“David Salle: Painting in the Present Tense”

Where: Palazzo Cini

When: May 6 – September 27

Why It’s Worth a Look: In the heart of a home museum, David Salle continues his provocative engagement with a custom A.I. model, driving painting trained on the artist’s own early-’90s series “Tapestry Paintings.” (Those ’90s paintings were themselves based on 18th-century Russian tapestries, which were themselves based on 16th and 17th-century Italian tapestries. Salle’s use of A.I. probes questions of authorship stretching back centuries.)
