Based in Seattle, a city as renowned for its natural beauty as its cultural landscape, the fair brings together the region’s strong collector base; local, national, and international galleries; area museums and institutions; and an array of innovative public programming.
A color explosion is on view at Miles McEnery’s booth, where the Chelsea-based gallery has brought a wide spectrum of pigment-heavy offerings. The German Markus Linnenbrink’s horizontally situated work is dappled with tiny pools of colored rings, mesmerizing and impressive in its formal qualities. A highlight of the gallery’s display is Tomory Dodge’s Figment, a prime example of the artist’s ability to distill photographs into purely abstract gestures that evoke the pigmentation of colorists like Joan Mitchell and Gerhard Richter, with a frenetic dynamism that is completely his own.
