Mark Grotjahn's Rising Market Status Examined in Dual Shows

Two concurrent exhibitions in New York explore Mark Grotjahn's early and recent work, highlighting his increasing market prominence. At Anton Kern Gallery, "BLUE PAINTINTS LIGHT TO DARK ONE THROUGH TEN" runs until February 28, featuring a series of blue paintings. Simultaneously, PaceWildenstein presents "ROBERT MANGOLD: COLUMN STRUCTURE PAINTINGS" through March 10, though the title suggests a focus on Mangold, the article context indicates Grotjahn's rising status. The shows are part of a broader examination of geometric abstraction, as seen in the group exhibition "Geo/Metric," which argues that geometry in art has achieved freedom for fresh starts. Joe Fyfe's exhibition at James Graham & Sons also runs until March 10.
