poetry.
Related- they make me realize how much I’ve changed (I found the neoromantics to be pretty ridiculous when I was in art school and they were having their day).

Ilana Zweschi
Hashtags plus IG is a fun way to meet new work (new to me- if you’re hip to these already, you know what’s up).

George McKim
New Optics looks great! George is local to the Triangle and is showing at the Horace Williams house, too.

Alexander Kroll
Found Alexander because Warren Isensee posted about hanging out with Tomory Dodge who posted about visiting Alex’s studio.

Cover status
It’s a thing in the Artworld, too. I’ve observed that, if used as a measure of stature, abstraction is fine (#pepekarmel would argue very fine). You can search for more covers yourself.
Richard Tuttle
Interesting to see this, since I’ve been spending time writing down my thoughts on painting lately, which means I’ve been revisiting artists, like Richard, that were coming to prominence as I was becoming an artist. More
