Episode No. 272 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Stanley Whitney.

On Saturday, January 21 -- that's this weekend -- the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth will open "Focus: Stanley Whitney," an exhibition of Whitney's latest work. It was organized by Alison Hearst and will remain on view through April 2.

Whitney is an abstract painter whose explorations of color, form and a lot more color are true to the modernist tradition and suggest new ways forward. His work is in the collections of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Yale University Art Gallery, and more. In 2015 the Studio Museum in Harlem presented a solo show of his work. As Whitney mentions on this week's program, this summer he'll be included in Documenta 14, an -ennial that will be split between Athens and Kassel, Germany.

This week's Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Ross Bleckner and Museum of Fine Arts Houston curator Helga Kessler Aurisch. 

The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is now showing "Urban Theater: New York Art in the 1980s," a Michael Auping-curated survey of that decade's New York art scene. The exhibition includes major works by virtually every major New York artist of the decade, including Bleckner. It's on view through January 4th, 2015. The catalogue was published by Skira Rizzoli and is available from Amazon for under $40.

Since coming to prominence after his first New York solo exhibition in 1983, Ross Bleckner has been the subject of solo exhibitions all over the world, including at the Moderna Museet in Sweden, at the Kunstmuseum Luzern in Switzerland and at the Prefectural Art Museum in Nagasaki, Japan.  In 1995, then-Guggenheim curator Lisa Dennison organized a mid-career survey of Bleckner's work. 

The image above is Bleckner's One Day Fever (1996). On this week's MAN Podcast, host Tyler Green and Bleckner discuss whether Bleckner's work is trapped in the same narrative that developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s, one limited to the question of death and a painter's response to it.
