"Confluencias 2: Arte Cubano Contemporaneo," at the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque, assembles what organizers are calling the largest group show of contemporary Cuban art to occur in the United States, since Alfred Barr in 1944 mounted "Modern Painters of Cuba" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

LEANNE GOEBEL ON THE REOPENING OF DONALD JUDD'S CONCRETE WORKS IN MARFA, TEXAS

"Society is basically not interested in art," Donald Judd said. "Art has a purpose of its own." That purpose can be discovered in Marfa, Texas, where the weekend of 9 October marked the annual celebration of Judd and the re-opening of 15 works in concrete which have been restored.


VICTOR M CASSIDY ON CHIACGO'S BARBARA CRANE SEASON

Chicago is in the midst of a Barbara Crane festival with three exhibitions of her photographs going on all at once.

BOB NICKAS ON BERND RIBBECK AT HARRIS LIEBERMANN, NEW YORK


Bernd Ribbeck's small paintings and works on paper build intricate geometric structures with nods to Modernist and ornamental design. Pairing non-traditional artistic mediums like ballpoint pen and marker with acrylic and varnish, Ribbeck introduces a bold, gestural energy to his paintings on MDF. This is the first solo show in the US for the Ger...read more...

DOUG MCCLEMONT ON URS FISCHER AT THE NEW MUSEUM, NEW YORK

Urs Fischer got tongues wagging last week in New York. The 38-year-old, Swiss-born New Yorker has, with the encouragement of curator Massimiliano Gioni invaded The New Museum with his provocative and spectacular sculptural notions.

The show closes on 11 November.

ANNE SONGHURST: SAATCHI ONLINE CRITIC'S CHOICE BY ANA FINEL HONIGMAN

Anne Songhurst's luscious oil-on-board still lives are beautiful homages to genuine maturity. Songhurst is one of a few self-taught artists whose work clearly benefited from being untouched by art school training, in which contemporary art schools tend to teach artists how to think rather than how to paint. Songhurst's lovely, lush images carry wi...read more...

JOHN HOYLAND : STAR THROWER
beaux arts london
Artypete

Although there isn't really any
surprises here, (it is after all
abstract expressionism) the works are
enjoyable in their simplicity.

Rating:

The Shandy Collection
THE ARTS GALLERY
Artypete

A very unique collection of artworks,
the excellently named 'Shandy
Collection' adds some warmth and
humour to the current string of
amateur collections be presented.

Rating:

HENRIK OLESEN : MR. KNIFE AND MRS. FORK
STUDIO VOLTAIRE, LONDON
Peter Piper Picked A Pepper

I found the artwork of Olesen
confusing and funny. It obviously is
very influenced by the conceptual
artists. It took me a while to digest
it.

Rating:

BRUCE MCLEAN : NEW WORKS
Bernard Jacobson, London
Artypete

New Live Talking Sculpture seems to be
completely at odds with the guys
paintings: flaccid and pretty in a
meek way, the bumbling awkward
performance injects some much needed
life.

Rating:

NICOLAS DEMETRIO : OBSCURUM PER OBSCURIUS
22 Gallery
Artypete

Don't be completely put off by the
pretentious title, some of the works
have something to them, on the whole
rather bland, but occasionally some
sculptural treats.
