Nevelson, Penn, Morandi in Chelsea

Saturday 2/22 is the last day to see the extensive Morandi show at David Zwirner. Much the show you would expect (jugs!) but with the addition of some late landscapes. It's also the last day to see an amazingly curated show of Irving Penn's photographs (Pace, 508 West 25th). Hank Willis Thomas has picked pairs and trios of paintings from different periods in Penn's long career and from wildly different locations and has highlighted common formal properties. I think this is a show that would have startled the artist.

In good news, there's all the way until March 1 to see Louise Nevelson (Pace, 540 West 25th). I seem to see a Nevelson in every museum I visit, but this is different: the show ("Shadow Dance") includes a lot of very large-scale works and it's beautifully and soberly lit. No religious themes, but some of these would look great in a cathedral. Recommended.
