Huh Only yelling older woman in here. Nothing to sell. Jerry Salz on Lilys show at Koenig and Clinton Gallery in New York koenigandclinton/exhibitions/lily-van-der-stokker-2/: An auspicious omen started my season in Chelsea. At my first stop, Koenig & Clinton, I walked in right behind living national treasure and should-be MacArthur recipient John Waters. Repressing my stalker-fanboy impulse once I got inside, I relished Lily van der Stokkers hard-core show of all-pink paintings, sculptures, murals, installations — all done in linear scribbles on cloud-shaped canvases or excremental blobs. Van der Stokkers one-time dealer, the late Hudson (of Feature Gallery), observed that her colors are like those found on feminine-hygiene products. Van der Stokker loved the idea. Many of the works sport words. One lumpy wall-work is emblazoned with a fierce feminist message: Only yelling older woman in here. Nothing to sell. When read the way cops tell us to move us on from the scene of a crime, van der Stokker is saying that art judged mainly female is dismissed as strident and girly and isnt worth buying. Im pretty sure the little painting that just says Aunty Roberta and Uncle Jerry is friendly. Regardless, van der Stokkers hand is as marvelous as Kusamas, and her mind is as sharp as Krugers. Even if it’s a bit repetitive and visually limited, this show bullet-proofed me against tepid art for almost the next two days. Now, if only Waters would know who I was. vulture/2014/09/jerry-saltz-11-fall-art-shows-reviewed.html
