Stern verve: Joseph Zito at Lennon, Weinberg

Contributed by Jonathan Stevenson / The artist’s weight in ominous lead slabs, a combat helmet spilling with rose petals — in another artist’s hands these conceptual pieces would probably seem trite or overbearing. But Joseph Zito’s unerringly fine calibrations of irony combined with his formidable technical range and astutely Gober-esque deployment of different materials — all on full display in installations cagily concatenated for a thirty-year retrospective at Lennon Weinberg in Chelsea — enables him to steamroller cliche and proceed directly to cool-eyed poignancy.
