Gray Matters

Basements. All big buildings have them. Subterranean symphonies of meters, pipes, metal and concrete--and gray. Lots and lots of gray.


They all manage to be oddly familiar ...


and creepy at the same time.


In this particular basement, I couldn't help thinking about ...


Giorgio Morandi ...




Brice Marden ...




and Edwin Dickenson.


These three painters know a lot about color --


and a lot about gray.
