Barbara Takenaga

Since I do love Yayoi Kusama’s paintings I had to look at this piece which lead me to Barbara. Wow!

Suzan Frecon

Suzan has been making art for a minute so of course Artforum notes her newest.

Maya Freelon

If you didn’t know of Maya already “yes” Triangle legends Nnenna and Phil Freelon are her parents (her brother is no slouch either). Walter gives her upcoming show at CAM Raleigh a shout out.

Dorothy Fratt

Dorothy (who is no longer with us) made works which “are too rich to be minimal, too spare to be expressionist. They deal with color and expansive space, yet they are too gestured and incidented to be straight colorfield works. They are adventures in form dealing with color as an expressive agent rather than as a mere phenomenon.”

The blog about Robert inspired me to look back into the last century. Regular readers know I often make Pinterest boards of artists as I’m looking at their work- here’s one of Lee’s work. I’ve always felt she got the lamest deal of any of the AbEx generation as her work is some of the strongest of the group. Here’s some quotes from her that help illustrate how she saw her place.

Serena Mitnik-Miller

Sarah Shepard Gallery has a solo exhibition of Serena’s new works- Juxtapoz finds them noteworthy.

Kelly Sheppard Murray

We don’t have a huge local art scene in Raleigh, so I’ve had the chance to meet Kelly and see her approach to teaching in a crit format. More and more.

Lynda Benglis

I’ve been a big fan of Lynda since discovering her poured work during my undergrad days. Seeing her work getting new juxtapositions inspired a revisiting of some like Contraband and Wing.

Keltie Ferris

was in Queer Abstraction along with Joshua and Paola and Mark B/JE and Bo and Elijah. #queerartists

Lisa Corrine Davis

Pursuit of Aesthetics has some solid work- Lisa has a piece included as do Jason and Andrea.

Susie Rosmarin

When I was in grad school I saw Susie talk at the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston as a part of Abstract Painting, Once Removed— appears some years later she had a solo show there as well. Her work process has always been quite disciplined and it appears the monochromatic pieces of the early 2000s have given way to a broader palette (btw if you like these you’ll also like Sanford and Rob).

Polly Apfelbaum

Polly was one of the hits I remember from Abstract Painting, Once Removed. Her work is literally removed from the constraint of a traditional, rectangular canvas (like Rhia and Meg). Image below is from that time frame.

More (her work has moved back onto the wall as she explores new iconography)

Ingrid Calame

As I continue to think back on artists that were having a (or their first, in Calame’s case) big Art world moment while I was doing grad studies I’m reminded of course (since she, Monique and Polly were often mentioned collectively by the critical community) that Ingrid’s works* were considered lineage and departure from Pollock.

(*image below is from that time; her work like her colleagues mentioned above has moved in new directions over the last two decades)
