The eternal joy of an attentive mind: Agnes Martin continued to work until several months before her death in December.

March 1, 2005... In 1969, when he was not quite 25, Joseph Kosuth published an essay about art that quickly became a founding text of Conceptualism. Called "Art after Philosophy," it was, and remains distinguished above all by its fervor. Philosophy is dead,...

David Altmejd at Andrea Rosen.(New York)(art exhibitions)
March 1, 2005... Given how many reflective surfaces (mirrors, Plexiglas, crystals) David Altmejd uses in his sculptural installations, it's apt that his underlying meanings stare us back in the face with a perplexing symmetry. Was this show (his first at Rosen)...

Beatriz Milhazes at James Cohan.(New York)
March 1, 2005... When Clement Greenberg dismissed decoration as "the specter that haunts modernist painting," he tacitly acknowledged its formal resemblance to the nonobjective canvases he championed. Indeed, Greenberg's psychically freighted language posited...

Kelly McLane at CRG.(New York)(paintings)
March 1, 2005... It's a first-rate painting that can, without specific geographic references, evoke the nature of a place. Such is the case with Kelly McLane's The New Autobahn, a depiction of a sulfurous body of water, discarded tires and sickly-looking birds...

Elena Sisto at Littlejohn.(New York)(paintings)
March 1, 2005... "From Life," as this show is titled, can only be taken ironically, for even though Elena Sisto works from observation, her subjects are toy figurines, no more "alive" than the imaginary daughters she depicted in her last solo show. In these new...

March 1, 2005... Peter Greaves is interested in the high finish and small format of traditional portrait miniatures. His tiny drawings and paintings, many less than 2 inches high and wide, show the tightly framed, partly cropped heads of young girls and women...

Lucy Williams at McKee.(New York)

Elise Siegel at Garth Clark.(New York)(sculptors)
March 1, 2005... Lined up demurely in two tidy facing rows, the dozen little girls of Elise Siegel's 24 Feet seem to squirm in their straight-backed wooden chairs. Given only from the waist down, their hollow bodies are formed from hand-shaped, fired and...

St. Clair Cemin at Brent Sikkema.(New York)

Theresa Hackett at Florence Lynch.(New York)(paintings)
March 1, 2005... In a pluralist art world we can no longer count on being periodically embraced by a zeitgeist, but instead find ourselves buffeted by squalls of mini-zeitgeists, each with its own claim to representing a shift in general sensibility and a...

Hunt Slonem at Marlborough Chelsea.(paintings)

Karen Lebergott at Sonnenschein.(paintings)

Carolyn Swiszcz at Gallery Co.(Minneapolis)(paintings)
