The next one, to open on Feb. 17 at its 21st Street gallery in Chelsea, is «In the Studio,» a show of paintings of artists» studios by some 40 artists from the 18th through the 20th centuries.

We knew that the show couldn't be an exhaustive survey of self - portraiture but we started by thinking about the Van Dyck painting and what makes it so important: the fact that the artist caused such a seismic shift in the approach to portraiture in the 17th century that was to last for at least the next three centuries; that his portraits were a form of «self - advertisement» and show an acute awareness of his identity and public image as a successful artist; that it was his final self - portrait, made in the last year of his life at the age of 42 and that his various self - portraits (there are seven known in total) trace his life as an artist.

A joyously crowded exhibition aiming to mingle contemporary artists with so - called «outsiders,» this show also includes pieces that aren't strictly art at all — like a 19th - century Japanese futon cover hung next to (and partially under) a dyed - textile painting by Cheryl Donegan.
