Opens Today, May 3:
WILL COTTON
Mary Boone Gallery, 745 Fifth Ave., NYC
an exhibition of new paintings and sculpture. Conjuring his signature land of plentiful sweets, for the touchstone of this group of new works Cotton depicts Katy Perry as the reluctant queen of an imagined Utopia. In “Crown”, she stands before a palisade of pastel cakes, holding the headpiece as if wary of its obligations and consequences, realizing that a reign of opulence and profusion will inevitably conclude in decline and decay. - thru June 30
