Art trip through New York: the end of the world another day
June 20, 2023 - Lisa Berins for FrankfurterRundschau
It's hot, the streets are dusty: the sun was just before its summer turning point and had set glisteningly, aligned exactly with the street grid, at the end of the high-rise canyons. "Manhattanhenge" is what people in New York call it, they push themselves to the busy intersections, fearless in traffic, to shoot the perfect picture. Then the sooty, tawny smoke from Canada's wildfires swept across the streets, turning the city into an eerie backdrop: the end of the world seemed imminent. He didn't come, for now. Instead, you saw something blossom; a vision, or at least a possible promising future. With a seismographic flair, the art scene takes a look beyond the current situation. In the museums and galleries of the metropolis: female and diverse perspectives, self-determination.

On View Is an Ethel Schwabacher Revival at Hand? Peek Inside the Nearly Sold-Out Show of the Abstract Expressionist’s Rarely Seen Works
May 26, 2023 - Sarah Cascone for Artnet News
It’s been 30 years since Ethel Schwabacher had a proper solo show in New York City. But in the 1950s, she was at the forefront of the Abstract Expressionist movement, showing vibrant canvases with bold colors, fluid brushstrokes, and even snippets of poems at the Betty Parsons Gallery in New York.
“Ethel was a poet as well, so she would put lines of her poetry in her paintings—which for the 1950s was way ahead of its time,” Christine Berry, cofounder of New York’s Berry Campbell Gallery, told Artnet News.
