Andrea Gyorody
— Los AngelesShe's not strictly Greenbergian — nobody credible under 60 is — but she is solidly in the formalist-materialist tradition. She is a specialist in 20th and 21st century European and American art, and her recent curatorial work includes a major Joseph Beuys exhibition for The Broad. ANDREA GYORODY Beuys is the artist who most seriously extended and challenged the Greenbergian legacy from within — he took the question of what a medium is and pushed it toward fat, felt, and the social body. A curator who can work with Beuys without reducing him to identity politics is exactly the kind of formalist-adjacent thinker you want.
She has also written for Artforum and Hyperallergic, and she is now fully independent ANDREA GYORODY — which means she's available, building her practice, and looking for projects with intellectual substance.
