Bruce Helander reviews Julian Schnabel: Plate Paintings, 1978-2025 for Whitehot Magazine.
Helander writes, "Julian Schnabel dishes out a delightful array of idiosyncratic plate compositions from portraits to still-lifes in his current exhibition at Mnuchin Gallery in Manhattan, and his work celebrates the courageous, daring and avantgarde modes of constructing an exotic and uncommon platform of exceptional surfaces to provide abstracted narrative scenes. The works presented demonstrate a remarkable curatorial insight and unsurprisingly singular achievement that were also acquired through noteworthy loans provided by private and public institutions from around the world."
