More Armory Week here, here, here and here
.
Chelsea: Larry Zox at the Stephen Haller Gallery.
In this last post about Armory Week, I've rounded up the best of the geometric work I saw. I have a soft spot for hard edge, so that's where we'll begin, but you'll note some juicy materiality as well. And I have to say that the painting I loved best was not at the fairs at all but in Chelsea. I guess the moral for all you fairgoers is that you need to leave a couple of extra days to take in the galleries, too.

alfred jensen=awesome!
Love the Mary Heilman--clean crisp palette.
Not to slight others but yup,that Alfred Jensen painting rocks.
the Larry Zox and the Nola Zirin pieces are fabulous.
Joanne:
Nice post! And I'm throwing in my 2 cents on the Alfred Leslie. Maybe time for a re-recognition of his work...
I'm assuming that the Martin Kline is encaustic or wax?

Those Hamak pieces are first-rate--a lot is lost in the translation to digitalia. The materiality just seems impossible, then to see the canvas supports--hilarious. Glad you got a photo of those, Joanne.
oops...alfred jensen
my bad.
(it was a tough day)
pam
It's all good, but that Alfred Jensen from 1958 knocks me out!
Thank you yet again, Joanne.
much great stuff... but god I love alfred jensen.

Jensen is the clear winner here, with props to Mary Heilmann,Larry Zox, Nola Zirin, and Herbert Hamak.
What I liked about the Jensen is that it was tiny compared to some of the other work. I like that it had such power in its small frame.
