Carol Ross: Drawings and Sculpture Rooster Gallery, NYC Through July 10, 2011
Since the fiasco of Richard Serra’s Tilted Arc, there has been a certain amount of animosity toward large, metal, abstract sculpture in New York City. There is, of course, that spinning cube-thing by Nyu, which heshers and tourists seem to find some aesthetic value in, but other than that (and I believe I speak for all the philistines), big metal shit is really annoying to walk around when you are trying to get somewhere important. Fortunately, there are some sculptors who possess a level of sensitivity to the mobile viewer: Scott Burton, for example, or Carol Ross, whose recent works can be seen at Rooster Gallery in New York.
