Basquiat Show: King Pleasure West Side Highway NYC

[west-of-dirty]

New Horizon Doug Aitken Crane Estate, Ipswich, MA

Sunday night was an amazing art exhibition. The rain cleared and the sun came out. A true happening at a stunning site in MA. 

The crane estate looks like an estate straight out of France with hills that roll from the front of the castle to the ocean. Doug Aitken paired moody, enthralling musicians with the otherworldly reflective hot air balloon with sychronized led lights running up and down it’s spines. 

Nothing else like it. Doug said that he wanted everyone to be present and let things happen when they happen. The night was magical.

Tony Smith Tau, Source, Throwback

Pace Gallery NYC

Monumental sculptures by Tony Smith at Pace in NYC. The forms change depending on the angle you view them, but somehow maintain the feel of the whole sculpture. Big Show to check out through July 26, 2019

Beyond The Streets Robert Gastman, Dabs Myla, Katsu Bot, TWIST, Bill Bariminsky, Cleon Peterson, Maya Huyuk, Shepard Fairy, RIME and the history of Graffiti Art

Amazing show that is a bigger and better version of the show staged in LA last year. Robert Gastman created a well curated show of graffiti artists from then to now. I love it all!. This is a show for the ages. Check it out in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NYC through August 25, 2019

Jonas Wood Gagosian Gallery 24th Street

Great show of meticulous flat type art. It’s simultaneously flat and deep, which draws you into his world and stirs your imagination. There is a real steady, architectural experience that you feel like you can step inside it. Check it out through July 19, 2019

Timothy Curtis Show Albertz Benda Gallery

Great. Big. Show. Timothy filled the space with perfectly wall measured pieces that screamed with his red faces. So many great people came out to see the work. It’s the first time I’ve seen a show of his work. Such a singular voice and a great show. Check it out through July 26, 2019.

Claudette Schreuders

In the Bedroom

Great show at Jack Shainman Gallery on 20th Street in NYC. The wooden sculptures are slightly cartoonish, though warm and approachable. Since the sculptures are small, it’s like having an omniscient view of the characters and their interior world, in the bedroom. Check it out through June 22, 2019

Josh Sperling Big Time

Perrotin Gallery, 130 Orchard Street, NYC

Cool show of his shaped canvases, that remind of Frank Stella and flat color work that is ever present. A couple of canvases looked very “Memphis” styled, especially the use of flecked texture. These are some of my most favorite shapes of all times. Love it. Check it out through February 17, 2019.

Andy Warhol From A to B and Back Again

Whitney Museum of American Art

Well received exhibition of Andy Warhols creative output from A to Z. The audio tour is a great way to listen to insights of his work and gather a great understanding of his work from various experts on his creative output. Lots of lines and selfies, so prepare to jostle. Great show. Check it out through March 31, 2019

Marc Newson Gagosian 21st Street NYC

First furniture exhibit in 10 years. Chinese cloisonné technique was used to create the loungers (this technique is typically used on small pieces of jewlery) Work is cool, but it’s hard to imagine how difficult it would be to put together, when you lose 2 to cracks for each one you finish. On view through February 20, 2019. Check it out.

Anthony McCall Split Second

Sean Kelly Gallery

Cool immersive exhibit of Anthony McCall’s “Films”. Essentially they are films of nothing, but deal directly with the light and it’s movement. Blowers shower the space with small particles that capture the light in motion and drive the light from it’s center onto a back far wall, creating new shapes that spin and interact.

Oliver Jeffers For All We Know

Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery

Children’s storybook author, Oliver Jeffers has taken over the gallery with paintings and aerial sculptures that bring such a unique feeling to the space. There does seem to be an underlying danger, that at any minute things can go wrong. Check it out through February 16, 2019

Rodney Graham

303 Gallery

The textures and detail overwhelm the eye in these gallery filling Duratrans. Texture pops off the wall. The show had paintings that resembled the paintings in the Duratrans, but not exactly. Interesting mix of painting and photography. I believe these are self portraits of the artist.

Dana Shutz Imagine Me and You

Petzel Gallery

All the Art Stars came out for this show, Jerry Saltz, KAWS and many others. Reminds me very much of George Condo’s work. Imagination run wild. Check out the show through February 23, 2019
