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. With vintage prints, contact sheets, handwritten observations, letters, magazine layouts, and more, the stories are brought to life and provide insight into how Capa worked.

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'...

Abraham Jiménez combines classical painting techniques and his own visual vocabulary to generate different types of scenes that are derived from a particular character, in which humor and the absurd manifest themselves in a world of reality and fiction. Andrés Basurto's work is characterized for the use of specific facial features t...

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.

2 reasons for publishing this post: 1)Nurture Art Gallery is a favorite among Galleries in Williamsburg. I mentionned them earlier as we were very well welcome by Benjamin 2) Leah Oates showed recently in Pool Art Fair and among all the artists presents (exception faite de nos amies du Westchester, of course) she is the one we would have awarded the Jury Prize.

You think you might know someone until you discover another "facette", or "cordes a son arc". This is one of the reason among many for which "La Promenade des Artistes" was initially organized. First brain storming around a kitchen table (no kidding!). With Nadine Jalem and Marie Wyatt, we agreed that many talented (mainly) women ought to be encouraged to show what sometimes they discovered they were able to produce , being forced to quit their job as they followed or accompanied their husband and children. Marie Wyatt didn't stop after this discussion and she put all her energy (a lot) to realize it. When was it??? 2001 was the first event and of course Marie had her house on the tour and it was in......RYE ..far far away... Far from the other houses , absolutly not walking distances...... And for the last 2 editions, Accueil New York added another dimension to the event. Check the website by clicking on the title.
