Turin: A City of Art Surprises

Written by Linda on October 24, 2015. Posted in Uncategorized.

My first surprise as we drove to Turin was a stop at La Reggia di Venaria Palace. Their magnificent gardens host bronze tree sculptures by Giuseppe Penone and dancing water fountains in the courtyard.

Once we got to Turin, we toured the Foundation Sandretto Re Rebaudengo. Located in a streamlined contemporary building by architect Claudio Silvestrin, it is a perfect setting to see the most forward and challenging art exhibitions. Be sure to eat at the cafe and look at the art vases in the gift shop.

The 11th century Castello di Rivoli, which houses Turin’s Museum of Contemporary Art, was another big surprise. The contrast of the ancient, architecturally restored rooms with the international, more contemporary collection of art works dating from the 1950s is memorable. Be sure to make a lunch reservation at their restaurant, Combal.Zero which has a two-star Michelin guide rating.

I was excited to tour the newly renovated Egyptian Museum. Critics have raved about the renovation, and justly so. It is spellbinding the way they show the Egyptian artifacts in context as to how the treasure was excavated: the viewer sees the entire room as it was originally found in the tombs.This museum is a “must see” when visiting Turin.

Juxtaposed with the opulence of the Egyptian Museum is the excellent Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli. This museum highlights the extreme restraint of architect Renzo Piano, who designed this small, private museum perched on the roof of the historic Fiat building.

Industrial roof of the Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli

Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli has masterpieces that include works by Picasso, Matisse, and Modigliani. As part of their programming, the museum invites artists to curate and show their private collections.

The best surprise happened on the day we were leaving for the airport. We visited the GAM, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary art in Turin. A splendid Claude Monet show was on view. Over 40 paintings were lent from the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. Room after room of world class masterpieces were on view, showing gorgeous impressionist landscapes and portraits of elegant late nineteenth-century women. The show was beautifully curated and received rave reviews.

The sign above the museum summed up this trip perfectly:

"All art has been contemporary" — “All art has been contemporary”

What a great way to say goodbye to a beautiful city.

Art Viewing in Connecticut and New York

Written by Linda on July 24, 2015. Posted in Travel.

Our Connecticut art tour started with lunch in Salisbury at Chaiwalla, known for their tomato pies and coconut cake. It was an auspicious and delicious start to our tour.

After lunch, we visited The Granary, which was high on my art “to do” list. The Granary was built as a gallery space for Melva Bucksbaum and Raymond Learsy’s collection on their property in Sharon, Connecticut. They are wonderful art collectors and philanthropists. On view was a moving show, beautifully curated by Learsy that references WWII and moments of his life.

Our next stop was the Re Institute located in an old barn in Millerton, New York. The barn’s loft space is used as a gallery and the views were breathtaking. Artist Henry Klimowicz is the host of this very special gallery. On view was Judy Pfaff‘s glorious, large and exciting works.

Jack Shainman created a gallery and cultural center in Kinderhook, New York. This special gallery located in a renovated school celebrated its one year anniversary with a retrospective of Ghanaian artist El Anatsui. The white walls and soaring spaces created the perfect setting for the large scale Anatsui pieces. This renown artist just won the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Biennale.

The famous Hudson River painter, Frederic E. Church’s family home, Olana, reflects his exotic travels, with a focus on the Middle East with mosaic tiles and Arabic calligraphy as part of the decor. Olana is now showcasing the “River Crossings” art project. This marks the first time contemporary art is exhibited at Olana. Contemporary artists’ works are integrated in a unique display with Church’s paintings and drawings. Familiar names like Chuck Close, Maya Lin, Martin Puryear and Will Cotton are some of the exceptional artists in this exhibition. River Crossings is on view until November 1, 2015.

During our travels we met artist Terry Winters who welcomed us to his studio to view his large scale paintings that will be in an upcoming show at the Matthew Marks Gallery in Chelsea in the fall.

Artists Laurie Simmons and Carroll Dunham (who goes by Tip) graciously invited us to their home and studios. On our way to Dunham’s large studio, which is in the back of their property, we passed a beautifully maintained vegetable garden. There were many colorful finished paintings in the studio. Dunham says ” I like to live with my paintings for a long time, there is a sense of loss when the paintings leave.”

