Jonathan Lyndon Chase, Winner of the artcritical Prize, opens tonight at Thierry Goldberg Gallery

It feels good to back a winner, as appears to be the case with Jonathan Lyndon Chase. Readers in New York City today (July 7) can judge for themselves at Thierry Goldberg where Chase’s exhibition, “Sweet and Hard,” opens this evening. Now in its second year, the artcritical prize at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, chosen by faculty vote, awards a graduating MFA student an article in these pages. Published last month, our essay was written by Didier William, recently named as chair of the MFA program at PAFA.
