By JONATHAN GOODMAN April 3, 2025The late Lucas Samaras was outstanding both as a representational and abstract artist. In this show, all the chalk works and the sculptures are given to figurative imagery. The pastels are modest in size; they offer bold color schemes and a poetic ambience. The sculptural works are tabletop efforts that reprise earlier examples of three-dimensional art but, at the same time, stay contemporary by virtue of their bold handling of form.

By JONATHAN GOODMAN March 2, 2025Christopher Cozier, now in his sixties, is an artist of color with strong historical ties to South Africa and, more particularly in art, to David Krut Projects, a progressive gallery in Johannesburg. Krut’s New York satellite gallery, where I saw the show, occurs in the heart of Chelsea, whose affluence undermines the pointed (if also tacit) implications of Cozier's work.
