Further highlights include Polly Apfelbaum's strips of textile that are combined to form a
colorfully woven
painting; Rashid Johnson's tropical enclave containing various unexpected elements from sculptures made with shea butter to video portraits; Katherine Bernhardt's monumental
painting with tropical birds, cuddly robots and cigarette stubs, which at once editorializes and summarizes modern culture and the artist herself; an interactive multimedia installation by Nedko Solakov comprising nine sofas in the
shapes of the nine Chinese characters constituting the phrase «I miss Socialism, maybe»; and Yu Hong's large - scale
painting depicting a famous Chinese fable widely cited in both modern Chinese art history and Chinese Communist narratives.
In addition to circles comprised of perfectly and
colorfully painted stripes, Tadasky has
painted his famous stripes on narrow rectangular and large triangular -
shaped canvases, but he always returned to the circular compositions.
Paintings and large - scale drawings of geometric
shapes — some
painted colorfully, some merely sketched in graphite — are presented for the first time since their 1974 debut at Heiner Friedrich's New York outpost.
