A trip to mid-town and another to Chelsea over the past two weeks yielded a number of great shows. In Chelsea our first visit was to the Lohin Geduld gallery for a solo exhibition of new work by Cecily Kahn. She has been reviewed on the pages twice in the past for shows at The Painting Center (in January 2000 & May 2001) and was profiled in our November 2000 issue. Next was the Atsuko Tanaka show at Paula Cooper which spans this Japanese artist�s career. This is the first exhibition of the artist�s work in New York since 1965. Finally in Chelsea was an installation by Ginny Fox at SOHO 20 Gallery which comprised one of two exhibits in that space (the other was Eleonora Tammes - see Some Noteworhy Abstraction). In Mid-town we decided to strike out north of 57th street for a change and took in a group show of abstraction at the Anita Shapolsky Gallery. For years her gallery was a fixture on Spring Street in Soho but this new space, as well as this show, offered some interesting surprises. |
