HYLAND
curator of modernity, which encompasses a
myriad more than minimalism and abstraction;
Wood is at once selective and inclusive.
Wood's hybrid agenda is signaled by the inclusion, in
the entrance and office area, of a huge orange, red and
black tapestry by Victor Vasarely, the 1960s and '70s
eminence grise of Op-Art, whose works, once considered
kitsch, have gained a foothold in the lexicon of modern
art. Its presence is interesting, for we tend to look with
slight embarrassment at icons of the recent past; it takes
usually a good forty years for the out-of-style to become
chic again, to stand proud of the harsh corral of fashion.
