Cattelan is an irreverent artist who is never afraid to critique authority. This survey of his work is unlike any I have seen before. It is a “full-scale declaration of the inadvisability of viewing his oeuvre within the context of a conventional retrospective.” The site-specific installation includes 130 objects, almost all produced since 1982, strung from the [...]

Well, I have been a little busy so I hope you will forgive me for not posting this sooner. It was a bit insane in London with a great deal to see in a few short days. For the first time in a long while, I did not manage to see everything on my list. [...]

Peter Eleey has done a magnificent job of curating a moving and artistically solid exhibition. He explained to the small group he led through his show at PS1 that the idea for it had been brewing in his head for awhile. Curators are usually the experts trying to teach the audience something with an exhibition, but in [...]

Chelsea was hopping on Saturday and it wasn’t just a browsing crowd, I saw some big collectors out shopping.
Here are my picks to see in Chelsea:
Nick Cave-”Ever-After” at Jack Shainman in collaboration with Mary Boone (513 West 20th Street)
It is about time the general public discover what the art world has known for awhile, [...]

Okay so here is the kind of art I expect to see on my visits to Santa Fe:
But I was actually pleasantly surprised by a number of shows I saw. Good thing I know where to go on my visits.

My first stop was a small museum just off the Plaza called the Museum of Contemporary [...]

I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition “Ostalgia.” And it’s about time the New Museum finally got some kudos for a show. Stemming from a term that came about in the 1990s, the title describes “a sense of longing and nostalgia for the era before the collapse of the Communist Bloc.” In the struggle for people to [...]

“Otherworldly: Optical Delusions and Small Realities” at MAD is an entertaining exhibition. It investigates how technology changes viewers’ perception of images. The focus is international artists who make miniature worlds through the use of models akin to the dioramas people of my generation grew up making for their book reports. But these are much more [...]

On a perfect day at the end of July the artist Jonathan Prince and his lovely wife, Bridget, invited a handful of people to their home/studio in the Berkshires for a sneak peek at the four pieces that will be included in an upcoming exhibition he is creating for the Sculpture Garden at 590  Madison Avenue [...]

If you are in New York, there is no escaping talk of the McQueen show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And for good reason. The exhibition includes work by the infamous designer from his postgraduate show in 1992 to his final collection that graced the runway after his sudden, tragic February 2010 suicide. McQueen’s [...]
