Corbett vs. Dempsey

By Paul Klein, October 17, 2008

I never heard of Joseph Goto, whose show opens tonight at Corbett vs Dempsey. He studied at the School of the Art Institute right after World War II and lived in Chicago for some time. He was a helluva sculptor whose work must have influenced numerous sculptors who came after him. I'm guessing that di Suvero was. Goto's art is often lyrical and occasionally brutish, often delicate and linear and at other times just grunt basic. It feels familiar yet remains fresh. I was impressed.
