Oligarch Roman Abramovitch Pelted With Tar

Montreal/Brooklyn-based artist Marc Séquin’s new ash and charcoal works are all about failures – church ruins, powerless popes and captured assassins. Portrait of note: Russia’s top gas and oil billionaire (and dater of major art wheeler/dealer Dasha Zhukova) with a rough, goopy glob of tar dripping from his furrowed forehead across his calculating mug, shining all the way down. He should totally buy it. “Failures,” Marc Séquin, Mar 24 – Apr 30, Mike Weiss Gallery, NYC
