January 1, 2005... Ant Farm may be largely unknown to the general public, but many people, even those with little interest in contemporary art, will be familiar with the image of 10 vintage Cadillacs half-buried nose down in a field. Cadillac Ranch (1974), which...

The forensic eye: the latest work from Sally Mann, shown recently at the Corcoran Gallery, uses mostly antique photographic methods to explore themes of memory, death and decay.(Photography I)

January 1, 2005... The art historian Leo Steinberg began a long-ago lecture in Rome with a question that seemed designed to both quell and incite expectations in the eager audience: what is left to be said, he asked with approximated bafflement, about the art of...

The body according to Chadwick: with material ingenuity and anatomical candor, Helen Chadwick used photos, sculptures and ambitious installations to explore the physical basis of experience. A touring exhibition surveys this British artist's brief bright career.
January 1, 2005... The British artist Helen Chadwick was born prematurely in 1953 and died prematurely 43 years later. The first retrospective of her art, organized by London's Barbican Art Gallery, makes one thing clear: we lost not only her potential work but...

Rachel Harrison at Greene Naftali.(New York)
January 1, 2005... For all its apparent haphazardness, Rachel Harrison's new work adheres to a few steady principles. First impressions are designed to deceive. Raw is mixed with cooked, handmade with commercial, offhand with careful, cheap with pricey. And, a...

Phoebe Washburn at LFL.(New York)
January 1, 2005... Phoebe Washburn creates low-tech, room-size sculptures made up of a great many units of slightly varying appearance. Her rippling structures appear to be arrived at by chance but also rely on some tricky engineering. For her second New York...

Catherine Lee at Lelong.(New York)
January 1, 2005... Rocky, isolated and almost absurdly romantic, the Hebrides are a string of islands off the coast of Scotland. The series of recent sculptures (all 2003-04) that Catherine Lee named after these windswept outcroppings are, suitably, both...

Jon Gregg at 55 Mercer.(New York)
January 1, 2005... Jon Gregg's new paintings, mostly 52 inches square or 48 by 56 inches, can be read alternatively as handsome decorations, metaphysical games or restrained expressions of dark feeling. They derive their forms for the most part from large,...

Li-lan at Nabi.(New York)
January 1, 2005... Li-lan's pre-Internet world of postal artifacts conjures recent history and brings it into a bright, fresh, present tense. Like various artists of the Post-Minimalist, Pop-inflected persuasion, she has long exploited an only slightly dated or...

Paul Fenniak at Forum.(New York)
January 1, 2005... Nothing is simple in the young Canadian artist Paul Fenniak's mostly everyday scenes. Even when more than one figure is shown, each feels singularly isolated from the next and apparently unaware of what are largely banal surroundings. Fenniak's...

Jake Berthot at McKee.(New York)
January 1, 2005... Jake Berthot, an artist known for his long engagement with pure, painterly process, turned from abstraction to landscape in the mid-1990s; in this, his third New York show since then, we can glimpse some tendencies and continuities in his work....

Cindy Sherman at Metro Pictures.(New York)
January 1, 2005... It's a little surprising that Cindy Sherman hasn't explored clowns before. She has engaged for so long with things clownlike--exaggeration and masquerade; the notion of a shifting, unstable identity; and the boorish, pathetic and grotesque...

Andreas Gursky at Matthew Marks.(New York)
January 1, 2005... Walking into this exhibition, I thought that nothing could be more in conflict with the cool white spaces of the Matthew Marks Gallery than the first photograph, Untitled XIII (Mexico), 2002, which depicts a gigantic garbage dump. Rotting...

Deborah Roan at von Lintel.(New York)
January 1, 2005... However manipulated by computer software they appear to be, Deborah Roan's wide-format, multiply exposed photographs are the result of chance and mechanical process. Her subject is an unpeopled urban landscape--the buildings, displays, logos...

Miriam Schapiro at Kristen Frederickson.(New York)
January 1, 2005... In many circles, the word "feminist" (along with "liberal" and "intellectual") has become a pejorative label. This semi-retrospective exhibition of the work of Miriam Schapiro, one of the most influential of the so-called "first wave" feminist...

Bill Komoski at Feature.(New York)(Brief Article)
January 1, 2005... An inveterate surfer, Bill Komoski takes as his point of departure the play of light on the sea. Four large-scale paintings, representing Komoski's third solo exhibition at Feature (over an eight-year period), consumed the wall space of a...

Julia Jacquette at Michael Steinberg.(New York)

La Wilson at John Davis.(New York)
January 1, 2005... The new sculptures that the 80-year-old box-assemblage artist La Wilson presented this fall added up to one of her most self-assured bodies of work ever. The show at John Davis's new space was also her first in Manhattan in many years. Wilson,...

