DON’T MISS IT: Kate Gilmore’s “Walk the Walk” in Bryant Park

The park’s grounds were bathed in ample afternoon sunlight, but the hundreds who milled about all braced themselves against the unseasonably brisk winds running through. Most folks were there because it was just another stop in their usual routine, but on this day something kept them milling.

“Remember That You Will Die: Death Across Cultures” at the Rubin Museum of Art

Memento Mori is the Latin-Christian maxim translated as “Remember that you will die.” It is altogether sobering and, in some perverted sense, comforting; it’s an epitaph for the masses—commoners and kings alike. It is also the subject of the ’s latest offering, of the same name, and although said offering is a modest one, this exhibition is, quite literally, breath-taking.

Projects 92: Yin Xiuzhen’s “Collective Subconscious” at MoMA

Her goal was not to wash away collective memory, but to take her country’s aged loose ends and infuse them with a sense of hope. True to form, Xiuzhen has continued this practice of converging old and new with Collective Subconscious, which consists of a bisected minivan – front and back – joined together by an enclosed tube constructed out of stainless steel and scraps of used clothing.

Kandinsky and Kandinsky: From Abstraction to Gemism

The Vasily Kandinsky show is a trip back in time to when the Guggenheim first opened its doors, to when Frank Lloyd Wright’s building was still considered a subtle slight on urban architecture.

Maya Lin’s New Landscapes: Sculptural, Actual, and Environmental

Cruder models of mountainous terrain sit on stacks of cardboard boxes, topographical maps of terraced ravines are cut out of atlases and old phone books, and colorful orbs of varying size rest, almost cautiously, on the gallery floor.

Bauhaus at the MoMA: A Very Long Essay That Develops a Proposition

While there’s certainly a finite amount of space on the sixth floor, it would be nice if Bergdoll and company further separated themselves from the Berlin show, and reserved a little slice for that side of history that says the Bauhaus didn’t die.

The Art Story • May 1, 2009

Thomas B. Hess - Art Historian, Critic and Editor

"The tendencies toward and of abstract painting and Expressionism may be the most important movements in the art of the first half of our century, and the most relevant ones to more recent developments."

The Art Story • May 1, 2009

Hard-edge Painting

"Forms are finite, flat, rimmed by a hard, clean edge. These forms are not intended to evoke in the spectator any recollections of specific shapes he may have encountered in some other connection."

The Art Story • May 1, 2009

Umberto Boccioni - Italian Painter, Sculptor, and Theoretician

"What we want to do is to show the living object in its dynamic growth"

The Art Story • May 1, 2009

El Lissitzky - Russian Painter, Typographer, and Designer

"The artist constructs a new symbol with his brush. This symbol is not a recognizable form of anything which is already finished, already made, already existing in the world - it is a symbol of a new world."

The Art Story • May 1, 2009

Alberto Giacometti - Swiss Sculptor and Painter

"Memories of works of art blend with affective memories, with my work, with my whole life."

The Art Story • May 1, 2009

Edgar Degas - French Painter, Sculptor, and Printmaker

"A painting requires a little mystery, some vagueness, some fantasy. When you always make your meaning perfectly plain you end up boring people."

The Art Story • May 1, 2009

Elaine de Kooning - American Art Critic and Painter

"Inspiration is indispensable to my work, but it is hard to come by. It is there or it is not; it is a gift of the gods."

The Art Story • May 1, 2009

Kenneth Noland - American Painter

"Because of this the representation I'm interested in is of those things only the eye can touch."

The Art Story • May 1, 2009

Chaim Soutine - Russian-French Painter

"Once I saw the village butcher slice the neck of a bird and drain the blood out of it. I wanted to cry out, but his joyful expression caught the sound in my throat ... This cry, I always feel it there."

The Art Story • May 1, 2009

Robert Smithson - American Sculptor and Writer

"I am for an art that takes into account the direct effect of the elements as they exist from day to day apart from representation."

The Art Story • May 1, 2009

Robert Motherwell - American Painter and Printmaker

"Every intelligent painter carries the whole culture of modern painting in his head. It is his real subject, of which everything he paints in both an homage and a critique, and everything he says is a gloss."
