Black leadership in crisis
Like the sugary pastel palette of Peace, 2004-2005, the use of checks in this set of paintings is almost cloyingly obvious; They
bring to mind the big sums that Prince's work has fetched recently, though they also show that, despite this recent gang-busters market and mounting celebrity, he still writes his own checks to MasterCard, ConEd, and Pearl Paint.
Richard Prince: Gladstone Gallery
His openhearted performance--so self-dramatizing, so self-aware, so funny when it isn't moving--can't help but
bring to mind another drama queen, Judy Garland.
Everything fans want: Want Two feels a bit like Rufus Wainwright vamping until his next album--but the enclosed concert DVD is a must for devotees of the out troubadour
This book's effusive flow of words, screen-based imagery and breathless enthusiasm for the new

For the pro football faithful, the name may
bring to mind a brash-talking hothead whose demand to "just give me the damn ball" sparked some ire in the National Football League after only his rookie season.
Score one for Keyshawn
Parmiggiani sculpted the statues, which
bring to mind the many historical figures that populate Dante's "Inferno." The final scene opens onto an immense square formed by hundreds of candies, which are magically extinguished one after the other, thus closing the ballet's epilogue.

Woodsmen and River Drivers
These lesser-known works (and others in a separate show of prints at Crown Point Press that complemented the retrospective) often
bring to mind Ed Ruscha's classic photo books and Gerhard Richter's realist paintings: Each artist adds rich ambivalence to visions of middle-class banality.
Robert Bechtle: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
The more raucous songs, like "I Could Have Sex" (already a hit at scene-maker clubs like London's Nag Nag Nag), and Davis's bawdy, hilarious delivery

Jan Vercruysse: Studio Trisorio
Designed according to principles of ergonomics, health, and other social issues, playgrounds are seemingly devoid of politics and yet
