“Ten: Modern Abstract”
Spotlighting how ten Arizona artists get to their own place within the broad genre of abstraction allows for some sifting. Some of the work here doesn't rise above blandness and design, but enough does to convince us its continual power to take us where we have not been. More...
“MOMMY”
