What does it take for a minimal painting to stand on its own strengths, with no explanation or apparent associations to build a context for understanding? New York-based Suzan Frecon’s abstractions ask this question, offering pure color, shape and surface to absorbing effect. (At David Zwirner’s 525 West 19th St location through March 23rd).
