Eric Fischl: “Ten Breaths”
Mary Boone Gallery
Full of energy and stillness at once, Fischl’s dancers make a dramatic impact. The lighting has a lot to do with it though. It is lit as a stage rather than a gallery, which makes it an installation. Yet the pieces are decidedly sculptural. This piece was exciting to enter upon, but left me confused.

Thanks for the walkthrough! I don't get to NY, so it's great to see some samples although it's always better in person.

Glad you had, or are having, a nice trip to town. I can highly recommend Nathalie Djurberg's show to anyone having trouble keeping on a diet during the holidays. It's a super appetite suppressant.
