But unlike those, this one looks back at underappreciated artists, which, like it or not, is part of our age. <BR/>Loving is terrific.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694556.post-15801111514034085292008-01-08T22:50:00.000-05:002008-01-08T22:50:00.000-05:00These remind me a bit of Erick Sall.

I...Martin,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the mention of my Miami posts. I just made up the term "material abstraction" because of the wealth of materiality, stuff-ness, with which so much work there was made. So it's interesting to know that Loving used the term to describe his work. It's certainly appropriate.<BR/><BR/>By the way, another material abstractionist was the Italian, Alberto Burri, whose survey show is up at Mitchell-Innes and Nash through January 19th. Burri worked with arte povera materials. I didn't love everything--the burned plastic looked too 60s, which is probably when the work was made; the fired clay, too contrived --but his geometric paintings of oil and a touch of gold leaf on Celotex are powerful.Joanne Matterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02564594823192456546noreply@blogger.com
