Mark Bradford’s art of glass

'Bradford cares 'deeply about the project and what happens to it.' But a far deeper impression has been left by 'the people I’ve come to know.'

In conversation: Pat Steir with Pepe Karmel

‘I don’t have to have one style. I don’t have one hairdo in my whole life. I don’t have one jacket. Why should I have one style to identify myself? My groups of paintings are like bodies of work. They can last for a year or ten years. But they’re all research for me.’

Glenn Ligon: 'The idea of coal dust being elevated into the space of art was something that interested me'

‘Baldwin talks about how the place of the 'disesteemed' is where you learn the most about how a society functions. The idea of coal dust, a waste product, elevated into the space of art was something that interested me.’

Pat Steir at Hauser & Wirth

‘Steir’s paintings appear to revel solely in the pigment’s optical and physical properties as a haptic material. And because color is primarily a matter of light, her specific focus on the color blue makes light itself an integral ingredient in the work’s visual dynamism. As such, these paintings also nod to the ineffable subjectivity of perception.’

Critic's Picks: 'Implicit Explicit'

‘The show is rife with tensions between old and new, banality and wonder; and puts a thematic emphasis on materiality, feminism, and environmental destruction… exhibitions like this underscore how materials and techniques traditionally associated with functional or folk art can amplify meaning and symbolism.’

Critic's Picks: Gerhard Richter

'In the exhibition, however, the scenes can speak for themselves. The coolly understated photographs reveal Richter’s quiet, private appreciation of the environment.'

'I had an understanding of art, and with that I wanted to introduce critical thinking into studio practice, not as something ancillary but central.'
