Carolyn Case

Two coats gives Carolyn props for not letting a good double entendre sink her intent.

Prunella Clough

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

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.

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.”

Maria Helena Vieira da Silva

Maria, who is no longer with us, stills gets respect for her contributions to abstraction, mostly because her unique approach was a melding of her early schooling with the French Cubist Fernand Léger with other modernist modes like Futurism and Constructivism.

Jane South

Full page add for the gem below in the April #ArtForum. Led me to look for more.

(spoiler- her other work is very different and just as awesome).

Leo Valledor and Zin Helena Song

Hyperallergic caught my eye with Leo’s work. The story of the Park Place Group is another wrinkle in the “primacy” of post-war New York… While some might think of Stella‘s (or Tony‘s) work, I’m more curious about how artists like Zin are taking this idiom forward.

Rebecca Morris

Glad I got to see her recent output at Bortolami.

Sarah Mikenis

Discovered on IG due to a hashtag- these are my favorite at the moment.

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.

Iva Gueorguieva

Iva like Nathalie is to be watched. More

Hedda Sterne

I was so over the moon to see #MOMA give Hedda her due in their new reconfiguration- as the only #womanartist featured in the famous Time photo of the AbEx “membership” it has always been odd that her work has never figured (notice I didn’t say surprising). I am continually in awe of the #9thstreetwomen and their truly Modernist commitment to artistic practice- they always made work, even as their male counterparts (and spouses!) stole the limelight.
