The Ace Gallery held the gift of another exhibit on the 2nd floor, that of, John Milei and Woman in a Chair. As outrageous as this sounds, Los Angeles painter, Millei, was so taken by a Picasso painting on view at the Centre Pompidou in Paris that he bought a postcard, pinned it on the wall of his studio and spent almost two years creating an incredible amount of studies. This lead to an impressive number of fully-realized canvases. I took a seat in the room where they are mounted and reveled in the sum of this full frontal attack of abstract paintings - all bound by the image of a woman in a chair. Also through August 28th. http://www.acegallery.net/
