By JOHN DRURY June 20, 2025The act of collection, has informed the work of many artists. It is in fevered accumulation – dare I say, a fetishization – that reverence for places and things are in minutia and numbers, allowed voice in commonality through the camera lens of Tom Warren.

By JOHN DRURY May 26, 2025 Downtown was once peppered with these places – these not-for-profits, in addition ABC No Rio – Jeanette Ingberman and Papo Colo’s great EXIT ART (1982-2012; bringing many now established makers to light) and the decade long run of the Thread Waxing Space (1991-2001), to name but a few; venues generally begun by artists, for artists, serving first, an unrestricted creativity; that not merely catering to desperate sales and the deep pockets of collectors, as granted...

By JOHN DRURY May 6, 2025When striving beyond the mere decorative in pursuit of producing a greater statement in the arts, timing is everything. The best in art, is a reflection of the day’s events in which it is made, and the greatest artists seem to have the ability to see concurrently then, beyond that constructive moment, also forward.

By JOHN DRURY April 1, 2025There was a place I so liked to go - a pilgrimage - mostly gone now for my aesthetic purposes, where far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life, one might lose themselves in the wooded marvel of the Pacific Northwest and the homage to natural wonder that the artist George Sawchuk had composed there.

By JOHN DRURY February 4, 2025There was no Ayiti Toma I, and this exhibition organized by Tomm El-Saieh, at the Luhring Augustine Gallery, is meant to mark by its naming, that egregious absence. Tomm El-Saieh is the grandson of musician, orchestra leader and gallery owner Issa El-Saieh (1919-2005).

By JOHN DRURY October 2, 2024The Drawing Center had on offer a lot to see, and digest, in its space throughout the summer months – that inside its SOHO footprint which is relatively small in comparison the city’s mega-galleries; but that an effort which tackled the huge subject of Antiguan artist Francis Archibald Wentworth Walter, was nonetheless thorough and informingly dense.
