Merlin James Remembered by 21 Artists, Critics, and Friends
In tribute to the late painter Merlin James, editor David Cohen is joined by twenty-one artists, critics, and friends. James' exhibition took place at Kunste-Werke Berlin. Additionally, a group exhibition featuring Robert Bordo, Josephine Halvorson, and Merlin James is highlighted. A parallel is made between Merlin James and Thomas Demand, as both artists produce final images derived from their own crafted models. At the Brent Sikkema Gallery on West 22nd Street in New York, a visitor commented to James about the holes in his canvases, referring to them as 'shades of gray on the Richter scale.'
