Chelsea Gallery Notes: Luisa Rabbia, Wendy White, James Welling, Eugen Schönebeck, Analia Saban, Adam Cvijanovic, Joe Fig, Chris Dorland, Martha Friedman, Christian Maychack, Saint Clair Cemin, Louise Fishman, and more.

The Chelsea gallery area stretches primarily from 29^th St. to 16^th St., between 10^th and 11^th Avenues. Generally when I go, I don’t have a set agenda, but typically visit the same places where I’ve seen good work in the past, plus randomly sticking my head in the door in others, to see if anything has changed. Today’s post shows what I saw in September. I’ve arranged the galleries from north to south. Most galleries will open their second shows of the season in the next two weeks.

Luisa Rabbia at Peter Blum, 526 W.29^th St.

Loved the little heads stuck to the wall.

Eugen Schönebeck at David Nolan, 527 W. 29^th St.

Joe Fig at Cristin Tierney, 546 W. 29^th St.

Chris Dorland at Winkelman Gallery, 621 W. 27^th St.

Nice riff on corporate logos, advertising and consumption. 

Martha Friedman at Wallspace, 619 W. 27^th St.

I stepped into the gallery and I thought: I wish I had done this. 

Christian Maychack at Jeff Bailey Gallery, 625 W. 27^th St.

Very interesting: idiosyncratic painting/sculpture hybrids. 

Saint Clair Cemin at Paul Kasmin, 515 W. 27^th St.

Mr. at Lehman Maupin, 540 W. 26^th St.

Julian Hoeber at Harris Lieberman, 508 W. 26^th St.

Nods to Bridget Riley and Josef Albers, but with doubts.

Louise Fishman at Cheim & Read, 547 W. 25^th St.

Fishman seems to be synthesizing Richter and De Kooning in this work.

Ruud van Empel at Stux Gallery, 530 W. 25^th St.

Too precious for me.
