James Cohan Gallery Archives: Mixed Reviews and Events

other · 2026-04-24

The James Cohan Gallery archive on artcritical features multiple reviews and notes. A second show with the gallery occurred on Grand Street this month. Robert C. Morgan argues that what is allegory in Chinatown is reality in rural China. The exhibition 'Mud Root Ochre Leaf Star' was on view on the Lower East Side earlier this year. Two recent shows featured new work by the Propeller Group. A brief history of a West Coast abstract expressionist's work is included. Three films by an artist are on view through May 7, described as a jarring intellectual and emotional experience. Lance Esplund, Kara Rooney, and Robert Storr appear as guests of David Cohen. An artist makes strange use of perspective and planes. An exchange from Facebook is noted. Reconstructed environments of pioneering cameraless films prefigure upcoming MoMA screenings.
