DAILY PIC: L&M Arts, on New York’s Upper East Side, is showing a stunning selection of Frank Stella’s early, and massively influential, abstractions – including these copper-toned works. What impresses me most is how impossible it is to choose between reading Stella’s paintings for their perceptual effects (how they explore the beauty of lines and shapes and surfaces) and their conceptual rigor (how they follow simple rules dictated by the shape and size of Stella’s stretcher and brush). He’s the art historical hinge between sensual abstract expressionism and brainy minimal art – tendencies that normally exclude each other.
The Daily Pic, along with more global art news, can also be found on the Art Beast page at TheDailyBeast.com.
Here are the two pieces that currently greet you upon entering Skydive Art Space. I organized the current exhibition, SOURCE MATERIAL: Works by Brian Dupont and Chris Rusak. At left is Dupont’s FITTING, and at right is Rusak’s Plastic Conception.
