Want to see new art in New York this weekend? Check out a Picasso tribute or Duane Linklater's painted textiles in TriBeCa; works by Nicole Eisenman and Rosemarie Trockel on the Upper East Side and Ali Cherry's mud sculptures on the Lower East Side.
Much of the work, which naturally favors painting, evinces clear stylistic or compositional Picasso flourishes, some obvious (Cubist guitars, wonky eyes), others, like Joe Andoe's deadpan Me copying Twombly painting Picasso (2011), with conceptual humor. (Twombly's 1988 facsimile of Picasso's 1939 Femme a la Couronne des Fleurs is on view in an expanded version of this show at the Museo Picasso Malaga.) Works like Louise Bourgeois's Portrait of C.Y. (1947-1949) display subtler influence, internalizing Picasso's approach to exploding and reassembling the body.
