Lisa Yuskavage has GREAT problems with handling, facture, color, scale, and space. That doesn’t even enter issues of subject matter.
That being said, it was marvelous that the ICA had a retrospective of an artist with local roots. Same with Polly Apfelbaum. And great to hear they will be showing Patty Smith and Pepon Ossorio.
This is a trend that Patrick Murphy started–giving real credence to local talent on par with the International scene. I applaud the ICA and also find it ironic that it has been the Auslanders who have appreciated that talent. It wasn’t always the same.
