JACK BANKOWSKY ON Pat Hearn
ArtForum, Oct, 1999
Hearn too has reinvented herself more than once in post-Sixth Street days. Morphing first, with her 1985 move to fancier digs (ironically enough in the even-deeper East Village), into a Mary Boone-like demiurge of high-style power, a few years down the road Hearn opened a lower-key SoHo establishment with a program more than just geographically close to that of another East Village denizen whose gallery, American Fine Arts Co., occupied quarters across the street. Today, in her most compelling role since East Village days, that of Chelsea pioneer, Hearn has staked a claim at the visible forefront of the newest wave of painting from her base at Twenty-second Street.
