\"Guggen-01\"<\/p>\n

On Wednesday I joined Benedicte and some new friends \u2014 Teri, Shirley, and Pat \u2014 for a whirlwind day of art-related fun. We started at the Guggenheim where Picasso Black and White<\/em> is on exhibit through January 23rd (photos were not allowed). The exhibit is the first to explore his his use of black and white (gray, cream) to create his 118 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper. There’s good information about the exhibit on the Guggenheim<\/a> website, and a gorgeous book that includes more than 150 reproductions. The book is a hefty 228 pages and is available from the website.\u00a0 Pat also posted some wonderful sketches she did on her iPad while at the show which you can see on her blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We also visited the Kandinsky Gallery that was featuring pieces created during 1911\u20131913.\u00a0 <\/em>Again, no photos were allowed.<\/p>\n

From any vantage point in the main lobby, where photos are allowed, you cannot see any of the artwork on the walls. However, on the seventh floor, photographs were allowed and even encouraged at Gabriel Orozco\u2019s Asterisms<\/em> exhibit, a \u201ctwo-part sculptural and photographic installation\u201d that includes \u201ctraces of erosion, poetic encounters with mundane materials, and the ever-present tension between nature and culture.\u201d\u00a0 The exhibit is made up of thousands of items that the artist collected from a playing field near his NY home and a protected coastal biosphere in Baja California Sur, Mexico, which also happens to collect industrial and commercial waste from across the Pacific.<\/p>\n

Next up was lunch, then a visit to a gallery for what we hoped would be paintings by Bob Dylan, but that show had concluded, and then a visit to Leslie Feely Fine Art to see Hannelore Baron’s superb exhibit. More photos in the next few days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
