Claudia Wieser at Marianne Boesky Gallery

Black and white photos of art historical objects, delicately crafted works on paper, minimal sculptures with metallic accents and ubiquitous mirrors lend Berlin-based artist Claudia Wieser’s first solo show at Chelsea’s Marianne Boesky Gallery a feeling of belonging to both a centuries old craft tradition and an elegant modernism.  (At Chelsea’s Marianne Boesky Gallery through Oct 19th).

William Cordova at Sikkema Jenkins & Co.

Assembled over time on the floor of his studio from Home Depot paint color samples and traces of studio debris, William Cordova’s colorful paper grids bear witness to his own history of studio activity while alluding to the culture and history of the people of the Andes through a resemblance to the Wiphala flag.  (At Sikkema Jenkins & Co through April 6th).
