Abstract (en)

Scrutinizes the 42d Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary American Painting at the Corcoran Gallery, Washington, DC (1991), as the first exhibition mounted by the new curator, Terrie Sultan; finds the majority of the works too mediocre to support Sultan's ambition to show abstract painting as a confrontation with and reevaluation of tenets of late modernism.
