Christmas Time in New York City Every year New York City is home to some of the most magnificently decorated trees in the country, and many are meant specifically for public view. Here are some tree we recommend you see this season: The Metropolitan Musuem of Art will display “The Angel Tree” in the museum’s Medieval Sculpture Hall from November 20th to January 6th. Visit metmuseum.org for more information. Since the 1960s this tree has featured crèche figures from the Neapolitan tradition of using old-world techniques and materials to create 1700s style figures. Angeli Art is the leading distributor of these figures in the United States. For more information visit angeliart.com. Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts lights their own Christmas tree each season on Josie Robertson Plaza. The tree will be lit this year on November 27th, and remain up until early January at Lincoln Center, Broadway and 63rd. Open to the public daily. ............... Christmas at Rockefeller Center The Roc

After the suggested visit at BLUM in SOHO,to realize that Famous Artist's choice was not so...Bad" ...here another artist being inspired by Bierstadt "Art has always needed patrons and House of Campari fits the bill quite nicely. The Campari Commissions for 2007 were recently on display in Miami, featuring the Fallen Bierstadt by Valerie Hegarty and the Mosaic Mask (XXX) by Nathan Mabry. Hegarty’s piece is a reconstruction of a landscape by Albert Bierstadt that she pushes several steps further, into destruction. Mabry creates a mask out of coloured pencil and mylar, then embellishes the piece with Swarovski crystals. Featured along with the commissions was an exhibition of works from New York and Los Angeles galleries called Distinctive Messengers, as well as an amazing site-specific work by Andrew Schoultz."

New York Times has 1 answer: Cheap and Cheerful "Style Map | Buenos Aires The 11-hour flight to Buenos Aires is richly rewarded with warm weather (our winter is their summer), great shopping and a still-kicking dollar. The Palermo Hollywood district is a welcome antidote to the already overrun Palermo Soho across the tracks — a quieter place to stumble across young designer boutiques, underground restaurants and an easy-to-navigate flea market. Happy hunting. CHRISTINE MUHLKE" Check on the title to see the map........

GUSTAV KLIMT The Black Feather Hat, 1910 Oil on canvas. Private Collection, New York, courtesy Neue Galerie New York Klimt was an artist who drew inspiration from a variety of sources, ranging from Byzantine to Asian art. In this work, we see the strong influence that French avant-garde artists exerted on his oeuvre. The restricted, striking palate of black, red, and white attests to the degree to which Klimt was influenced by the graphic work of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Instead of deliberately posing for the painter, the unnamed sitter in this work seems lost in her own thoughts. In that way, she is reminiscent of Edgar Degas's ballerinas, whom that artist captured in intimate, private moments. The Black Feather Hat is on display in the second-floor galleries as part of the Gustav Klimt: The Ronald S. Lauder and Serge Sabarsky Collections exhibition.

Le New Museum fait peau neuve NEW YORK - Il ouvre le 1er décembre dans un immeuble conçu par l’agence japonaise Sanaa - celle qui est en charge du Louvre Lens - ressemblant à un empilement de boîtes blanches. Ces six boîtes cachent huit étages où la lumière est dispensée généreusement, et une surface de 5000 m2, abritant des galeries d’exposition et un théâtre de 182 places. Le New Museum, qui se veut un « incubateur » de l’art contemporain, n’est en réalité pas si neuf que ça puisque cette inauguration coïncide avec son 30e anniversaire. Sa fondatrice, Marcia Tucker, qui ava it associé son nom à des rétrospectives précoces sur John Baldessari, Keith Haring ou Tony Oursler, est décédée l’an dernier et n’aura donc pas eu le temps de connaître cette nouvelle adresse, dans le bas de Manhattan. La première exposition, sous le titre « Unmonumental », s’attache à une discipline peu en vogue, la sculpture, en présentant le travail de 30 artistes du monde entier, dont Jim Lambie ou Sarah Lucas

DON’T CALL IT STREET ART! is curated by French pop artist Thibault Sandret (www.glamtrashpop.com). The exhibition brings together mixed-media artists who transpose street-art practices on canvases, graphic designers whose visual codes derive from urban productions and, last but not least, photographers who capture the ephemeral beauty of this art form. All the featured artists share a desire to harvest the rich energy of the street, to excavate its spirit and to highlight the inherent beauty of decay.

