Last art exhibition you visited?

[clifford_thornton]

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.

[mjazzg]

Magazzino looks very enticing. I always seem to get a lot from Arte Povera exhibitions. They're not too common in the UK though

The work of Neo Rauch in Zwolle, the Netherlands. More; https://www.museumdefundatie.nl/en/neo-rauch/

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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]

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.

[danasgoodstuff]

https://portlandartmuseum.org/exhibitions/current/  didn't get to all of it, but had a nice day out with the wife 'bout two weeks ago.

[Gheorghe]

My wife and me visited the "Albrecht Duerer" Exhibition at the famous Viennes "Albertina" . 

[ghost of miles]

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.

Going to the last day of the "Andy Warhol From A To Z" exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago tomorrow.  Sticking around for the John Cale concert afterwards.

[ejp626]

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.

Nam June Paik at Tate Modern. Fascinating

[BFrank]

Soul of a Nation at the deYoung Museum in SF. Good show! It's been travelling, so some of you might have seen it already.

I was actually at the Tate Modern when it was in London, but didn't have time to see it. So, very happy that it came to SF.

Knocked out today by the Sophie Taeuber-Arp currently at Tate Modern.  What a fantastically adept artist she was across so many disciplines.

Tate Modern has done good work recently highlighting significant female artists who have often been overshadowed by their husbands and probably because of their multi-disciplinary approach to the 'Applied Arts' - Sonia Delauney, Anni Albers and now this show.  each one a revelatory exhibition in its own right.

And yesterday, it was good to acquaint myself with the paintings of Jennifer Packer on our annual trip to see the Serpentine's Summer Pavilion.

Unfortunately, here I don't have access to this tempting fare, but I did go to Liverpool a month ago to see this year's John Moores Exhibition which has been the starting point for so many British painters. My first visit was in 1972 when Euan Uglow won the prize.

Noguchi at The Barbican Art Gallery.  Learnt a lot

Late Constable at The Royal Academy.  Failed in its stated attempt to recast Constable as a modern master as far as I could see. Some great paintings and sketches nonetheless

Theaster Gates - A Clay Sermon at The Whitechapel.  Thought Provoking
