James Hyde Remembered by Friends and Critics

David Cohen recently organized a special event to celebrate the life of the late artist James Hyde, bringing together 21 fellow artists, critics, and friends. Among those present were Jason Farago, Seph Rodney, and Karen Wilkin. The conversations primarily explored Hyde's artistic style, especially its playful nods to the jazz rhythms of Stuart Davis. Hyde's work was featured in an exhibition at Brent Sikkema gallery that ran until February 5 at 530 W 22 Street, situated between 10th and 11th Avenues. The article mentioned that three Tiepolos at the Met, originally from Ca'Dolfin, lost their intended lighting, but Alpers, Hyde, and Kulok successfully recreated the atmosphere. Comparisons were also drawn between Hyde and other artists like Mr. Cemin and Ms. Leirner, while highlighting exhibitions from Petah Coyne, Diana Thater, and Cecily Brown.
