Rhomboid Rumba was a big hit last week. I loved curating it. So when images continued to arrive, I was tempted to extend the idea into a second post. Then as I was out and about, I photographed a few more.  You know what that means: mas, mas y mas. So . . . this post is a Diamond Deux, a Parallelogram P.S. And it just so happens that many of these works are in shows that are up now.

At the Met, Richard Serra Drawing: A Retrospective, through August 28: Richard Serra, Untitled, 1973, paintstick and charcoal on paper, 50 x 38 inches

At Matthew Marks, in the small gallery next to the Jasper Johns exhibition, a selection of work including this one: Ellsworth Kelly, Yellow Panel, 1980, oil on canvas, 118.5 x 94.75 inches

At June Kelly Gallery, Ex Pluribus Unum, a solo show by James Little, through June 21: James Little, If Only . . ., 2010, oil and wax on canvas, 72.50 x 94 inches

(I love how that sextet of attenuated and sharply delineated parallelograms slices through the orange ground and then merges abruptly into the quieter rhythm of the softer stripes)
