La rétrospective new-yorkaise de Kazimir Malevitch surprend par sa sobriété. Six tableaux de l’icône suprématiste russe recouvrent les murs de la petite salle du Guggenheim. L’intérêt de l’exposition n’est certainement pas dans la profusion d’oeuvres présentées, mais dans le caractère inédit de l’évènement : voilà 83 ans que ces tableaux n’ont pas été réunis. lire la suite ,,, french Morning News ..... http://frenchmorning.com/ny/2010/03/15/malevitch-in-focus-du-non-objectivisme-au-suprematisme/ UNTIL March 28, 2010 to see Anish KAPOOR With the inauguration of the Deutsche Guggenheim in 1997, the Solomon R.

On view Upper East Gallery Manhattan: Milton Avery % KNOEDLER: "Industrial Revelations" until may 1st

Image
Studio View (Chop Suey), ca. 1930s Watercolor on paper, 22 1/8 x 15 1/4 inches A close look at the little-known early works presented in Milton Avery: Industrial Revelations makes evident for the first time that Avery was an attentive observer of the immense technological changes that were taking place in the American economy and in society from the mid-1920s to the mid-1930s. Although Avery did occasionally exhibit some of this output, scholars and critics have tended to overlook this thread in his work, in favor of themes of leisure, nature, and the figure that anticipate his later development. Since Avery’s industrial images remained little known, they are absent from major studies of America and the machine age, the term often used to characterize the period between the two world wars. —Gail Levin (2010) Knoedler & Company is pleased to present,.............

ODON: FIAF presents an exhibition reflecting the art world’s new interest in paper as ........

Image
http://www.fiaf.org/events/winter2010/2010-03-17-odon.shtml UNTIL APRIL 24 2010 FIAF presents an exhibition reflecting the art world’s new interest in paper as a creative medium. Acclaimed French artist Odon’s thrilling, luminous spiral paper works employ this traditional material in a revolutionary and beautiful way. Early in his career, Odon’s intensely personal and mysterious images were inspired by the Cobra movement (Copenhagen, Brussels, Amsterdam), a group of expressionist painters interested in freedom of color and form. In the 1970s Odon began experimenting with the inclusion of cut and woven modifications on the surfaces of his paintings. By the late 1970s this had evolved into an increasingly complex process of cutting, shredding, and braiding paper, painted by him on both sides, into never-ending, sunburst-like forms that he calls mandalas. The ancient form of the mandala, meaning circle in Sanskrit, is a common symbol of sacred power in many cultures, representing a cosmic

de retour apres une terrible tempete" Rain and Wind Created a Deadly Storm"

Image
On the wall of a windowless auditorium in Manhattan, color-coded maps of the New York region filled two large screens, showing the Consolidated Edison customers who did not have electricity. Ángel Franco/The New York Times A vicious weekend storm tore through the metropolitan area, Dozens of tables, their surfaces covered by laptops and telephones, filled the room. The phones rang constantly, as if in a telethon. Information came from crews in the field on how quickly they were fixing downed lines. Every few hours, a staff meteorologist provided the latest forecast, and company officials updated each other on the number of hospitals, schools and nursing homes that were without power. As the worst of the weekend storm passed through the area, Con Ed activated its emergency response center on the 19th floor of its headquarters on Irving Place. In the last three years, it had been used just twice: during a heat wave in 2008 and when a steam pipe exploded in Midtown the year before. But

By Keith Loria | Email the author | March 6, 2010 The Evil Queen Credit Keith Loria Zoom on working on specific themes, and two interesting ones decorate the walls of the Oresman Gallery at the Larchmont Public Library for the month of March. On one wall hangs the exhibit "Heads on Sleds," consisting of a dozen snow-wing sleds painted with the faces of infamous women characters, such as the Evil Queen from Snow White and Cleopatra. "I was walking around my neighborhood one day and there was a sled thrown on someone's lawn, and because I paint surfaces, I thought it was a really unique potential for something, so I bought it and it sat in my studio for two years," says artist Ann Ladd Ferencz. "One day I turned around and realized it was the perfect shape o
