William Rubin on Ellsworth Kelly
From Art News, Converting Painting Into Sculpture: Ellsworth Kelly's Signature Style, in 1963.
Coinciding with a current show at Matthew Marks New York Gallery, Art News recently revisited this article written on Kelly's work in 1963. If you can get past the first few paragraphs, this is well worth the read.

Charles Pollock: A Retrospective
The Peggy Guggenheim Collection (Venice) is presenting a retrospective of Charles Pollock's work which includes abstract paintings that rival, or to my mind surpass, his more famous brother Jackson's work. http://www.guggenheim-venice.it/
The exhibition runs from April 23rd through September 14th.
For more information and a VIDEO of the exhibition, click here:

A great article, 'Seeing Charles Pollock anew in Venice' by Sebastian Smee for the Boston Globe:

Robert Swain: Color Energy at Minus Space
I first encountered Robert Swain's work at the David Richard Gallery in Santa Fe. He has made a group of paintings specifically for the inaugural opening of the new Minus Space Gallery location in Dumbo, Brooklyn. Note: This exhibition closes July 4th !
Minus Space: "From his exhibition, Color Energy, Swain presents an immersive set of three 9'x9' paintings, in which squares of pure color are arranged into grids that are subtly modulated by hue, value, and saturation. The paintings are Swain's latest investigation into the color system he's developed over the past five decades. The centerpiece of this system is a 30-part color circle. These colors, when combined with the attributed of value (the lightness or darkness of a color) and saturation (the pureness of a color), produce a compliment of 4,896 distinct hues."
James Kalm interview with Matthew Deleget of Minus Space on Robert Swain's new paintings and the gallery's new location: http://www.minusspace.com/2015/06/robert-swain-james-kalm/

For
his exhibition Color Energy, Swain presents an immersive set of three
new nine by nine foot paintings, in which squares of pure color are
arranged into grids that are subtly modulated by hue, value, and
saturation. The paintings are Swain’s latest investigation into the
color system he’s developed over the past five decades. The centerpiece
of his system is a 30-part color circle. These colors, when combined
with the attributes of value (the lightness or darkness of a color) and
saturation (the pureness of a color), produce a complement of 4,896
distinct hues. - See more at:
