Make sure to stop by Blue Sky Gallery, if only to take in Jennifer Cheek Pantaléon's photographs of Haiti before they come down at the end of November.

Link roundup

• Port on Michael Heizer's Double Negative.
• A little old...Bob Hicks reviews David Reed's Lives of Paintings. I recently attended several lectures by the artist and conversed with him in the exhibit, and concur with Hicks who calls him a "painter's painter" - Reed enriches his art with a deep well of painterly knowledge and a sense of humor.
• Edward Winkleman on how to buy art in a recession, parts 1 and 2.
• Christopher Knight on the critically-acclaimed Morandi show at MoMA.
