Esteban Cabeza de Baca at Garth Greenan Gallery

Drawing on inspiration from his Spanish, Mexican, Apache and Zuni ancestry and the landscape of the American Southwest, Esteban Cabeza de Baca manifests spiritual and political concepts in paintings and sculpture now on view at Garth Greenan Gallery. The clay outline of a human form set before a mountainous landscape in this painting ‘Vessels’ also exists as a sculpture in gallery. Painted or in three dimensions, it signals an in-between state of existence, for Cabeza de Baca, a freedom in pursuing decolonized thought. (On view through March 13th. Masks and social distancing required). Esteban Cabeza de Baca, Vessels, acrylic on canvas, 60 x 60 inches, 2020.

THE FRIDAY PIC is “Pink Winged Victory,” a 1960 sculpture by Rosalyn Drexler, from her solo show at Garth Greenan gallery in New York.

I wrote a few words about the show for today’s New York Times, but figured that this image was a bit too ... vulvic ... to run there. But here’s what I wrote about it and the other works in the show:

Thinking back on the postwar era when he emerged as a sculptor, Robert Morris said that the “great anxiety” was “to fall into the decorative, the feminine, the beautiful, in short, the minor.” What he didn’t mention: that almost all art by women was bound to be described by those adjectives, and dismissed.

That leaves me all the more astounded by the early work of Rosalyn Drexler, still working today at 96. Created in the years around 1960, the art in this show fearlessly trumpets its femaleness.

A wacky little sculpture called “Pink Winged Victory,” not quite nine inches tall, seems to be a biomorphic, almost abstract riff on the figure of Nike from the Louvre, with the addition of a prominent vulva. “Fat Lady,” a sculpture that’s barely bigger, depicts its subject as a pair of spindly green-and-black striped legs with a big pink blob proudly sitting on top — this, at a moment when plus-size women were hardly celebrated and when pinks and pastels were considered taboo in women’s art, as the critic Lucy Lippard once recalled.

At Garth Greenan, a dozen tiny drawings done in brightly colored markers could almost pass as the work of an ebullient child, except that their subjects are frankly pornographic. In the sex acts depicted, Drexler seems to dwell on the woman’s pleasure.

And yet, given that most of the objects here would barely crowd a night stand, it feels as though Drexler could not yet imagine her vision of empowered womanhood as something for full-scale public consumption.

“I have traveled a lot and have lived in other countries, but the root of my knowledge about art started in Philadelphia.” —Howardena Pindell

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Howardena Pindell grew up learning about art in this city. Her recent paintings, including "Songlines: Cosmos," are unstretched canvases that invite slow, immersive engagement through their large scale and meticulous construction. As the title to this painting conveys, Pindell’s canvases conflate her assemblage of everyday materials with the cosmic dust of the universe. See these details for yourself in "New Grit: Art & Philly Now."
