Cy Twombly at Serpentine, London
Although studded with a bit of hyperbole, as pointed out by Tyler Green, Jonathan Jones' Guardian review of Cy Twombly's works on paper at Serpentine, London (this link, not being unique, will eventually refer to whatever current show is there- bad that it's not a unique, persistent link for Twombly) is a longish piece that sets the scene for post-AbEx painting and Twombly's place in it as a third leg of a trio also comprising Rauschenberg and Johns, with Twombly's place, he posits, not fully appreciated within the US.

Raoul De Keyser
I've posted about Raoul De Keyser twice on this weblog (1, 2), and am happy to see Artblog's mention of him and pointing to a Guardian review of his current show at Whitechapel, London. For more images see David Zwirner, NY, and Zeno X, Antwerp.
And Roberta at Artblog may be right- the Guardian seems to have good coverage, but increasingly to me NYT visual arts coverage isn't very inspiring. Holland Cotter on Asian art is usually good, but most other contemporary reviews don't thrill me. I'm not sure, though, if it's the writers or the art they're writing about, or, more likely, some of each.

Brent Hallard has a new online exhibit, Six. And his Tokyo Notes is always worth looking at.
