DENNIS OPPENHEIM AND ALLAN D'ARCANGELO
James Kalm combines a couple of exhibitions that have yet to find a slot in the roster. Dennis Oppenheim is a stalwart of the Soho art community, a participant in Land and Body Art. This show at Janos Gat Gallery features proposals for large-scale public works that hover somewhere between sculpture and architecture. Mitchell-Inness & Nash presents Allan D'Arcangelo Paintings 1962-1982. D'Arcangelo (1930-1998) is one of the greatest if under recognized Pop masters. This is his first New York retrospective since 1979. Employing images from everyday life and the media, D'Arcangelo melded a simplified directness with an abstract sensibility that achieves the quality of high-speed American icons. The pictures often depicting highways signage combined with pin-up cheesecake.

That chap at the beginning didn't look human! Must be an area 51 escapee! lol. The concept of the Marilyn painting was really good, better than just Warhol printing the same image again and again in everything he did.