When he spoke of being married to an artist, Dunham says “We understand the rhythm of each other’s work. There is no competition–we are two artists working in different ways”.

Laurie Simmons’ studio is filled with many windows and amazing light. It is on the second floor of their newly renovated home that was formerly a school. Simmons, who is known for her photographs, just finished making a movie. In her studio she created a closet filled with clothes and shoes that she used for that film. Their home was such a warm and inviting environment, we didn’t want to leave!

The “country” is no longer our concept of the “country” of long ago. It has become chic and sophisticated filled with world class private collections, renowned artists, delicious farm-to-table food and breathtaking views. Now we understand why many artists and contemporary art collectors are drawn to this part of the world.

Museum Hopping in Boston

Written by Linda on June 6, 2015. Posted in Exhibitions, Travel.

At the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Maurizio Nannucci’s powerful neon work states “All Art Has Been Contemporary.” Nannuccci’s neon sign summarizes what historical and contemporary art viewing of today represents, and in Boston, there is no shortage of art experiences.

The Museum of Fine Arts Boston

The Museum of Fine Arts Boston is an encyclopedic museum filled with treasures. The beautifully curated Linde Family Wing for Contemporary Art is a “must see.’ Contemporary jewelry and ceramics are displayed in the same gallery with contemporary paintings.

Combining the ancient and the contemporary seems to be a new trend in museums – for example, the MFA Boston displayed contemporary Native American ceramic pots with ancient ones. In the Linde Family Wing, Brooklyn-based Josiah MhcElheny’s reflective installation combines the ancient art of glass blowing with a contemporary vision.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

I was eager to see the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum; it is the apotheosis of an inspiring private art collection that is open to the public. The Gardner’s new addition by Renzo Piano cordially welcomes the visitor into the light-filled space with a contemporary feel. The original elegant villa stands strong, filled with exceptional decorative and fine art. In the Spanish Cloister, off the court yard is John Singer Sargent’s dazzling picture, El Jaleo, an unforgettable work of art. Room after room is filled with masterpieces.

Also on view is James McNeill Whistler‘s piece, Nocturne, Blue and Silver: Battersea Reach, can be the forerunner of Rothko’s imagery with its muted color fields.

Harvard Art Museum

A jewel of a museum with ancient coins, as well as beautifully displayed German, Austrian and European art. Ingeniously curated, the third floor gallery presented artist Félix González-Torres word instillations on the ceiling of a gallery filled with antique sculptures intermingled with Louise Bourgeoise works overlooking the courtyard.
A special exhibition of Mark Rothko’s Harvard Murals, created for the Holyoke Center, was a highlight. The canvases had been faded by exposure to light at the Holyoke Center, which led art historians, conservators, and scientists to create a custom-made software. This software projects the colors onto the canvas, simulating their original vibrant colors.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

MIT hosts an impressive collection of public sculptures throughout their campus: Henry Moore, Mark di Suvero, Alexander Calder and Sol LeWitt. We also saw works by video and performance artist Joan Jonas, who represents the United States in the 2015 Venice Biennale.

The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute

Robert Sterling Clark was heir to the Singer Sewing machine fortune. He and his wife, Francine, lived in Paris and collected Old Master European paintings, 19th century American and British Art and French Impressionist paintings. After moving to America they wanted a safe environment to display their art. They chose Williamstown, Massachusetts and opened their museum in 1955.

A new visitor center opened in 2014, designed by Osaka architect Tadao Ando, incorporates new exhibition facilities and a pavilion linking to the original mansion. Architect Annabelle Selldorf gutted and reconstructed the galleries, using beautiful, rich gem-toned colors to highlight the works of art. The critical success of the new expansion has art lovers talking about “The Clark” as the “Bilbao of the Berkshires”.

The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA)

Williams College Museum of Art gallery was searching for a place to display their Collection, and found it in this vast industrial complex, formally the Sprague Electrical Company. It was renovated and opened its doors in 1999. Yale University Art Gallery, in partnership with MASS MoCA and Williams, launched an exhibition of Sol LeWitt’s drawings, on view through 2033.

