SHANDAKEN
CALENDAR
One
of the best exhibits to hit the Catskills in memory
is now up at the quietly influential Catskill
Mountain Foundation Gallery in Hunter, NY, "Legacy: Generations
Working In Abstract Expressionist and Minimalist Traditions,"
brings together such masters as Sol Lewitt, the cultural icon
who basically invented conceptualism, and pioneered minimalism,
and Joop Sanders, one of the founders of Abstract Expressionism
with his pals Wilhem de Kooning and Jackson Pollack, along with
younger mid-career artists such as Melinda Stickney-Gibson
of Phoenicia; James Holl of Catskill; Woodstock photographer
Jeff Milstein; Coxsackie painter Lynn Dreese Breslin; Kingston
sculptor/painter Jonah Meyer; Hudson‚s Cindy Coulter;
and the amazingly visceral steel and bronze sculptor John Sanders,
son of Joop (seen above), who has pushed expressionism into
new, fire-molded forms and processes. Legacy stays up through
May 16. For further information visit www.catskillmtn.org
