You know, kinda like Iman, Bowie's fabulous widow (who also was married to Spencer Haywood).  Both women are from Somalia, their names separated by a single vowel.  But only Uman had a gallery show in Chelsea.  Talk about a riot of color!
If there was a catalog, I didn't see it.  But the longer you look at Uman's paintings, the more you realize that something other than random technicolor virtuosity is going on.

Walking toward Hudson River Park, I noticed a happy crowd at the 
David Zwirner gallery. You had to line up only if you wanted to see 
Yayoi Kusama's latest Infinity Room.  
Been there, 
done that twice already, although I never had to stand in line.  I wasn't about to start now.
