May 1999
	"A SHOW OF HANDS," Stux,529 West 20th Street, (212) 352-1600 (through May 29). The most impressive works in this exhibition of three artists dealing with hand images are the powerfully expressionistic, bigger-than-life arms and hands made of cast dirt by the contemporary American Surrealist James Croak. Andrea Frank’s altered photographs meditate on the Nazi salute. In Renee Cox’s black-and –white photographic portraits, hands compound sexual and interracial overtones (Johnson).