When we visited, the museum was installing Clifford Ross’ photographs and a large print for the show Clifford Ross: Landscape Seen & Imagined. There will be forthcoming collaborations with Jenny Holzer, James Turrell, the estate of Louise Bourgeois, The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and Laurie Anderson, who is planning a recording and radio studio. MASS MoCA is a huge space; you should set aside a large chunk of time to explore their vast galleries.

Peabody Essex Museum

Situated in Salem, the Peabody Essex infuses energy and excitement into this charming and historic town. Founded in 1799 by the East Indian Marine Society to display souvenirs from their world travels, this museum has a long history.

Canadian architect Moshe Safdie transformed the atrium into a beautiful, soaring volume that makes the visitor pause and appreciate the space before visiting the galleries.

It is an historic museum that integrates contemporary art within the galleries in the most creative and unique way. In the Native American gallery there is a video of traditional Native American dancing and a break dancer dancing to the same beat.

Artist Michael Lin was drawn to the PEM’s renowned collection of Chinese export porcelain. The museum commissioned Lin to produce hundreds of porcelain figures and sold these objects in the gift shop referencing their vast holdings of Chinese export porcelain.

Trevor Smith is the brilliant new Curator of Contemporary Art, but has a much more entertaining title: he is “Curator of the Present Tense.” The Peabody Essex Museum was a surprising and engaging art experience and now it is my new favorite art museum.

Rose Art Museum

Outside the Rose Art Museum, the late Chris Burden’s “Light of Reason” greets visitors.

Once inside, we saw the exceptional show exploring how Helen Frankenthaler influenced modern and contemporary artists from 1950s to present day. It is a gorgeous and exciting exhibition – pictured here, Mark Bradford’s large-scale works, titled “Sea Monsters”.

Massachusetts is rich in art and visual history. Though I art-binged for five days trying to see it all, one could slow down and take five months to explore this vast art landscape.

Mana Contemporary

Written by Linda on May 19, 2015. Posted in Exhibitions, Foundations.

Mana Contemporary is a hotbed of artistic energy and unlimited possibilities. This arts center is based in New Jersey and named after the man who started Moishe’s Moving Systems.

As you approach the facility, you are greeted by a knockout red outdoor sculpture, and then large hanging white sculptures made of styrofoam in the foyer, down a hall are realistic sculptures by Carole Feuerman.

Mana Contemporary provides an impressive list of services for artists, art collections and institutions. It is first and foremost a storage facility. Other services include a frame shop and a crating business for art transportation. There are offices for magazine publishing, artists’ studios, a dance studio, performance spaces, a commercial silkscreen business, and a student art residency program.

The space is home to the Middle East Center for the Arts (MECA) and renowned Chinese art star, Shen Wei and the Richard Meir Model Museum.

During our visit, there was a preview of art for a charity auction and a show of the Pellizzi Family Collection, which included works by George Condo and Francesco Clemente.

Mana Contemporary brings together different parts of the art world. In their small cafe as you look around you can see artists, dealers and collectors all interacting. One gets an “art high” just visiting this artistically stimulating environment!

Mana Contemporary is open to visitors Monday to Friday from 10AM to 5PM. Tours are at 11AM, 2PM, and 4PM. Closed weekends.

A Weekend in Cuba

Written by Linda on April 1, 2015. Posted in Travel.

Arriving at the airport for our trip to Cuba, the first big surprise was noticing that there were 7 flights from Miami to Havana – all in one afternoon. While we checked in, we were amazed at the assortment of luggage that passengers were bringing with them: cartons, boxes and suitcases wrapped in plastic. We wondered if they are presents for friends and family members or commerce.

Approximately an hour after take-off, we were in Havana. After checking into our charmingly restored hotel, the Saratoga, we had a delicious and chic dinner at El Cocinero, which is housed in an old vegetable oil factory.

Almost next door to the restaurant is La Fabrica de Arte Cubano. An art highlight – this large, hip space houses a mega gallery, a video room, a contemporary dance area, video art projects, art installations, rock concerts and rotating contemporary art shows. Young Cubans line up around the block to get into this very cool venue.

