Artcritical Archive Features Basquiat, Armory Show Coverage, and Multiple Exhibitions

The archive of Artcritical encompasses coverage of Jean-Michel Basquiat, along with various exhibition critiques and insights into the art scene. In 2009, The Armory Show commenced, with editor David Cohen observing the fair's vibe amid economic challenges, emphasizing its growth beyond just a primary-market giant. An exhibition at Cheim & Read, running from September 20 to November 3, 2007, showcased works related to themes such as Pieter Brueghel the Elder's "Triumph of Death" (circa 1562). Two distinct exhibitions spotlighted contemporary artists from New Orleans and those linked to the city. Another show examined artistic interpretations of mass incarceration. Painter Ogden's creations were noted for evoking a mix of anxiety and excitement. Additionally, an excerpt from "Lucian Freud: Eyes Wide Open," a new biography, was included, alongside a selection of Spanish masterpieces that prompted in-depth analysis earlier that year.
