Fultz and Mantor create works that challenge how the materials (in this case, wood) are used. They add softness to the rigid shapes. The audience is encouraged to put these materials in contexts outside the traditional uses.

"Color People," An Exhibit Curated By Rashid Johnson, Runs At Rental Gallery (East Hampton, NY) July 1 To July 25, 2017

PictureThe Golden Ass by Bob Thompson
Color People, an exhibit curated by Rashid Johnson, runs at Rental Gallery (East Hampton, NY) July 1 to July 25, 2017. There will be an opening reception 6 to 8 p.m., Saturday July 1.

The exhibit includes work by: Walter Price, Nathaniel Mary Quinn, Robert Colescott, Marina Adams, McArthur Binion, Sam Gilliam, Alteronce Gumby, Mary Heilmann, Loie Hollowell, Tony Lewis, Amy Sherald, Bob Thompson, Mary Weatherford and more.

The best description of the show is below from it's curator, Johnson. If you are the area be sure to check this out.

Color People is an exhibition I've long considered organizing. It's born of a twenty-year obsession with the work of the artist Bob Thompson. The artists included are a wide range of painters whose works perform differently but with a shared radicality in their employment and understanding of color.  This exhibition doesn't speak to a time or place. The relationships formed here between works are often opaque and intentionally diverse. Some of these artists are heroes of mine, while others I've only recently been introduced to. They're bonded by my interest in their work. I've often found that artist organized exhibitions are most successful when the artist chooses to include works they wish they'd made themselves. This exhibition follows that philosophy.  –Rashid Johnson

"Trove," A Collection Of Works By Perle Fine, Runs June 23 To August 12, 2017 At McCormick Gallery (Chicago)

PictureCreatures of the Summer Heat
Trove, a collection of works by Perle Fine, runs June 23 to August 12, 2017 at McCormick Gallery (Chicago). There will be a 50 page catalog.

Fine was an Abstract Expressionist painter and like many women artists of her era was given less credit than she was due during her life.

MCCormick Gallery has worked with the artist's estate for 16 years which is admirable. Wouldn't it be neat if she had gotten her due within her lifetime? But we can say that about artists like Helen Frankethaler too. Sure they had the odd article praising them but compared to their male counterparts? Nothing. If you disagree with this? I would feel fine punching you in the face. Thank goodness galleries like McCormick are championing these women artists today.

My violent tendencies aside? Be sure to see this exhibit if you have a chance. If you shit money you can buy a piece or two.
