This nimble collection by Michelle Smith proves that she’s not just treading water in the fiercely competitive contemporary arena. Registering trends is a job requirement in this market, which Smith did by framing athletic references, minimalism and maximal prints with sculpted silhouettes that packed a lot of design. In the show’s notes, she also mentioned the influences of the conceptual art of Dan Graham, evident in the volume of a pretty mesh organza coat, and John Baldessari, who inspired the bold cobalt blue, mint green and yellow that popped against the lineup’s baseline of black and white.
