James Kalm ignores the sweltering heat wave to visit this astounding exhibition of works by legendary San Francisco artist Jess. Since rejecting a career in nuclear physics to pursue his unique vision of art, Jess (Burgess Collins, 1923-2004) has created one of the most influential reputations on the West Coast. With an independence of thought, Jess evolved an unmistakable painting style, as well as carried the tradition of collage to new heights of richness and complexity. This is the first New York gallery show in over twenty years and the first in-depth presentation of the work since the Whitney's "Grand Collage" retrospective in 1994.

James Kalm pedals to 57th Street to view the Harkness exhibit in its last week. Hilary Harkness employs a hyper-detailed technique that recalls the works of old masters Bosch, Altdorfer and Bruegel. Placing many of her paintings in WWII settings, these pieces also present an over the top depiction of female sexual fantasy with blatant references to Lesbianism, Sadomasochism and dominatrix practices.
