Pfeiffer converted a moment of midgame triumph for the Knicks forward Larry Johnson into anguished isolation in a piece titled "Fragment of a Crucifixion (After Francis Bacon)." By simply eliminating the other players, the crowds, even the insignia on his uniform, Mr. Pfeiffer converted Mr. Johnson's arm pumps and energized jubilation into expressions of terror. The player seemed like a hunted animal or a martyr and, either way, a profoundly disturbing metaphor for the plight of the black man in American culture. -Roberta Smith

"Within a field of black, rows of colored pinpoint lights fly towards the screen and whiz past each side, evoking any number of scenarios: an airport's landing strip, streetlamps passing by on a nighttime drive, a science-fiction jaunt through hyperspace, or the hallucinations of a mushroom trip. These luminous atoms serve as the ultimate reduction of Fogel's artmaking: the creation of hypnotic realms of light, which seduce and enrapture viewers, leading them elsewhere, and within." —Ed Halter
