Art-99; a 99 word review.

Joe Fyfe @ James Graham and Sons through March 7, 2009

Graham, relocated to 32 East 67th after 56 years at 1014 Madison, reinvigorates its contemporary department with the help of Brooklyn savant Joe Fyfe. Fyfe curated last summer's Color Climax, an audacious assault on MoMA's Color Chart and presently opens a solo show in two large rooms. In one, restraint is the order of the day: a long series of monochrome fabric collages identically sized and spaced, its variation confined to straight horizontals and verticals. In the other room, an antic mood smiles.  Textiles of joyous coloration are joined in jaunty patchwork compositions like irregular grids.  Even polka dots pertain.