Ricardo Torres Pérez, a professor at the Centro de Estudios sobre la Economia Cubana, spoke to us about the recent economic shift in the country: 80 percent of his students said they took his economics course to start their own business. “Never underestimate American commerce,” Pérez said.

Now, Cuban nationals can buy property, so investors seeking real-estate opportunities in Cuba are looking for Cuban partners. There also exists in Cuba a huge black market, which Pérez called engaging in an “informal economy.” The average wage is 40 dollars a month, but people take on jobs like selling gas at a station, and they take some of the gas and sell it on their own.

Besides learning about Cuba’s economy, we also had the opportunity to meet many of Cuba’s top artists who live a very glamorous life. They are able to travel and show their work globally. They have computers and access to the Internet which most people can only dream about.

Eight Cuban Artists You Should Know:

Carlos Quintana
We visited Quintana’s studIo, which is located in a large, gorgeous home in Havana. He was in the midst of preparing to leave the next day for New York and a show in Chelsea. His large paintings often have Asian influences, featuring characters such as Buddhist monks, samurais. He is also participating in the Cuban biennial.

Rigoberto Mena Santana
Mena creates strong beautiful work referencing walls and mosaic tiles. He uses Japanese papers as a base for his abstract expressionist works, which have been shown in Havana, Berlin, Mexico City, Guadalajara. He remarked how “Cuba is changing and it is impossible to think how fast it has changed.”

José Vincench
Vincench’s works are powerful pieces of political expression. He works with words like “dissent,” “autonomy” and “liberty,” superimposing the letters of each word to create new shapes and designs. Using a computer program to play with the words, the outcome is two dimensional, yet deep and multilayered – each work carries an emotional weight.

Mabel Poblet Pujol
Plastic plowers, bicycle tires, pins and acetate – these are just a few of the materials that 28-year-old Mabel Poblet Pujol uses in her works, which span from photography to installations. Many of her works are self-referential, you can spot her face in many of her photos, such as a screenprint on clear acetate. Her work has been shown in Havana as well as at the Center for Cuban Studies in New York.

René Peña
He has been referred to as the “Cuban Mapplethorpe,” but Peña cites Eduardo Muñoz Ordoqui and Marta Maria Pérez Bravo as his influences. He is now scanning works, and uses his body as part of his work.

Juan Roberto Diago Durruthy
Diago’s work has been shown at the Venice Biennial in 1997, and at the International Contemporary Art Fair (FIAC, Paris) in 1999. Most recently, his work was featured at this year’s Art Basel Miami. His abstract pieces use canvas, bamboo and recycled materials in collages, text and religious symbols, exploring issues such as race, slavery and religion.

René Francisco Rodríguez
In 1991, when Cuba lost its aid from Russia, René Francisco found himself without paint. “What do you do when you don’t have anything? Use toothpaste, rags, and oil drums.” Francisco used Soviet toothpaste to make paintings. In one of his recent photo series he asked a very poor child about his dreams, “what did he want to do in life”?– he said he wanted to be a dancers or wearing a tuxedo. The artist photographed him wearing the clothes that reflected dreams.

@Large: Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz

Written by Linda on March 26, 2015. Posted in Uncategorized.

@Large, the Alcatraz installation of Ai Weiwei’s work, is not easy to access. One must first book a ferry trip to the abandoned island where the former prison is located. Now under the auspices of the National Park Service, the Pacific Ocean island has breathtaking views of San Francisco and the Bay Area.

In the New Industries Building’s first room, Ai Weiwei installed Chinese dragon kites. There are pictures of birds and plants representing nations that violate the human rights of their citizens.

The second room, the LEGO room, displays portraits of more than 175 people from around the world who have been detained because of their beliefs. Their portraits are made of 1.2 million LEGO bricks.

In the Cellhouse-Block, fragile-looking white porcelain bouquets of flowers can be found in bathtubs, sinks and toilets. In other cells, Tibetan and Native American chants can be heard.

Give yourself plenty of time to get on the ferry back to San Francisco and Pier 33. When we visited there were massive amounts of people trying to return and big lines. Alcatraz is now under the auspices of the National Parks Service.

Pattern and Decoration: A Trend on the Horizon

Written by Linda on January 21, 2015. Posted in Exhibitions.

