Roman Vishniac and Chim Photography at International Center of Photography
The title of the International Center of Photography's excellent, career-long retrospective of the great photographer Roman Vishniac, "Rediscovered", is a bit puzzling at first. After all, Vishniac's A Vanished World, published in 1983, has been one of the bestselling photography books of all time, its record of Jewish life in Eastern Europe on the eve […]
Kenny Scharf Art, Donuts, and Merchandise at Paul Kasmin Gallery in NYC
Even if the name isn’t ringing a bell, you probably recognize Kenny Scharf’s distinctive, cartoony style. After all, Scharf’s an SVA grad who has been showing in galleries and museums all over town–and all over the world–since the early 1980s.

NYC Museum Opens New Exhibit; Tenement Museum Unveils Shop Life
It had been a few years since we last checked in with the terrific Tenement Museum in NYC; we'd gone twice in the late-aughts to what they now call the Sweatshop Workers tour. We took the trip with our kids and some out-of-town guests, and highly recommend it. But with the opening last month of […]
Bill Brandt Photography at MoMa; Shadow and Light exhibition
England's Bill Brandt is certainly one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century, a journalist and artist whose brilliant compositions, combined with his love of everyday subject matter, helped redefine the medium and spark the modernist movement. Which is laudable and important and all that, but more to the point, Brandt's photographs–of London […]
Madison Square Park Art; Topsy-Turvy Camera Obscura Installation
Want to see the beautiful, historic Flatiron building in a new/old light? Just last week the Madison Square Park Conservancy’s excellent public art group Mad. Sq. Art opened the latest large-scale installation to grace its grounds, a giant Camera Obscura which visitors can enter and marvel at the old-timey magic this simple device delivers.
Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity at the Met: Tourist Bait or Worthy Exhibition?
It sounds almost comically desperate, the new Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity show at the Met, an exhibition dreamed up by the museum's marketing and accounting departments. Like uploading a video of "cats and giggling babies doing the Harlem Shake AND Gangham Style" onto You Tube in a guns-blazing attempt to go viral.
El Anatsui: Gravity and Grace Exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum
It's always nice to see the under-loved (and, to be honest, too-often underwhelming), Brooklyn Museum in NYC put on a great show, and Gravity and Grace: Monumental Works by El Anatsui is exactly that, a true crowd pleaser that's engaging, provocative, playful, joyous, sublime.
Jean Michel Basquiat Street Art at Gagosian Chelsea Art Gallery
We love pretty much everything about Jean-Michael Basquiat, his art and his story. The teenage runaway turned NYC street artist, in the bad-old late-'70s days. Putting his Samo tag everywhere downtown turned him into a stratospheric art star in the 1980s. His extraordinarily prolific career ending in an instant one night in '88, dead from a […]
New York City’s Best Skate Parks, in Downtown Manhattan
Any skater worth his deck will tell you that the whole city is a skate park, with wallies and ollies, inverts and flips, slides and grinds just screaming to be tricked in public spaces all over town, "no skateboarding" signs be damned.
