Posted on July 7, 2011, 5:15 PM, by jfriedman, under 54th Venice Biennale.

I am posting the first of two reviews I wrote after visiting the openings at the 54th Venice Biennial.

The Meta of Marble April 17, 2024

Skira Editore Milano just published a monograph on British-Iranian artist Reza Aramesh. In addition to several texts, and an interview with the artist, ACTION: BY NUMBER contains a catalogue raisonné of his work from 2002 onwards, including Aramesh’s recent marble sculpture.

William Blake at the Getty January 17, 2024

My last article published in 2023 was about the Getty exhibition of William Blake, the unrelenting radical who once said that “Where any view of Money exists Art cannot be carried on.” One wonders what the famously recalcitrant artist, poet, and religious visionary would have made of his work being presented by an institution whose […]
