"Artist's gallery"
Another art world biography to add to your bookshelves. Annie Cohen-Solal signed my copy of her well-researched, opinionated portrait of Leo Castelli at her recent lecture at the American Library of Paris.

De Kooning
Rarely is writing about art this good. Highly recommend Mark Stevens and Annalyn Swan's Pulitzer Prize winning biography of the Willem de Kooning.

A Sea Change
For the August 4, 2008 issue of The New Yorker, Peter Schjeldahl wrote about "After Nature", a group show currently at the New Museum (July 17—September 21), that I just saw in New York. Curator Massimiliano Gioni's exhibition, "After Nature", referencing Werner Herzog's Lessons in Darkness (1992), Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalyptic The Road (2006) and W.G. Sebald's book-length poem After Nature, reveals, according to Schjeldahl, "a shift of emphasis, from surface to depth, and a shift of mood, from mania to melancholy, shrugging off the allures of the money-hypnotized market and the spectacle-bedizened biennials circuit. (In fact the underappreciated Whitney Biennial hinted at the mutation.) It's fashion auditioning as a sea change."
