One could speculate that Frida Kahlo might have expressed strong disapproval towards the Museum of Modern Art’s current promotional initiative, which coincides with their latest exhibition. Néstor David Pastor López offers a critique, describing the exhibition as a ‘clumsy interpolation’ that draws inspiration from an opera centered on her relationship with Diego Rivera.
This edition pays tribute to the radiant and expressive artworks of Pat Steir, who sadly passed away at the age of 87 this week. Artist Claudia Hart also offers a heartfelt tribute to the late Asher Remy-Toledo, a fervent advocate of media art who provided unwavering support to her and numerous others within the New York City art community.
The issue further includes updates on a variety of topics, such as the New School’s decision to reduce its workforce by 15%. Additionally, Senior Editor Valentina Di Liscia presents the latest edition of Art Movements, while John Yau explores two exhibitions that remind us that ‘the miraculous can still happen if we retain a sense of wonderment and humor.’
