I love the irregular grids and subtle color of these James Bishop works (drawings? Paintings?) on paper as a part of ‘To Continue Painting’ curated by @mollywarnock.bsky.social at Timothy Taylor Gallery.

For this month's @artforum.com, I reviewed François Rouan's first solo show with Templon New York: www.artforum.com/events/franc...
François Rouan
François Rouan’s solo exhibition at Templon spans six decades of his "tressage" technique, weaving multiple compositions into layered abstract surfaces.

Taking in Clyfford Still's PH-247, 1951, affectionately known as "Big Blue," for the Clyfford Still Catalogue Raisonné. #clyffordstill #abstractexpressionism #catalogueraisonné

In the original French: "Je songe à cette armée de fuyards aux appétits de dictature que reverront peut-être au pouvoir, dans cet oublieux pays, ceux qui survivront à ce temps d'algèbre damné."

René Char, Feuillets d'Hypnos, 1946, largely written while commanding a rural guerilla unit in the French Resistance: "I think of that army of deserters, hungry for dictatorship, whom those who survive the Faustian algebra of these times will perhaps see back in power in this mindless country."

Wanda Pimentel, Involvement Series, 1968, vinyl on canvas, 130 × 98 cm (Art Institute of Chicago). Pimentel: “ I think my issues are the issues of our time: the lack of perspective for people, their alienation. The saddest thing is for people to be dominated by things.”

A few close details of Mark Rothko watercolors at the NGA in D.C. this time last year. I loved this show.

For this month's Artforum, I reviewed the superb Sylvia Plimack Mangold exhibition at Craig Starr Gallery, New York (through March 8). I cannot emphasize too strongly how much I yearn to see a full retrospective.
Sylvia Plimack Mangold
Astoundingly, three decades have passed since the painter’s last museum survey, held at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery (now the Buffalo AKG Museum) in 1994.

Writing about Yves Klein's sculpture for an upcoming talk in Nice. I've always liked this pairing at the Frederick R. Weisman Foundation in Los Angeles: Klein's Victory of Samothrace, 1962, and Kenneth Noland's Across, 1964.

That's a great book! The quote I posted is from p. 128.

Still thinking about the Julije Knifer exhibition recently at Frank Elbaz, Paris. I like Knifer's 1983 description of his meanders: "I did not paint to have these paintings serve someone else, these paintings served me ... My painting is, in a sense, a way of behaving."

Last days for "Huguette Caland, les années parisiennes (1970-1987)," at Mennour, Paris, through January 25. This is Guerre Incivile, 1981 (oil on linen, 155 x 155 cm / 61 x 61 in). A great painter and a great show.

There's plenty more in the archives.

I'm writing about this right now--for the Clyfford Still catalogue raisonné!
