Kalm had glanced in the front window of Mathew Marks Gallery a week
before visiting this show. Seeing these large monochrome paintings, he
assumed this might be a retrospective. Upon returning, and reading the
press release, he realized this was an exhibition of recent paintings,
and that it represented a new direction in the work of this American
Master. "New Paintings and Drawings" is composed of several major
paintings, some single pieces others multi paneled, that employ a
limited palette of deep toned hues, rectangular canvases that have been
divided into an upper near square section of obsessively worked pigment
and a lower rectangular margin that exposes the physical properties of
paint and the process of fabrication. Accompanying the paintings are
drawings depicting rhythmic fields of glyphs, and punctuation like
symbols, alluding to the underlying structures of the compositions. A
musical introduction is provided by Hollywood Anderson and was recorded
on the Grand Central/Time Square subway shuttle. This program was
recorded December 19, 2015 in Chelsea.
