Meraud Guinness Guevara in ‘In Good Company’ at Lori Bookstein Fine Art

Though she was allied with the pre-war Parisian avant-garde, Meraud Guinness Guevara favored realism. This 1938 still life foregrounds an intimate arrangement of curving kitchen objects while a more austere selection of white forms stands behind at attention. (In ‘In Good Company’ at Lori Bookstein Fine Art through July 29th).

Willard Boepple’s 1981 stainless steel tower is a standout in Lori Bookstein Fine Art’s ‘Heavy Metal’ show for suggesting but denying utility with steps that look as if they’ve survived a hurricane or a cubist rendering. (Through June 29th).