Vincenzo Amato at Earl McGrath.(New York)
January 1, 2005... Although sculptor Vincenzo Amato has lived in New York for over a decade, his artwork hasn't lost the allegria we associate with his sunny Italian homeland. That was the feeling, at least, received from his light and spirited show of eight...

Cheyney Thompson at Andrew Kreps.(New York)
January 1, 2005... Cheyney Thompson's installation "1998" consisted of many small paintings of realistically depicted building materials in a state of construction or demolition: nailed-together two-by-fours and particle boards, partial brick walls and fragments...

John Monti at Elizabeth Harris.(New York)
January 1, 2005... John Monti has exhibited regularly in New York since the mid-1980s. Against a fluctuating backdrop of stylistic convulsion he has single-mindedly pursued his own ideas. Monti's work is ingeniously devised and fabricated. His earliest wood...

John Grillo at Katharina Rich Perlow.(New York)
January 1, 2005... The legacy of Abstract Expressionism is complicated. While its groundbreaking phase goes back to the 1940s and early '50s, later generations of artists have continued to paint gesturally, acknowledging but not necessarily submitting to the...

Thomas Kiaer at DCA.(New York)
January 1, 2005... Thomas Kiaer's pictures, combining silkscreen and freewheeling brushwork, are indebted to Robert Rauschenberg. Like Rauschenberg, the Danish Kiaer gains considerable mileage from seemingly antithetical approaches to image making, one...

Alan Davie at ACA.(New York)
January 1, 2005... Fresh on the heels of Alan Davie's well-received retrospective at Tate St. Ives early last year, this New York gallery show of 49 paintings and works on paper was a surprisingly comprehensive and satisfying overview of the Scottish artist's...

January 1, 2005... There is a telling comparison contained within this small retrospective survey of the works of Angelo Ippolito (1922-2001), a second-generation Abstract Expressionist and founding member in the early 1950s of Tenth Street's Tanager Gallery, the...

T.L. Solien at Luise Ross.(New York)
January 1, 2005... Things are a mess in T.L. Solien's new paintings (all works 2003). In The Great Skate, laundry is piled on the chairs, candles drip wax onto stacked books and leftovers are everywhere. Mail looks as though it has just been tossed in the air but...

Greg Drasler at Van Brunt.(New York)
January 1, 2005... Titled "Claustrophilia Paintings," this recent show of large canvases by Greg Drasler was his first in New York since 1999. According to a statement by the New York-based artist, the exhibition centers on two distinct subjects: the corners of...

Nancy Chunn at Ronald Feldman.(New York)
January 1, 2005... Nancy Chunn's long-standing commitment to political issues provides the visual logic that made this 22-year survey function as a line of thought. Each of the often quite large paintings takes specific focus on the violent march of history....

January 1, 2005... Secure in his search for meaningful linkages among the things of the world, Christopher Knowles has devised a joyful means of expressing the organizing principles through a concrete poetry of typed words and drawings composed with type, ink and...

Brice Brown and Don Joint at Francis M. Naumann.(New York)
January 1, 2005... At first glance, the artists of this "visual marriage" seem to say little to each other over the apparent distance that separates their styles of painting. Brice Brown's oils on linen or canvas are fleshy and voluptuous, containing within their...

Don Joint at Prince Street.(New York)
January 1, 2005... Don Joint's show of 17 abstract paintings and drawings, his first New York solo, was buoyant, fresh and lively. Joint's paintings, the largest just over 6 feet wide, consist of numerous puzzle shapes of hard-edged, mostly flat color that range...

Barry Goldberg at Howard Scott and Larry Becker Contemporary.(New York And Philadelphia)
January 1, 2005... With its sensuous, molten sheen and thickness, encaustic has an endless allure. But, having worked with it for 20 years, Barry Goldberg seems to have moved past the romance phase with this technically challenging medium. His new abstract...

January 1, 2005... This retrospective, curated by Pamela Kort and Robert Storr, made a strong case for Jorg Immendorff's placement among the handful of most important German artists since World War II. Its secondary agenda, peeling away the 1980s...

Sanford Biggers at the Contemporary Arts Center.(Cincinnati)
January 1, 2005... Sanford Biggers's new work develops the artist's earlier explorations of hip-hop's ethos of participation and community-building into a critique--if not quite a condemnation--of the global commodification of black culture. One of two videos in...

Christina Shmigel at the St. Louis University Museum of Art.(St. Louis)
January 1, 2005... "Betwixt and Between," the title of Christina Shmigel's recent show, is also an apt metaphor for the position of the viewer. Several years ago, three utility closets in the French Revival mansion that houses the St. Louis University Museum of...
