Dana Schutz at Art Basel

December 2, 2019 Patricia Zohn
IMG_0125.jpg

This new Dana Schutz painting which Petzel has at Basel jumped out at me--but then Dana's paintings always do. Titled Forever 21, its newer more fluid forms still pack the Schutz punch. In trying to decipher it, I brought my own desires to go back to 21, and I'm told that indeed, the painting is about a woman who is jealous of her own online profile. That hovering turquoise object is a flat screen, and the golden cherub is her digital presence. In the looking glass--is that her older self? Schutz has had more than her share of online hazing--but certainly we all want to be 21 again, though I'm not sure about forever. However: the recent Japanese buyer who flipped Dana's painting at auction is mad--a Schutz is a forever keeper.
