Brenda Goodman Retrospective at John Davis Gallery
John Davis Gallery presents 'Brenda Goodman: Work 1990-2010', a survey of the artist's output from two decades, on view until August 15. The exhibition includes capsule reviews by David Cohen and Roman Kalinovski. Goodman recounts that artist Kiki Smith encouraged her to approach galleries from a revisionist perspective, noting the rarity of self-portraits depicting a female nude artist in her studio surrounded by her tools and paintings. Goodman admitted she had not considered this angle, instead focusing on feelings of vulnerability in her studio.
