Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-21 00:00:00 Shelley Weems An amazing show, I went to the show wanting to organize a show for Sideshow Gallery gathering cards for artists but only got to Joe Oversteet's studio and home. Ronnie Landfield wanted a Lyrical Abstraction show, so no go at Sideshow, but very important and inspiring for people of all kinds and ages to see. The book is well written by Katy Siegal, Dawoud Bay, and Anna C. Chave. I must read it again sometime but have a pile of books by my bed as it is. A must for all abstract painters, everywhere. Love David Diao's process piece, just wrote a review of Forrest Meyers' show with Jim Clark for Whitehot magazine online, and all the blacks and women of course, and so many I had only seen researching old Art in Americas. I have a Peter Young book now, but have loved Ron Gorchov so long and talked about him at one of David Cohen's panel as a mystery thinker rather than a puzzle thinker when Joe Fyfe said his show at Nicholas Robinson was "phoned in." David Cohen said maybe you should be up here! When I saw the show at Nicholas robinson I befriended the gallerist asking what she went to school for and she said architecture and we talked so long she gave me the catalogue to the show. Martin Bromirski, this is dedicated to you because I heard about the show on your blog before it ever came up to NYC>

Review # 2 was written on 2007-12-26 00:00:00 Kell Kell This retrospective of largely overlooked artists from the late '60's and early '70's is an amazing curatorial effort on the part of David Reed and Katy Siegel. The artists featured were pioneers in the use of new painting technologies and the affect of politics on their work is examined.