November 16: Seth Weiner installs myOpticon at Bowling Green Park myOpticon, a thermal imaging system in the guise of coin-operated binoculars developed by Eyebeam Summer resident Seth Weiner, has been installed in Lower Manhattan’s Bowling Green Park and is now directed toward the United States Custom House. myOpticon constructs an image consisting only of the infrared radiation emitted by all objects as a function of surface temperature. The viewing device sees just as well in pitch darkness and fog as in broad daylight, rendering camouflage and the cover of night obsolete. In addition to constructing a thermal image, myOpticon provides surface temperature readings of any surface placed in its crosshairs. myOpticon is open to the public through the end of the year. An informal reception will gather at dusk on November 16, 2007. Exhibited as part of NYC Park’s exhibition: Art in the Parks: Celebrating 40 Years of Art, myOpticon was made possible in part by a grant from Lower Manhattan

ICP is a easy stop very close from Grand Central Station , just in case you're waiting for your train , or arriving early..and wondering what can I do ? Current Exhibits:September 26–January 6, 2008 This Is War! Robert Capa at Work This exhibition, focusing on Capa's greatest war reportages, will be drawn from ICP's Robert Capa Archive, the most comprehensive collection of work by one of the greatest photojournalists of the twentieth century.

Taro worked alongside Robert Capa, her photographic and romantic partner, and the two collaborated closely. While covering the battle of Brunete, Taro was struck by a tank and killed. Taro&

Publie sur "French Morning News": La Neue Galerie réunit actuellement 8 peintures et plus de 120 dessins du peintre autrichien Gustav Klimt (1862-1918). C’est la première véritable exposition de l’artiste aux Etats-Unis, car assez peu connu outre Atlantique, il a acquis sa réputation bien après sa mort. Inspiré à la fois par les estampes japonaises et par l’art byzantin, Klimt sort des sentiers battus de l’époque (fin XIXe). Facilement reconnaissables, ses peintures sont d’une grande richesse en détails et en couleurs. Klimt est également connu pour son utilisation de l’or. L’exposition comprend également des documents rares sur le peintre ainsi que de nombreux objets personnels. Jusqu’au 30 juin 2008, « Gustav Klimt : The Ronald S. Lauder and Serge Sabarsky collections” à la Neue Galerie, 1048 Fifth Avenue. Tel : 212 628 6200. (La galerie est fermée les mardis et mercredis)

ABOUT What's going on in London and how to react in front of some conceptual art ...I thought this was a good article: Conceptual art should be allowed to speak for itself On the balcony of Tate Modern's Turbine Hall, a group of schoolchildren is staring down at the latest in the gallery's "Unilever Series" of large-scale installations. They would be forgiven for being disappointed after all the fun of the pre vious commissions: the child-friendly helter-skelters constructed for Carsten Höller's Test Site, and Olafur Eliasson's spellbinding sun projection, The Weather Project. This work isn't nearly so entertaining. Shibboleth, by the Colombian artist Doris Salcedo, has been affectionately nicknamed "Doris's crack". It is simply a long gash in the floor which zigzags 167 metres from the glass entrance door, growing wider and splitting into smaller lightning strikes as it goes, before disappearing beneath the back wall. The schoolchildren

I receive her email but cannot really recommend her as I never followed 1 of her tours. Check it by yourself The first stop: "Les Femmes Du Maroc", Lalla Essaydi’s visually arresting, emotionally stunning and socially subversive photographic work of Moroccan women caught in between worlds old and new. The second stop: The highly personal yet oddly detatched family portaits of William Beckman are masterpieces of restraint—emotion is conjured by its very absence. The third stop: A decade in the waiting Marc Greenwold’s exhibition is not to be missed: "Frequently painful in subject matter but fairy-tale-like in atmosphere, unusually small in size yet monumental in their feeling for composition, imbued with a psychoanalytical way of looking at experience and accompanied by the most literary of titles yet driven by the physically painstaking effort of giving every square inch of a painting's surface precisely the same density of texture as every other, Mark Greenwold'

Le prix Nobel, kesako ? Le 10 décembre 1896 s’éteint Alfred Nobel, homme de science appliqué - et accessoirement inventeur de la dynamite. Soucieux de voir progresser la recherche, il choisit de léguer son importante fortune à la création d’une fondation chargée de récompenser chaque année "ceux qui font avancer la recherche ou la société", dans cinq domaines précis : la physique, la chimie, la médecine, la littérature et enfin la paix. C’est ainsi que, depuis 1901, les prix Nobel sont décernés au mois d’octobre par un comité suédois. Celui-ci oeuvre dans la plus grande confidentialité puisque aucune liste de nominés n’est diffusée et que la date de l’annonce de la récompense elle-même n’est connue que quelques jours à l’avance. Les lauréats se voient remettre une médaille en or, un diplôme, et surtout près d’un million d’euros. Cette dotation, prévue pour que les intéressés puissent poursuivre leurs recherches sans être entravés par la pression financière, est parfois discu

Bernard Steinitz opened his gallery in 1968, and he swiftly became a legend for his extraordinary ability to discover rare and beautiful pieces from around the world. The uniqueness of his eye shows in the easy blending of seemingly diverse objects to build a magical world of texture and colour. His son Benjamin joined him in 1991 and together they have become legendary for the amazing installations they created with 18th Century boiseries forming a dazzling backdrop for a glittering array of chandeliers, textiles, sculptures, carved consoles and mirrors.