Pattern and decorative art seem to be quietly seeping into the art world.

The Museum of Modern Art’s widely successful show of Matisse’s “The Cut Outs” is drawing hundreds of people, even on the coldest days in New York City. This colorful exhibition embraces the work Matisse did when he was bedridden and he continued to create gorgeous works, which he pinned to the walls of his homes.

In Miami, Beatrice Melhazes at the Perez Museum was featured in a vibrant retrospective that has drawn many admirers. Her exciting pattern work and brilliant colors are a tonic for the winter blues.

Commercial galleries have also taken up the mantle. In November, the Skarstedt Gallery on the Upper East Side had an exciting show of Albert Oehlen’s “Fabric Paintings” which in fact was oil painted on beautifully patterned fabric.

Even Mary Boone got into the act. Franceso Clemente’s colorful and patterned tents in her Chelsea Gallery were a big surprise.

The “pretty” patterns on canvas of Texas-based artist Mark Flood highlighted at the Rubell Family Collection in Miami also reflect the resurgence of pattern and decoration in contemporary art.

Historically, in the mid 1970’s there was an interest in decorative motives and materials. These decorative elements such as, fabrics, wallpapers and glitter, were the medium for new works. Some critics felt that it was a response to Minimalism that was pervasive at the time. With Minimalism, you could no longer see the hand of the artist in works of art. Pattern and decoration looked fresh, shocking and homemade. Some critics were hostile to these works because they were deemed “decorative” and “pretty.” Pieces were made by sewing, weaving, gluing and embroidery which were often characterized as “women’s crafts” and not important, serious or meaningful.

Artists such as Miriam Schapiro, Kim MacConnel and Robert Kushner were pioneers in this field and embraced ornament, fashion and fabric.

Keep an eye out for these names because I think you may see a renaissance of their works or younger artists embracing their materials and techniques.

Art Basel Miami: A Week of Great Art and Parties

Written by Linda on December 21, 2014. Posted in Uncategorized.

With all the fairs, installations and art openings, art collectors complained that it was impossible to see everything. Below is what Art Privée felt were the top ten exceptional art experiences.

The Best of ABMB 20014:

1. The Rubells’ 50th Anniversary celebration: Black tie and bites of cake at 9:00 in the morning.

2.Do-Ho Suh at the Margulies Collection: A full scale replica of his apartment corridor made of translucent nylon.

3. Marina Abramović: In the main convention hall, we were shocked to see colorful blankets on cots where people were sleeping with noise eliminating headphones. Marina Abramović partnered with the Beyeler Foundation to present one of her mind bending installations.

4. “One Way: Peter Marino”: Peter Marino’s newly opened collection at the Bass Museum is beautiful and edgy. The installations were created in the most unique way. As you walk the ramp to the gallery, his collections of painting are encased by a black wall frame. A unique and exciting art experience.

5. Jugofresh: We were delighted to discover this juice bar, that has a mural of the Last Supper behind the counter. Delicious!

6. The Perez Art Museum: PAMM is currently showing a Beatriz Milhazes retrospective, with room after room of color and patterns — very joyful! They hosted a one-year anniversary party Thursday night in what is the best museum event space we’ve ever seen!

7. Decobikes: Getting around South Beach proved to be a real challenge, as traffic was horrendous and Uber/Lyft rates were often double to quadruple the standard. The solution: Decobikes, Miami’s bike sharing system sponsored by Citibike. For $4 per half hour, it’s a great way to circumvent traffic and get some exercise!

8. Hypersalon: The brainchild of Hyperallergic, Transfer and XPO Gallery, Hypersalon offered ABMB visitors daily artist talks and exhibitions exploring “networked culture in contemporary art.” One of our favorite pieces on view was Carla Gannis’s delightfully tongue-in-cheek “Garden of Emoji Delights.”

9. Daniel Arsham, “Welcome to the Future” at Locust Projects: Arsham created a huge excavation site, filling an enormous pit in the gallery floor with 20th century“artifacts” such as boom boxes, Walkman’s, VHS tapes, electric guitars, portable televisions and more.

