Recommended reading! Reviews of 'Andrea Bowers' from @delmonico_books @mcachicago & @hammer_museum and 'Louise Fishman' from @karmabookstore are up now @bookforum @franbigman writes, "Bowers, who is based in Los Angeles, was trained in the early 1990s at CalArts in a Conceptualism that stressed both intellectualism and dematerialization; she embraces the first but rejects the second, becoming a feminist Conceptual artist whose laboriously crafted work becomes, in Sanromán’s words, 'an art commodity, a piece of political propaganda, and a form of public history.'" And: "A lavishly illustrated collection of both new and republished essays, 'Louise Fishman' convincingly argues that her work challenges received ideas about the machismo of Abstract Expressionism and its incompatibility with Minimalism. Fishman’s paintings turn energetic, intuitive applications of mineral-colored paint—using brushes, spades, brooms, or her fingers—into gridded, modular forms, creating a combination of density and airiness, of negative space and built-up paint chipped away to expose underlying layers. Fishman, writes contributor Andrew Suggs, 'rages within the rectangle.'"
