Simply stunned by this extraordinarily thoughtful, profound review by Ben Tarnoff in @NewYorker: "Lowry Pressly’s new book . defies this pattern. It is a radiantly original contribution to a conversation gravely in need of new thinking.".

a tremendous essay about a tremendous painter--I came away from it as from ND's paintings, with a sudden, subtle sense of seeing the world through newish eyes.
I had the privilege to write about the beautiful artist Noah Davis, his stunning yet unsteady & unsettling visual language, his battle with cancer & my own struggle with the disease for @ElephantMag. 🦄🖤Read the essay & see the show at the Barbican now:

Bay Area folks: I'll be having an open-ended public conversation with the art historian Alex Nemerov about the powers of unknowing, today at 430pm. Neither of us has any idea about what's going to transpire, so it should be interesting at least.

Very grateful for this beautiful, thoughtful review of The Right to Oblivion at @thenation. It's especially pleasing to see the book put into conversation with great Bernadette Mayer.
