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

By Susan HarrisMARCH 2021 | ArtSeen
Mildred Thompson: Throughlines, Assemblages and Works on Paper from the 1960s to the 1990s cracks the veneer of the 20th century, modernist canon to highlight a little-known body of work by an African American abstract artist who, in spite of being overlooked and criticized for her race, gender, and style, remained resolute in her vision.
Jacob El Hanani: Recent Works on Canvas

Jacob El Hanani’s Recent Works on Canvas, through a combination of large scale and virtually microscopic images, leaves us transfixed.
Frank Auerbach: Selected Works, 1978–2016
By Tom McGlynnDEC 20-JAN 21 | ArtSeen
There are a number of portraits presented at Luhring Augustine in this tightly-curated survey of Auerbach’s paintings and drawings, which also includes some of his relatively larger landscapes. It’s a welcome opportunity to review up-close a number of mature works by an artist much more well known (as practically a national treasure, really) in his adoptive homeland in the UK.
