Hélio Oiticica

Lison gallery shows (posthumously) some of Hélio’s work. This Brazilian was one of the originators of installation art and conceptual art, establishing an influence still felt today. A poet of the favelas, or makeshift slums, found in Rio de Janeiro, Oiticica created installations that were influenced by the social circumstances of his environment.

Latifa Echakhch

With her exhibition “The After,” Latifa Echakhch led us into the memory of a collective rite, transporting us, in an era of social distancing, to the scene of some just-concluded event, perhaps a concert, in a remote place, perhaps a forest (read on at Artforum). Pretty impressive to see an artist my own age who has already shown at Biennale and won the Duchamp prize.

Per Kirkeby

I vaguely remember the ’90s (I was early 20s so enough time has passed that it’s hard for one to be honest about their import at the time). Anyway, Per’s work from that time grabbed a young artists who loved painting, but really didn’t want to like the neo-expressionists who I was sure at the time actually hated painting (see what I mean?). RIP

Christian Eisenberger

Artforum says “SEHN SIE TIEF 9975-15432-32718” is Christian Eisenberger’s most comprehensive exhibition to date at Galerie Krinzinger. Though these paintings are not abstraction they are abstractions literally and conceptually- and clearly owe their execution approach to a number of abstractionists.
