Jesus Rafael Soto

Jesus was the source (#rip) for a couple of the gems in the stellar #SurModerno at #MOMA. Mad snaps to the museum for focusing on the breadth of Modernism (I too have a love of Concretist artists like Lygia and Virginia)- it makes the import of the aesthetic response to the epoch more rich. Amazing work in this show of which I’ll share more.

Yayoi Kusama

is at the #Acklandmuseum. Many folks know her infinity chambers (her installation at #ncma in 2018 stole the show) but not her painting. Glad I got to see the one below at the #armoryshow since COVID19 might shut things down before I get over to UNCCH.

I also found this little piece about Donald Judd interesting, which starts off with a story about his reaction to her work.

Wayne Thiebaud and Harold Ancart

Artforum writes about Wayne’s newest– I didn’t recognize the image at first which I love (when a painter can still surprise). I thought of Harold because- in addition to a shared painter-ly-ness- he’s headed the “opposite” way (towards “figuration”, where Wayne is becoming more abstracted) with his newest.
