Tesfaye Urgessa’s The Strange Host, 2022WHAT INITIALLY CAUGHT MY EYE upon entering the classroom turned gallery currently dedicated to the work of Tesfaye Urgessa at the Rubell Museum in Washington, DC, was a depiction of Frida Kahlo: a quotation of her 1938 Self-Portrait with Monkey in the upper left corner of his painting The Strange Host, 2022.

Tony Bechara’s first solo exhibition with Lisson Gallery followed a curious format. The far end of the 508 West Twenty-Fourth Street space was reserved for a single canvas: 125 Colors, 1979. Like the eight other works on view, it featured a grid of differently hued squares, each one a quarter inch in length and width. On one adjacent wall were three paintings larger than the central composition; on the other were five smaller ones.

Cauleen Smith’s lyrical immersion in the poetry of Wanda ColemanWANDA COLEMAN’S POEMS radiate musical lyricism. The act is conscious, the sound and vision explicit and vibrant yet steeped in the timelessly familiar.

TO THE EDITOR: Thank you for including a mention of my summer 2023 exhibition, “Feminist Satire, No Safe Spaces,” at the Ujazdow-ski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art in Warsaw. I welcome coverage—including critical—of any exhibition of my work, but I didn’t expect the stern denunciation of my character, “anti-trans, anti-Muslim, and anti–sex worker,” supplied by Claire Bishop in “Capital Offenses: Cultural Whiplash in Warsaw” [November 2023].

Enchanted by the 1-54 Art Fair in Marrakech“THIS THING IS REALLY HERE TO STAY,” I heard a bejeweled collector proclaim on the steps of La Mamounia, the inimitably luxurious hotel located in the heart of Marrakech. And so began the fifth edition of the city’s 1-54 Art Fair. Other guests repeated the lady’s claim as the fair unfolded over the next four days. And they didn’t just say it: They gushed it, laughed it, and took my hand so that I would really believe it—and I did.
