As always, Abelow has the goods. In this case, it’s nice detail shots of the “interesting” parts of Al Held’s Alphabet Paintings at Cheim & Read, which are very nice.
The more time goes by, the paint goes down, the more paintings like this and the brushy little Blinky Palermos up at MoMA right now that I look at, the more I start to wonder if finish fetish is just not where it’s at for me after all.
