On view in the artist’s exhibition of new paintings, The Studio Inside Out, her tenth at Locks Gallery, Philadelphia, through June 30. These diptychs mark Bartlett’s first year in the studio she designed for herself in downtown Brooklyn after decades working in a legendary West Village space, and ponder on her new environment. Locks, who are hosting a reception for the artist this Friday, June 3, also have a separate display of Bartlett’s Plate Works from the 1970s, through the same date. Their shows coincide with the presentation of Bartlett’s landmark installation, Rhapsody (1976), whose 987 baked enamel plates fill the atrium at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, where it is on view through mid-July.
