Press Coverage of this Exhibition

SCULPTURE TAKES ON A FRESH PROMINENCESeptember 12, 1982 By Michael Brenson"The 1982-83 exhibition season is, in a word, loaded. If, after recent polemical wars, there do not seem to be any predominant trends - either artistic or theoretical - in the presentation of the shows, that increased openness is in itself a change, reflecting either an unsettled or a less constrained state of the art world. There are shows on..."
ART VIEW; SCANDINAVIAN PLEASURES; WASHINGTON, D.C.September 19, 1982 By John Russell"How it is with the other Scandinavian activities that are bursting out all over the country under the aegis of the American-Scandinavian Foundation, I cannot say. But the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C., has got itself a show of Scandinavian painting between the years 1880 and 1910 that is both a pleasure to walk through and a major..."

Irresistible from the first glimpse onward, they could be mistaken for specimens of painting divorced from all objective significance. We have a sensation here and there of deep space, but as to what, if anything, is going on, there we..."
CRITICS' CHOICES: BEST IN ENTERTAINMENT THIS HOLIDAY WEEKENDNovember 26, 1982 By John Russell"Museums Like every other good exhibition, the Yves Klein show at the Guggenheim Museum, Fifth Avenue and 89th Street, results from an act of faith and an act of passion.

"Hi, I am trying to find the name of the artist who took and is in the photograph that follows- http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/exhibitions/664/Global_Feminisms_Remix/image/216/Global_Feminisms_Remix._%7C08032007_-_03032008%7C._Installation_view. I believe the artist takes pictures of herself dressed as a man but then exposes her femaleness, as in the photo of her dressed as an Ascetic Jew exposing her breast. Can you help me find her information? Thanks in advance- Aimee Record"
