MONTHLY PICK FROM ART FORUM

Cutting through the hype, here's my monthly pick(s) of best visuals from Art Forum. So, in the May issue ... well, so first of all, Jackson Pollock's "Number 16" (1949) blows everything away. But it's not that interesting to say Pollock. Nothing unpredictable either about the rest of my picks, except perhaps to note that the young un's need to step up their game. I laud (subject to reproduction's effects):

Glenn Brown (ad for a Gagosian exhibit)
Richard Tuttle (ad for Sperone Westwater)
Francis Bacon's "Study for Innocent X", 1962
