Painting is definitely not dead.

proggrrlSo I made it to The Met on Saturday afterall.
As always, the Met’s permanent collection of 20th Century modern painting makes me week in the knees. I made a beeline to an old favorite of mine, this Dali, which happily resides in a room surrounded by other surrealist work by Ernst and Tanguy, as well as sketches and small sculptures by Giacometti.
This time around a couple of Picasso’s I hadn’t seen before really caught my attention, as well as this by Klimt. (btw there is a Klimt exhibition running at the Neue Galerie till next summer for you fans of his gorgeous intricate portraits.)

Before I left the Met I also stumbled into this small but intense little exhibit on Studio Crafts, which is right next to the modern art wing. Every piece in that room is worth a few minutes of careful inspection. Really wonderful stuff if you like ceramics, woodworking, glassblowing, and textile arts.
Two weekends ago I stopped by the Whitney Museum. The Rudolf Stingel show was fantastic, it’s over now unfortunately. But check him out if you ever have the chance, I thought his pieces really dance on the edge of painting & sculpture in a completely timely fashion…and loved his brocade “wallpaper” works. Here are some photos I stole from this great audio/video essay on the exhibit, which gives a run down of every type of work in the show. You can touch each photo to see it larger - keep in mind this sort of work, being so much about texture, dimension and interaction with room lighting, doesn't really come across well in photographs.
The same can be said of Mark Bradford’s canvases - playing with the border between painting and sculpture, he’s showing pieces that are composed of intricately layered paper, ink, paint, and twine, which have been sanded down to reveal…art. There is a gigantic Kara Walker exhibit there – her stunning full-room papercut installations must be seen. The Whitney also continues to restructure their permanent collection exhibits, and this time around I saw a bunch of 40s American modern paintings I’d never seen before (in the Modernisms exhibit), as well as a roomful of Calder’s fantastically airy and suggestive wire sculptures.
All in all, two great trips. Inspiring, soul-satiating. Now - back to work!
