DEAR MARCIA VETROCQ
REGARDING: REPLAY THE ATTITUDES EXHIBITION
I WAS MOST IMPRESSED BY THE CARE & ATTENTION GIVEN TO THE WORKS & THE ATTEMPT TO RE-CREATE A PHYSICAL MISE-EN-SCENE WITHIN THE AMBIANCE OF THE ORIGINAL INSTALLATION
ATTEMPTING TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS EXHIBITION BECAME SUCH A BENCHMARK FOR THE 20TH CENTURY WHEN IN FACT THE LASTING RESULTS OF THE SHOW ARE MORE ABOUT THE DYNAMICS OF THE MELDING OF ARTISTS THAT FOUND THEMSELVES IN THE MIDST OF OTHER ARTISTS WITH A MINDSET THAT ALLOWED FOR COEXISTENCE LEADING TO WHAT WE TODAY KNOW AS THE INTERNATIONAL ART WORLD
THE WORKS THEMSELVES HAD ALREADY ENTERED THE CULTURE THE AMSTERDAM EXHIBITION OP LOSSE SCHROEVEN HAD PRECEDED BERN GALLERISTS WERE SHOWING MANY OF THE ARTISTS
BERN AT THAT MOMENT GAVE A MAPPING TO A COSMOS
BEST REGARDS
I REMAIN

This past Friday the 13th of December, in the dismal rain, was a deliciously gilded day for anyone who went to Chelsea to contemplate the undismal sheen of these “late light gold works.” Created late in the life of Stephen Antonakos, and luminous, all these radiant outpourings and inpourings of a sun inside a mind shine forth.

The retrospective, curated by Ruba Katrib, is the artist’s first in the United States and presents more than 200 works including paintings, works on paper, and sculptures from the last five decades of Fattal’s production.

Richard Pousette-Dart: Works 1940 – 1992
By Phillip GriffithJUNE 2019 | ArtSeen
The paintings that occupy the main space of Richard Pousette-Dart: Works 1940 – 1992 create full visual environments, like a sun filling the sky with heat or a carpet of vegetation covering a lawn.
