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.

Enjoyed it very much in London

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

I wish that was nearer...

I saw a very good Helen Frankenthaler woodcuts exhibition yesterday at the Dulwich Picture Gallery

Excellent retrospective on a neglected Saxonian painter, Oskar Zwintscher (1870-1916) whose portraIts are stunning.

Edvard Munch museum in Oslo (about a year ago) was fascinating.

Good thread! Somehow missed it. Went to the Whitney today. Last weekend went to the Newport Annual Flower Show (that's art too).

Did you see the Jaune Quick-to-See Smith?  I thought that was a very interesting exhibit by an artist I wasn't familiar with.

I also saw the Hokusai show in Boston, which was a lot of fun.

(Yes, this is The Great Wave made out of Lego...)

I saw neither. We will return. I can't spend more than two uninterrupted hours in a show, otherwise I begin to lose concentration and interest...We just covered the selections from the permanent collection on the 7th floor.

My teenager son was most impressed with the show of Calder's puppets and the accompanying film. 

I liked seeing Marsden Hartley's pictures. He could do so much on a small canvas!

I made the trip out to Montreal to catch the Marisol retrospective.  It's in Montreal through Jan.

Then I think it goes to Toledo. It ends up in Buffalo (the Albright-Knox actually organized this exhibit) in mid 2024, and then Dallas in early 2025.  I'll likely head over to Buffalo as there are minor variations in what is on view, depending on each venue.  However, I think if you go to either Montreal/Toledo and either Dallas/Buffalo you see all the pieces, certainly the all the major sculptures.

The last big one was probably Sargent in Spain at the Legion of Honor Museum here in SF. Going to NYC in a few weeks and will see a lot of things at the Met, MOMA, and ICP

[mjazzg]

Two rooms of Joan Mitchell at Tate Modern, just fantastic. We need a major show of her works over here.

Before, Marina Abromavic major chronological retrospective at Royal Academy. For me an exhibition of two halves, the first half very impactful. The second half, a lot less

[sidewinder]

Not a full exhibition per se but delighted recently to enjoy the works by Velazquez, Titian, Rubens, Tintoretto and Brueghel Jr at Kingston Lacy House, Dorset, UK.

Yesterday, Lyonel Feininger retrospective exhibition, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt am Main. The first time a complete overview is presented, not just his famous paintings of architecture, but also early carricatures, children's toys, drawings, photographs. Highly recommended. Very good biographical accounts.

My favourite painting from the exhibition.

I miss the Schirn. Wonderful place. When I get traveling again, I'll be there.

Two very different but equally good exhibitions this weekend

Hiroshi Sugimoto's photograhy at the Hayward Gallery

and then,

George Baselitz sculpture at The Serpentine

In NY last month I saw Manet/Degas, Ed Ruscha, Picasso in Fontainebleau and an exhibit of Dietrich photos at the ICP (International Center of Photography)

The Kehinde Wiley show in Houston and the Jaune Quick-To-See Smith show in Fort Worth are both very much worth seeing right now.

I was not expecting to be as blown away by the Wiley as I was.

Quick-To-See Smith is incredible.

[mjazzg]

I was looking at Quick-To-See Smith's work online yesterday after a couple of mentions here. Looks very interesting. Can't see any of it travelling here but we can live in hope.

Wiley we have had some
