      PETER SACKS SOUTH AFRICAN/AMERICAN, 1950- CODEX SERIES Mixed media and collage on paper Lower right initialed: PS Catalog note: The Codex series demonstrates Sacks' recent fascination with vibrant, lyrical mixed-media works on paper. He has continued to explore this style in his "Above our Lands" and "Sangoma" series. In an Artforum review of a 2022 exhibition of these works at Sperone Westwater Gallery, Donald Kuspit describes them as "an Abstract Expressionist tour de force. With their delirious Gordian knots of color more or less centered on white paper, these transcendental abstractions enliven in their dramatic interweaving of oddly organic shapes. Stunning in their gestural intricacy and emotional richness, they show Sacks rising above lands of human suffering." In a New Yorker article devoted to Sacks"s work: "The paintings are "ravishingly beautiful," Glenn Lowry, the director of the Museum of Modern Art, says, and "global, in the best sense of the word. Their sweep, from history to literature to world events, is astounding." (The New Yorker magazine, "An Artist"s Archaeology of The Mind: How Peter Sacks draws power from the hidden layers of his canvases" by Joshua Rothman, March 18, 2019) Peter Sacks"s works can be found in many major collections: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; The Cooper Museum of African and African American Art, Cambridge; The Beyond Borders Foundation, Edinburgh; and The Collection of the Constitutional Court of South Africa.
