2012 | Best Emerging Artist Show

Coniff, a recent Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design grad, had his tongue firmly in cheek when he conjured up this collection of oddball pieces.

2011 | Best Update of a Longstanding Colorado Tradition

For whatever reason -- maybe because of the way the mountains stand out crisply and firmly against the sky -- hard-edge abstraction has deep roots in Colorado, going back more than half a century to the work of Aspen's Herbert Bayer.

Adam Helms. This solo in the MCA's Paper Works Gallery is the New York artist's first museum show anywhere. In his works on paper and in a monumental sculpture that conjures up a shooting blind, Helms explores political themes, especially armed st... More »
Current | Laura Fayer

By Michael Paglia | Thu, April 26, 2007

There's something about abstraction that keeps it keeping on, despite a fairly successful assault from postmodernism's conceptual realism that posits a sharp rejoinder to abstraction's decorative tendencies. And sure, painting itself has long been... More »
