Louise Fishman, Angry Bertha, 1973, acrylic on paper, 26.5 × 40.25 inches

Next weekend, the Chelsea Symphony (we think they're awesome) is honoring artist Louise Fishman for her 70th birthday. The program includes a new work by Aaron Dai based on a text by poet and former presidential candidate Eileen Myles inspired by Louise's "Angry Paintings".

This was my favorite image from the sexy show How To Cook A Wolf: Part One at Dinter Fine Art. I'm embarassed to say I didn't really know Judith Bernstein's work before, but now I will watch for her! Check out her entry in the Brooklyn Museum's Feminist Art Base.
