WNYC Radio's Deborah Solomon reflects on "Jennifer Bartlett: Hospital" below.
On view through March 20. Wed-Sun 12-6pm | Thur 12-8pm
On view through March 20. "Bartlett, who is now 74, began her career as a Conceptual artist enamored of grids and mathematical systems. But life, unlike art, is neither gridded nor systematic, and the works in the show – pastels, all – are based on Bartlett’s distressing experiences as a patient at New York-Presbyterian Hospital in 2012. The strongest pieces capture the world beckoning outside her hospital windows. There are views of the East River in which the water mesmerizes with its harmonies of blues and greens; and views of the Triboro Bridge that endow New York with a bright Tiepolo sky. Bartlett finds so much pleasure in the urban landscape that the sidewalks of New York may look more alive to you after you leave the show."
