exhibition · 2026-05-01

The artcritical archives from the Max Protetch Gallery include critiques of exhibitions featuring artists such as Thomas Nozkowski, David Reed, Byron Kim, and Siah Armajani, among others. Nozkowski's works at Max Protetch (511 W. 22nd Street, New York, until March 18 and December 20) have been characterized as oxymoronic, showcasing a blend of bravura reticence and grandiose humility, drawing parallels to Beckett, Raging Bull, and Dylan. David Reed's exhibition concluded on December 23. Additional artists reviewed include Kamrooz Aram at Perry Rubinstein, Alfredo Jaar at Galerie Lelong, and others like Susan Rothenberg, Julian Hatton, and Zhang Huan. The archive also highlights Howard Hodgkin at Gagosian Gallery and Garth Evans at Lori Bookstein.
