| Gorgeous Polke paintings |

| One of the greats--these purple-black abstractions, and bitumen abstractions, were superb--but photography is not allowed. |
 |
| Elsewhere at MoMA, Michalangelo Pistoletto. What I could not photograph at all was the excellent Jasper Johns show--understated and elegant gray paintings and prints based on Lucien Freud's wall of rags. |

| At the Whitney Biennial, Dan Walsh |
 |
| Whitney Biennial, Molly Zuckerman-Hartung, best painting by her I've seen: a NO painting |
 |
| Sterling Ruby's micro worlds--more Ruby below |
 |
| Louise Fishman |
 |
| Amy Sillman |
 |
| Sillman collaboration with Pam Lins |
 |
| Jacqueline Humphries. Someone should do a show of silver paintings, with this, Rosie Keyser, Ryan Sullivan, other artists working with metallics... |

| Pat Place at Jane Kim |
 |
| Place's iPhone photos arranged by pattern narrative...harking back to earlier works of film stills, shown in the back room for context. The beauty in these is their demand to be observed, and the shock of light illuminating cloud. Rich results from an economy of means. |

| At Brian Morris, a stunning three-person show with Liz Markus, Judith Linhares and Ashley Garrett |

There is another show I want to talk about, but have no images of, and cannot find any: SUMMER WHEAT at POCKET UTOPIA (191 Henry St., LES). This show snapped its fingers in my face and shouted, WAKE THE HELL UP! There is no online evidence of it that I can find but it is easily one of the best and weirdest shows I have seen in a very long time. This is a painter who puts you inside a replicated world that hybridizes Bonnard, Vermeer and Matisse. Go see it.
