Peter Schuyff at Mary Boone Gallery

Peter Schuyff gives mid-century modernism a shake with this canvas that adopts a palette of primary colors (a la Mondrian or Dubuffet) and geometric forms and appears to be waving in the air. (At Mary Boone Gallery’s midtown location through Dec 18th).

Richard Tuttle at Pace Gallery

Iconic abstract sculptor Richard Tuttle has turned his focus to textiles in his exhibition at Pace Gallery’s 57th Street location, a prelude to his October 2014 commission for the Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall.  Here, a seemingly casually placed brown fabric at center sets off the texture and color of a branch at bottom while a colorful pattern of material roughly wrapped around a life-ring-like shape draws the eye in.  (Through March 15th).
