Model Studies: Thomas Demand with Fernand Léger, Francis Bruguiere, Thomas Sceibitz, and the VKhUTEMAS School is a beautiful show.
The link between Demand and architecture is a natural one. Demand, a photographer who builds life-sized architectural models of familiar scenes from the news out of paper then photographs and destroys the original model. The photograph is [...]
Always amazing, this trip to the DF was no exception. Not only was there great work on view at the fair, but the galleries and institutions had some terrific works on view as well.

I love to see the way people live with their art. The rooftop artwork [...]
One of my favorite places to go to sip on tequila post-fair.
It is the ten year anniversary of Zona Maco and the fair pulled out all the stops to celebrate. The opening night dinner was not only in a beautiful historic location, but the food was delicious!
The fair itself had some terrific art on view. [...]
I can’t believe in all my visits to Houston I had never stepped foot inside the Rothko Chapel. I wasn’t sure what my expectations would be, but I was completely awed upon entering this sacred space. I have long been an admirer of the Agnes Martin Room at the Harwood Museum in [...]

Traveling to Kassel, Germany on the heels of my trip to Basel, I had no idea what to expect. I have heard about Documenta for years and have always wanted to go, but having only two days to see enough art that takes most people a week to view, I was unsure how to proceed. [...]
I’m not sure what exactly I was expecting on my trip to the Milwaukee Art Museum. And perhaps it was because I had no expectations that I was amazed at how stunning the main building is. The museum is actually made up of three buildings, all designed by famous architects: Eero Saarinen, David Kahler, and Santiago [...]
Back in NYC for the much anticipated Frieze Art Fair New York on Randall’s Island. So excited to be home. And this is the view from my hotel room-I am in an Empire State of Mind.
FREIZE NEW YORK
The ferry ride over was a little surreal. I haven’t spent much time on boats in NYC. But it [...]
I was lucky enough to spend Saturday morning visiting three artists’ studios.
The first stop was the studio and home of Carlos Amorales who works in a variety of media. The project he is currently working on is for this year’s Manifesta. Amorales has created a machine that will make continuous charcoal drawings throughout the run [...]
