Two Coats Obituaries
- Bushwick’s Tim Gowan August 12, 2023Even though making art is often an experience that happens in the solitude of one's studio, it rarely occurs in a vacuum. Artists rely on each other for support, reinforcement, inspiration, and challenge, forming communities to avoid feeling like fish out of water in this world. Tim Gowan was one of those artists who cherished […]

Swedish-born and UK-based, artist, activist, writer and eco-feminist Monica Sjöö (31 December 1938 - 8 August 2005) fought for freedom from oppression, but especially for women’s rights. “THE GREAT COSMIC MOTHER” @modernamuseet is her first retrospective. Swipe for the image that was considered blasphemous and obscene in the 1970s.
Rejecting abstract art as a Western male privilege, she asked: “How does one communicate women’s strength, struggle, rising up from oppression, blood, childbirth, sexuality – in stripes and triangles?”

In the studio of Prince Eugen Napoleon Nicolaus of Sweden and Norway, Duke of Närke (1 August 1865 – 17 August 1947) was a Swedish painter, art collector, and patron of artists. Swipe through for a wide angle of his attic studio. Yes, it has a water view :) #stockholmartist #Waldemarsudde #Djurgården #princeeugen #landscapepainting

Latest post, link in profile / Ed Ruscha’s retro spective / Contributed by Laurie Fendrich / The work of the Los Angeles artist Ed Ruscha is often referred to as a West Coast version of Pop Art. The implication, of course, is that since it didn’t come out of New York, it must be inferior. His retrospective “Now Then,” his first at the Museum of Modern Art and first in New York since 1983, contains over 200 works from 1958 to the present…. Despite its outward similarity to conceptual art and New York Pop Art, Ruscha’s work feels decidedly different. Link in profile

New post, link in profile / Selected Paintings from SPRING/BREAK NYC 2023 / Contributed by Fay Sanders and Bob Szyantyr / In a shift befitting this year’s theme, !WILD CARD!, the Spring/Break Art Show departs from its past trajectory of more-and-bigger spectacle, year after year. Building on the “Secret Show” of this past spring, which returned to the Old School where the fair began, the organizers asked artists for this year’s show at 625 Madison to revisit past themes with a mix of nostalgia, homage, and cheekiness.

When I got the email from @alexandregallery yesterday, announcing that they were presenting a clutch of #lorenmaciver paintings @independent_hq, I scrambled for a press ticket to the preview so I could see the work one more time before it passed into private hands. The fair, located on the waterfront next to the Staten Island Ferry, was nothing if not elegant, and the MacIvers didn’t disappoint. Here are details of a MacIver and some other pieces that caught my eye. Then I walked over to Pier 11 and took the ferry back to the studio in Dumbo. Great morning 💥Sorry not to have images of the Sigmar Polke photographs — knockout @sieshoeke — Kenwyn Critchlow paintings @dianerosenstein, the Mary Dill Henry paintings and notes @hauserwirth, Emilio Cruz @corbettvsdempsey, and others. If you can’t make it to the fair, go look them up. Tags to come, but feel free to identify in the comments.
