Scope and Contents
OUT IS IN was a review written by N.F. Karlins for ArtNet on the internet: "Good news! The Outsider Art Fair, Jan. 9-11, 2009, generated positive buzz and good sales in its 17th annual outing. My other favorite new artist is very much alive and producing new works like mad. This remarkable young man, Andrew Blythe of New Zealand, makes drawings mostly in black and white acrylic. The Stuart Shepherd Gallery had several beauties, including one using "x" and "No" as repeated motifs. Blythe's sophisticated, syncopated patterns are complex and totally satisfying. His layering of paint made me think of Franz Kline with his remarkable interweaving of white and black that leave the viewer unable to tease out which was put down first. Blythe's drawings were priced from $900 to $1,200, which I consider incredibly cheap." The drawing mentioned by Karlins was purchased by the Sackners. A detail is reproduced in Blythe's exhibition catalogue, also held by the Sackner Archive. This work can also be interpreted as signifying Nitric Oxide (NO) although Blythe used lowercase rather than uppercase letters. Further, nox in medical terms signifies netabolites of nitric oxide, a scientific field that is of particular interest to Marvin Sackner. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
