| Pure spirit: My Favorite Things by Florine Stettheimer |
 |
| Costume designs |
 |
| And bas-relief come as a surprise |
 |
| Sculpture, too |
 |
| A world of repose, ephemera, temperature knifed in as if to concretize a moment. Tinted colors slip over our eyes. |
 |
| Celeste DuPuy-Spencer at the Whitney: wallpaper that assumes the characteristics of the objects in the room around it |
 |
| And exciting, mashed-up, reckless and beautiful watercolors |
 |
| That commemorate moments in life yet also create new structures. |
 |
| Thomas Trosch, reviewed by Barry Schwabsky in the Summer Artforum. A show of old and new works, recounting the artist's life in the studio and with collectors. |
 |
| Often considered in homage to Stettheimer's society paintings, Trosch expands on the traditions of palette knife painting. |
 |
| Bas-relief, heaped up and exciting: a world of material. |
 |
| A Troschian Red Studio |
 |
| These autobiographical paintings remind me of Todd Bienvenu's paintings though the latter's are more graphic; there is also a sumptuous Matisse feeling. |
 |
| These old ones really knocked me out, the careful script and mashed-together forms. |
 |
| Wow. Like Kerry James Marshall, too. What a knockout! |
 |
| That said, I love the old and new together--to see where Trosch has gone. What a great show. Such good work out there right now. |
