Delirious at the Met Breuer is an exhibition filled with beautiful but comparatively polite works by habitually transgressive artists.

The Presence of Paint: Baker Overstreet’s Pleasure Principle
Every now and then we realize how much we live in a digital mirage. Take Baker Overstreet’s show at Fredericks & Freiser. Although this is the artist’s fourth solo in New York, I hadn’t yet seen his work in the flesh, my only exposure being images and reviews.

Art, Life, Commercialism and Sexism in the New York School: Regina Bogat’s Story
Painter Regina Bogat has been involved the New York art world since the 1950s. (I promised not to reveal her age.) She had her first solo exhibition in the city in 1956, at Terrain Gallery, and her most recent one, Stars, which features colorful, vigorously messy paintings of different variations on the shape, is currently on view at Williamsburg’s Art 101. I had never heard of Bogat before this exhibition, nor seen her art, as I suspect many people haven’t. Who knows how many under-recognized women artists have been lost to the male-centric narrative of art history?
