There is a wonderful surprise at The Menil Collection in Houston if you follow a path just a hop skip and a jump from the main museum–a Dan Flavin installation. It is one of the artist’s final works and one of his few permanent installations in the United States. The de Menil’s began collecting his [...]

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 [...]

I loved “Life Gem,” a contract and an empty stone setting that will be used to contain a diamond forged from the ashes of artist Jill Magid after she dies. And the presentation in this niche in the wall with the spotlight was great.
Hard to tell but these works by Christina Mackie are [...]

Well, As usual, The Art Dealer’s Association of America’s Art Show was a classy affair. There were some great solo booths that really were showstoppers. And due to the fact that chatter about The Armory was fairly negative, The Art Show only stood to benefit from its small size and the quality of the work.

Tilda Swinton is in an artwork at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC that will occur randomly for the next year. Called “The Maybe,” it has been in the works since 2005. In it, Ms. Swinton lies in a glass vitrine on a bed with a carafe of water for the duration of the [...]
