Rose Wylie "Which One" at DAVID ZWIRNER

James Kalm scooted to Chelsea through drizzling rain to capture some views of Rose Wylie’s “Which One” at David Zwirner. Wylie (born 1934) is a legend within the British art scene, and this show is the introduction of her work to the New York audience. Having first experienced Rose’s work at a FRIEZE Art Fair a couple of years ago, your correspondent has kept an eye pealed for more opportunities to see what this painter was up to. This group of Ab-Ex scaled works presents her urgent painterly response to Mexican Retablos paintings as well as some obscure lyrics from forgotten Beatles songs. A musical introduction is provided by Piers Lawrence. This program was recorded May 8, 2021. #jameskalmreport #jameskalmroughcut #lorenmunk
