I’m in new york for the next couple of days, and although I have not yet started the grand gallery walk, I’ve seen a few things worth mentioning quickly for your weekend pleasure.<\/p>\n

Douglas Witmer at The Painting Center<\/span> (soho) I think this ends this week. Go check it out an we can compare notes when I write more about it later this week.<\/p>\n

I don’t go to the big museums that often, however I spent a fair portion of the day at “The Met” and frankly have forgotten what an amazing place and collection it is. The Pictures Generation<\/span> (Cindy Sherman, Richard Prince, Matt Mullican, et al.)is a great show and delivered about what I thought it would (thats a good thing as they say). After exiting the Pictures Generation I found myself walking through the entrance to The Model as Muse<\/span> and usually I don’t care for this kind of show – esp. in DC when it is all “Dresses of the First Ladies” type stuff. However I really liked the photography – a lot of Helmut Newton always goes a long way.<\/p>\n

Deeper in I walked into a room of Clyfford Still paintings and that surprised me. It’s unusual, I think to see a museum display that many of his works – in such a large size in one room. It was pretty remarkable and really enjoyable.<\/p>\n

One thing however – I stumbled over the “Hirst Shark” as I understand it that has been recently repaired\/replaced\/remade – whatever it recently has been. It’s looking a little bit long in the tooth if you know what I mean. This artwork is going to be a white elephant for whoever owns it – I wish them the best in that.<\/p>\n

There is also a very solid Francis Bacon<\/span> show going on right now – more later.<\/p>\n
