DENVER, CO.- Art historian and former Clyfford Still Museum (CSM) senior consulting curator David Anfam died on August 21 in London. Anfam saw the artist’s 1979 retrospective at The Met in New York, New York while researching the artist as a doctoral student. Defended in 1984, his dissertation on Still was one of the first in-depth studies of the artist. For the next two decades, he continued to publish pivotal scholarship on Still. “Anfam was the world’s foremost expert on Clyfford Still in the decades following the artist’s death,” said Bailey Placzek, CSM’s curator of collections and catalogue raisonné research and project manager. “His scholarship sustained Still’s legacy during that time and has been critical to CSM’s ongoing documentation and understanding of the artist’s collection since it came to Denver in 2011.”

LONDON.- Michael Werner Gallery, London will present Everyone is an Artist, an exhibition of major works by three titans of 20th century art, Joseph Beuys (b. 1921 in Krefeld, Germany, d. 1986 in Düsseldorf), Marcel Broodthaers (b. 1924 in Brussels, d. 1976 in Cologne), and James Lee Byars (b. 1932 in Detroit, d. 1997 in Cairo). Contemporaries and collaborators, Beuys, Broodthaers, and Byars adhered to a similar broad set of ideas: art cannot be separated from life, an object can create narrative, and art is activated by the imagination of the viewer. Everyone is an Artist charts and interweaves the oeuvres of these three highly influential artists as they reshaped how art was created and perceived in the 20th and 21st centuries.

PARIS.- In Inner Dialogue, Leidy Churchman’s first show at Galerie Chantal Crousel, images from previous exhibitions come back around amid new narratives, vantages, and technologies. Taken together, the paintings index the everyday in order to transcend it, making the real spiritual, the material magical, and showing us what it’s like to see, feel, and live in this particular moment. Here, the potent energy of an idea becomes an animal, a sign becomes a refuge, a feeling state a shade of blue, a credit card a meditation on death and transformation; everyday sights and sensations are first themselves and then so much more than themselves. With deft and evocative brushwork, Churchman works with figuration as a means to abstract—to help us to see beyond what we see—translating Buddhist concepts, symbols, and stories into familiar and unfamiliar compositions. In this way, paint becomes a spiritual medium, a mechanism to mediate spirit, flow, birth, death, and life continuously into and out of the frame.

BRUSSELS.- Over the course of the past five decades, Ana Jotta (1946, Lisbon, Portugal) has developed a deeply personal artistic vocabulary that rejects and even antagonizes all forms of classification and identification. Instead of any recognizable style, she takes from, subverts, and trespasses across various aesthetic categories, making a world that exists only on her own terms. Instead of attempting to encompass Jotta’s entire practice, the exhibition narrows its focus around a specific aspect of her work: the expanded sense she brings to the act of drawing.

Ozone can be an agent of good or harm, depending on where you find it in the atmosphere. Way up in the stratosphere, the colorless gas shields the Earth from the sun's harsh ultraviolet rays. But closer to the ground, ozone is a harmful air pollutant that can trigger chronic health problems including chest pain, difficulty breathing, and impaired lung function.
