James Kalm unadvisedly pedaled to the Upper East Side on a gridlock alert day, to record some video of George Condo Paintings and Drawings at Skarstedt. Having been introduced to George in the early 1980s, your correspondent has kept an eye on the developments of this painter’s practice ever since. A survey of recent works, this show has some mammoth paintings of “heads” as well as a pair of galleries of drawings and works on paper which presents Condo as a draftsmen’s draftsman. A selection of over video reports and an review of George’s work in relations to KITSCH are posted below. This program was recorded November 15, 2019.
