Artcritical Launches TIPS Feature and Reviews Fall Season Openings in New York

Artcritical introduced two new features in October 2011: TIPS, where regular contributors share their personal hot lists of upcoming shows, and Bookmarked, a column where guests recommend art blogs and websites. Painter George Hofmann inaugurated the Bookmarked feature. The publication's fall coverage includes reviews of exhibitions across New York galleries: David Carrier writes on Per Kirkeby at Michael Werner Gallery, Greg Lindquist covers Loren Munk at Lesley Heller Workspace, Jonathan Goodman reviews Gabriel Orozco at Marian Goodman Gallery, and Maddie Phinney discusses Cory Arcangel at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Patricia Milder attended a performance by Noémie Lafrance at Black & White Gallery, while David Cohen reflects on Haunch of Venison's debut in its new Chelsea space. Book reviews feature David Carrier on avant-garde art in China and Rodney Palmer on Cuban avant-garde art. The October issue also includes remembrance pieces: Adele Tutter pairs Alexander McQueen with photographer Francesca Woodman in an essay about the Met's summer blockbuster, and Rebecca Park critiques the Met's handling of McQueen's attitude toward women. Tributes honor painters Susan Shatter and Stephen Mueller, and Ellen Handler Spitz contributes a personal essay on Leo Steinberg. The issue captures the energy of New York's fall art season, marked by solo exhibition openings in Chelsea and the Lower East Side after summer's group shows and gallery repairs.
