In Shakinovsky's small abstract oils fashioned
out of cut and
bent canvas and paper, and other mixed media works, she is interested in shifting the viewer's perspective — whether it be visually or conceptually — to notice or think something not thought a moment before.
In a market moment obsessed with the often - spurious aesthetic innovations
of its youngest artists, Honor Fraser's booth provided a welcome measure
of historical perspective, showing paintings by fresh - faced stars (
bent canvases by Kaz Oshiro, KAWS's latest abstractions, a big Sarah Cain) alongside some pretty cutting - edge compositions that turned
out to be by — shocker — a bunch
of supposedly tame midcentury names.
