April 2013: John Newsom discusses upcoming exhibition at MARC STRAUS with World of Aerin

Aerin Lauder writes, "I love Brooklyn-based artist John Newsom’s work. His pieces are bold, bright, and full of unexpected color combinations...In person, John is just as exuberant and confident as his work. His enthusiasm for what he does is really infectious. In anticipation of his May 1st opening of his new show at Marc Straus gallery, John sat down to talk about his new work, life as an artist, and what’s next."

March 2013: Huffington Post, "Old World Meets New World: Paul Pretzer in Dresden and New York"

Patrick McGinnis writes, "It's always gratifying to discover new artists, especially younger artists who take risks and who reflect their own personal development in their pieces. Paul Pretzer, a Dresden, Germany-based painter who is showing at the Marc Straus Gallery on New York's Lower East Side, is just that sort of artist."

February 2013: Paul Pretzer highlighted by Cool Hunting

"Currently on view at Marc Straus Gallery in NYC, an exhibition by Paul Pretzer brings primates, cardinals and painterly expression together for a carnivalesque look at the history of art. Riffing off of classical compositions—most notably Spanish masters Velázquez and Goya—the Dresden-born artist takes an attitude of irreverence along with impressive skill and respect for traditional technique."

February 2013: Marin Majić solo exhibition highlighted by Art in America

"Frankfurt-born, Berlin-based painter Marin Majic walks a very fine line between comedy and mystery in his show of paintings, mostly based on found images, and in almost all cases he gets it just right. Why is the young girl in Hundstag II holding that dog so awkwardly? What in the world is the meaning of the bouquet of birds held aloft by the young girl in Küken (Chicks)? Majic combines found and invented imagery in surreal scenes reminiscent of the New Leipzig School, but wonderfully odd in their own right."

February 2013: Ulf Puder on view in Der Gemalte Raum/Painted Space at the Essle Museum, Klosterneuberg, Austria

"'Der Gemalte Raum' connects very different artistic positions of the last 40 years that share a concern with spatial structures and architecture. In abstract or concrete painting, space in a painting becomes “area”." The exhibition is on view in the Schoemer-Haus at the Essl Museum through Summer 2013.

January 2013: Zlatan Vehabović featured in Time Out Croatia

"Arguably one of the most poignant pictures to be exhibited at Zagreb’s Lauba gallery during the course of 2012 was Zlatan Vehabovic’s Departure, a triptych devoted to a pile of cardboard packing cases – as if someone is preparing to move out in the aftermath of a break-up. It certainly confirmed Vehabovic (born in Banja Luka in 1982) as the rising star of Croatian figurative painting. Vehabovic has spent the last few years producing narrative paintings that are both easy on the eye and wrong-footingly surreal."

January 2013: Ulf Puder in "Saxony: Works from the Deutsche Bank Collection" at the Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig

"The exhibition presents work on paper from the Deutsche Bank Collection, featuring 32 contemporary artists with biographical links to Saxony. While the spectrums of topics that the artists cover – among them Gerhard Richter, Imi Knoebel, Blinky Palermo, Georg Baselitz or Neo Rauch - do vary, they also reveal correspondence: the critical appraisal of German identity and history, visions of modernity, the ideologically charged clash of images between East and West, between figuration and abstraction. ... The section 'Spatial Entities in Colour' presents corresponding works that thematise both the colour and also the fluid points of transition between abstraction and figuration. In the selected pieces by Uwe Kowski, Ulf Puder or Jörg Herold, colour describes delicately or aqueously formed bodies, spaces and pictograms."

December 2012: Jeffrey Gibson at MARC STRAUS reviewed in Hyperallergic
"Gibson articulates truth through his materials, which, as Wittgenstein’s dictum states, shows what cannot be said. In Gibson’s case, his message is a deep emotional truth, born of history and memory, made present through the motion of his own hands."

November 2012: Charles Hinman at MARC STRAUS reviewed in Art in America
"With Hinman, what you see might be what you see, but it will be more than what you see at first. He requires time from his viewers, maybe because when he began his artistic career, there seemed to be more of it. You should give it to him; it will be time well spent."
