Shirley Jaffe Abandons Grid for Playful Rectangles
Shirley Jaffe's artwork represents a move away from strict geometric abstraction, substituting rigid grids for more fluid, whimsical rectangles that encompass interior shapes. This evolution is emphasized in a review featured on artcritical. In another context, the ADAA's established fair, scheduled to coincide with The Armory Show at the piers, showcases premium historical and contemporary pieces, leading to persistent confusion regarding the names of the two events.