10. UNITLED: In its third year, this beach-side satellite fair closed with a record attendance of 32,000 visitors. Untitled was dubbed one of the “Hidden Gems of Miami’s Satellite Art Fairs” by Artnet. One of many highlights: Ebony G. Patterson’s vibrant Bling Funeral series (pictured below) at Monique Meloche Gallery, depicting coffin sculptures on sticks.

Modern & Contemporary Auction Week in New York

Written by Linda on November 15, 2014. Posted in Uncategorized.

We started the modern and contemporary auction week by visiting Sotheby’s and viewing the Mrs. Paul Mellon sale. We then went on to Christie’s and Phillips, and were amazed at how much excellent material was for sale. We were right: Christie’s and Sotheby’s sold more than $1.78 billion worth of art in one week.

We were privileged to have an exciting private walk-through at the Guggenheim with Valerie Hillings, curator of the show Zero: Countdown to Tomorrow: 1950s-1960s.

Heinz Mack, Otto Piene and Günther Uecker’s works seemed so fresh and new, though some were created in the 1950s. This show brings together over 40 artists from ten countries. It is thrilling to be exposed to art from the twentieth century that looks like it could be created tomorrow.

Visiting private collections and showing how collectors live with art is always a unique experience. We had the pleasure of visiting Jane Lombard’s home, Lisa and Richard Perry’s Pop Art collection (that makes one happy just being there) and Jo Carol and Ronald S. Lauder magnificent collection with spectacular views of New York City.

The Skarstedt Gallery opened a new space in Chelsea and hosted us to a delicious private lunch with artist George Condo whose new works are on view. He told us how he worked on these dynamic painting in a one-car garage in East Hampton. Condo shared that “painting got me through life, a way of surviving.” What is next for Condo? Abstract sculpture.

In the spring of 2015, the Louise Bourgeois Study Center and Museum will open in two New York City townhouses, under the name of the Easton Foundation. There, collections of her diaries, personal writings and photographs will be archived.

Her residence will be left as is and made into a museum with a sculpture garden. The 2 houses are next to each other at 347 West 20th street. We visited the townhouses, which are now being renovated, and her longtime assistant Jerry Gorovoy spoke to us about the foundation’s goals.

Our last stop was with artist Mary Heilmann who generously opened her studio and spoke about moving to New York and how her art career unfolded. We sat comfortably on her colorful chairs that she had created, surrounded by her paintings.

It was an epic week for the auction houses, and exhausting for art enthusiasts trying to see it all!

Must-See Gallery Shows in Chelsea

Written by Linda on October 24, 2014. Posted in Exhibitions.

We recently braved a rainy day for a spell of gallery hopping in Chelsea. Always teeming with exciting art, a few shows stood out to us in particular.

El Anatsui: Trains of Thought at Jack Shainman Gallery

Using materials such as liquor bottle caps, printing plates, and copper wires, El Anatsui creates elegant structures that look awe-inspiring and weightless all at once. At Jack Shainman, his new wall pieces and a three-dimensional structure elevate and highlight the artist’s relationship with metal.

Trains of Thought
October 18 — November 15, 2014
Jack Shainman Gallery, 524 West 24th Street, New York, NY 10011

Jenny Holzer: Dust Paintings at Cheim & Read

Though peaceful in appearance, the stories behind Jenny Holzer’s works are quite different. The sources for her paintings are military documents and reports, which Holzer subverts to create new meanings. In some of her new works, she plays with censored text in redacted CIA and FBI reports.

Dust Paintings
September 11, 2014 – October 25, 2014
Cheim & Read, 547 West 25 Street, New York, NY 10001

Wang Guangle at Pace Gallery

New pieces by abstract and conceptual Chinese artist Wang Guangle are on view at Pace Gallery. Wang Guangle creates his “Coffin Paintings” by laying the canvas flat on the floor and applying layers of paint in alternating colors, inspired by a burial tradition in his hometown province of Fujian, China.

Wang Guangle
October 10 – November 1, 2014
Pace Gallery, 510 West 25th Street, New York, NY 10001

Chris Martin at Anton Kern Gallery

Chris Martin’s first show at Anton Kern Gallery features intensely colorful, shimmering paintings. They are also immense in scale – Martin produces some of the larger works by connecting canvases.

Chris Martin
