I was there about 6 weeks ago, and only saw the Giacometti. For some reason I missed that exhibition. The album they released is great!

Giacometti was an exhilarating show edit to add: there's a very good Spotify playlist to accompany the exhibition. Lots of obvious choices but a few less so(to me at least) and obvious or not they sound good together Edited October 15, 2017 by mjazzg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjazzg Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Thoroughly enjoyed my introduction to the work of Giorgio Griffa in his first UK retrospective https://www.camdenartscentre.org/whats-on/view/griffa it probably helps that it's in one of London's loveliest spaces for viewing Edited March 14, 2018 by mjazzg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 looks cool; there's an Italian art/Arte Povera gallery and research center near Cold Spring, NY, which has some very good work on display (though no Griffa that I can recall). It's called Magazzino and should be a space to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Magazzino looks very enticing. I always seem to get a lot from Arte Povera exhibitions. They're not too common in the UK though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Just back from a trip to New York and Philadelphia. Saw many museums, including the Barnes Foundation for the first time (I did see the Highlights from the Barnes when it went on tour). Not that many special exhibits, however, aside from a small exhibit on Joseph Cornell's homage to Juan Gris at the Met. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Rauschenberg retrospective at SFMOMA. Covers a LOT of ground and I had to go a second time to see the whole thing. I'm not the biggest fan, but I have a better understanding of his work. Impressive no matter what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Club 57: Film, Performance and Art in the East Village, 1978-83 at NYC’s Museum of Modern Art. Fascinating look at the pre-digital, late 1970s/early 80s New York art scene. It’s up through April 8.

ghost of miles Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 If you're in NYC, I definitely recommend checking out three of their exhibitions right now--I took these in on Saturday (and then went for a nice long walk on the High Line, which is located right next to the Whitney): Grant Wood: American Gothic And Other Fables Zoe Leonard: Survey An Incomplete History Of Protest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Managed to score tickets to the hottest art exhibit in North America -- Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrors at the AGO -- https://ago.ca/exhibitions/kusama It is interesting but it ends up being about 2 hours of queuing to get inside her Infinity Rooms for approximately 3 minutes. The staff have a stop watch and move people along every 20 or 30 seconds depending on the Room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Joseph Beuys - Utopia At The Stag Monuments https://ropac.net/exhibition/utopia-at-the-stag-monuments as always with Beuys, very thought provoking, mostly very positive. In a commercial gallery I'd not previously visited. Gorgeously restored and very grand 18th century townhouse. Almost worth the visit for the uilding alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 There is a nicely curated Impressionist exhibit at the AGO - https://ago.ca/exhibitions/impressionism-age-industry-monet-pissarro-and-more I was pleasantly surprised that they had a major Caillebotte on view and some other of his paintings, along with the usual suspects - Monet, Pissarro, Degas, etc. I've been once and will probably go back several times, since I can bring up to 2 guests, and I promised some folks at work I would get them into the exhibit.

JSngry Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Spent the afternoon at the Kimbell in Fort Worth checking out (mostly) Renoir:https://www.kimbellart.org/content/news-renoir-body-senses So much color, so much shape, just a dazzling way to spend a dark, damp, dreary day. but also, this!

BFrank Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 I've heard great things about the Kimball. Would like to go there someday. "Soul of a Nation, Art in the Age of Black Power" is now in SF at the DeYoung. I missed it in London a couple of years ago. Really want to see it now.

ghost of miles Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts’ Hal Prince exhibition last night, taken in with Marc Aronson, whose parents designed the sets for a number of Prince’s productions, including Fiddler On The Roof and Cabaret. Well worth checking out. Also, not really an art exhibition per se, but the NYPL’s J.D. Salinger exhibit made this longtime JDS obsessive extremely happy. Hoping to give it another go-through before I leave on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Going to the last day of the "Andy Warhol From A To Z" exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago tomorrow.

ejp626 Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 We'll be getting a different but presumably still representative Warhol exhibit up in Canada in Spring 2021. There is one more week to catch the Romare Bearden exhibit in Atlanta: https://high.org/exhibition/something-over-something-else-romare-beardens-profile-series/ I'll be travelling to see that next weekend. After this, the exhibit heads to Cincinnati, though missing a few of the paintings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
