The Tuyman’s show on the top floor of San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art is a good one if you have never seen a Tuyman’s show before. Fortunately, I had seen one previously at the Tate Modern which was excellent and so I was a bit underwhelmed by this one. The exhibition is broken into [...]

Sorry readers, photo removed due to artist’s request–
Typically I am pretty kind when it comes to writing about artists who are generous enough to let people into their studios. But I have to say that as far as Guyton’s work is concerned…I just don’t get it. I mean, I get it, but it doesn’t resonate [...]
“Fallen Blossoms” showcases works that explore the passage of time and the theme of memory. This is the first time that this group of works has been exhibited in the United States. Light Passage includes four gunpowder paintings which include objects symbolizing each of the four seasons. It is amazing to me that using gunpowder he [...]
Braving the torrential downpours of the Nor’easter last weekend, I ventured for the day to Philly to catch some shows. “Picasso and the Avant Garde in Paris” is a good show, not a great one but with the limited funds that museums have these days, they did a nice job culling works from their permanent [...]
Curated by Jeff Koons, the controversial exhibition “Skin Fruit,” on view until June 6th, 2010 at the New Museum, is the first exhibition in the US of Athens-based Dakis Joannou Collection made up of 1,500 works by 400 artists. Pulling from one of the best collections of contemporary art in the world might be intimidating [...]
Openings at the Neue Galerie are always a treat. Not only do you get to see magnificent works of art, but you see them in a gorgeous and sophisticated environment while nibbling on tasty Austrian treats like baby Weinerschnitzel. What’s not to like?
The Otto Dix show (on view through August 30th) that opens today includes [...]
This show, the non-establishment alternative to the Whitney Biennial, organized by Vito Schnabel, and housed in a space on loan from Aby Rosen has some heavy hitters: David Salle, Julian Schnabel, Dan Colen, George Condo mixed in with emerging artists. Some good stuff on view:
Dan Colen’s easily identifiable canvas.
Nicole Stone’s tripartite work has repetition of text on the [...]
No need to worry, you have until May 30th to go check out the 75th incarnation (sans theme) of the Whitney Museum’s signature exhibition. Curated by Francesco Bonami and Gary Carrion-Murayari, the layout of the show is very viewer friendly; it is a very manageable show with a strong selection of artists–and female artists are [...]
I wish I had not been so jet lagged and sleep deprived for my visit to this museum which has been on my to do list for at least the past 17 years. But what a tremendous opportunity to see Van Gogh’s work in such breadth!
From his earliest work like The Potato Eaters to his [...]
