From the Archive: Stanley Brouwn

In light of the Stanley Brouwn cottage industry that has sprung up in the US, I thought I’d post a scan of my 2018 review of two modest Dutch Brouwn exhibitions, which is buried in an old issue of Texte zur Kunst. Apart from an annoying autocorrect mishap/editorial oversight that turned a French Enlightenment philosopher into an airplane (Concordet became Concorde), I’m still quite happy with this short reflection on Brouwn’s practice—and on the challenges it poses for the critic or art historian.
