★ Raymond Pettibon: «To Wit» (closes on Saturday) Incisive, hyper - verbal and
frequently profane, Raymond Pettibon's latest installation of drawings and collages is one of his best in years.
The Nevada - born, Los Angeles - based artist's
frequently profane text quilts (this one seems to be an exception) are part of a larger sculptural practice, which includes assemblages with a frontier resourcefulness and a no - nonsense attitude.
With its irresistible mix of sardonic, slangy — and
frequently profane — language and painful bursts of vibrant imagery, This Is How You Lose Her is a triumph.
